New Year, New Adventures!

Happy New Year!

I can’t believe how fast 2017 went by. It was full of many exciting new things. I got to experience DC a few times, which was amazing. It is an incredible city filled with life and beauty; there is a plethora of things to see and do. I look forward to going back, in just a few short days!

I can’t believe it’s almost time to go back again. I didn’t think everything would move as fast as it did! After finding out the last transfer didn’t work and the baby didn’t stick, I figured it would be a few months until we got to try it again. The team of people involved are wonderful, and are doing whatever they can to move things along as quickly and as smoothly as possible. I’m grateful 💜

I recently started all of the medications again! Who would’ve thought I’d be so happy to take medicine?! There are many different things I have to take, shots in my belly and soon to be my lower back, pills, vitamins...but oh my goodness is it worth it. I’m so thankful for the opportunity to do this.   I hope these next few weeks fly by, because I’m ready for our next transfer already.

I fly back to VA early Thursday morning and I have an appointment Friday morning and I’ll fly back home afterwards! If everything goes as planned, and the medicine is doing what it is suppose to, I’ll fly back again next week and we will do the transfer on 1/11! I cannot wait. I have faith that it will work this time. Im hopeful for the parents and want this so badly for this. They truly are two amazing people and I know they will be excellent parents. I can’t wait to see them again, either. They are some of the sweetest and kindest of people that I’ve been blessed to meet.

As I go into the new year, I’m ready for this new adventure in my life. I know things will fall into place perfectly, and everything will work out exactly the way it is suppose to.

Wish us luck and send us lots of baby dust 😘😘😘

Try Again

These have been two of the hardest weeks I’ve had in along time. Waiting was excruciating. Nobody likes to wait, but oh boy was this difficult. I mean, this is a big deal , and we all just wanted to know. I went for bloodwork 6 days after the transfer. This was to make sure my levels were all good, and my body was reacting properly to the medicine and doing what it was suppose to, and possibly see if HCG was present. There wasn’t .  That early it typically isn’t a big deal though, because the baby could have just implanted late. It happens often. I talked to my nurse and she said I’d go back in a few days to see if my levels raised. Between those few days I bought so many pregnancy tests.  I started seeing two lines! Plus signs! I was THRILLED . The parents were so happy. Of course, we weren’t 100% sure since I hadn’t had more bloodwork yet. We all stayed optimistic. I think I went to the store every day to buy pregnancy tests. Who knew you could be excited...

17 weeks and time is flying!

3 more weeks, and we are to the halfway mark! Time has definitely flown by so far! Tomorrow (8/15) I will be 17 weeks! Baby is now a whole 5 inches! The past few days I have felt lots of movement and little kicks. It’s such an amazing feeling.  We have had a couple of big appointments so far and we got to see the baby! At the last ultrasound we had, baby was all over the place and moving like crazy! We even saw the little fingers and toes. So precious ❤️ The dads get to come with to all of these appointments and I love that they get to see how much their baby is growing and changing. The bigger thing though is that the baby is healthy and right one track!  The next few months will be crazy but I’m looking forward to it! In October, I get to meet their other surrogate and her husband in the beautiful NYC! The kids can’t wait to see the guys again, they love them! I can’t blame them though, they are pretty great 😉  Then in November, my daughter Alex is comp...

Exciting things happening!

So many things have happened over the past several weeks! Lots of phone calls, lots of paperwork, and lots of planning! We had to review contracts, review them AGAIN, get things signed, notarized, faxed, emailed, mailed, it was a lot to do! We finally got everything in place after many months. This week, I got my schedule! It’s what I’ve been waiting for this entire time. I have many appointments over the next month. I have different medicines I have to take and different procedures I have to do. Am I nervous? A little! I think I’m more nervous about flying than anything honestly. I have to do that again in a couple of weeks and I’m pretty scared 😱 Of course, it’s worth it! I know a lot of things are going to change. Obviously pregnancy already changes your body, but when you have to take medicine, hormones etc, your body acts VERY differently. I am nervous about the hormone changes too, but I know I’ll be just fine. The IPs are getting excited as well. They were so happy when w...
