Third time’s the charm🍀

Hurry up and wait. 

Hurry up and wait. 

And then wait some more!

I’ve been in this process for close to a year, it’s hard to believe that! Around this time last year was when I finally made the decision to do this, and started researching agencies. Since I first started this journey, it’s been a whole lot of hurry up and wait. You hurry to get paperwork done, then you have to wait, what seems a lifetime. Then you have to wait to be matched, which seems to take even longer! Then you hurry to get medical records and then you have to wait to be cleared, then you hurry to get the legal stuff together and signed, just to wait some more!

But let me tell you something. All of this waiting is very much worth it. Nothing in life comes easy. If this has taught me anything so far, it’s patience, and a lot of it! I know the end result is going to be something incredible, and I cannot wait for that. 💜

I’ve been through lots of up and downs since the beginning. So far, we’ve had two transfers. Both failed. I was sad, that is for sure, but I wasn’t ready to give up, and neither were they. So we were going to do another one! I was so thankful and eager to try again. 

I just know they are going to be the best parents. They are incredible people, and I cannot express how grateful I am to have been matched with them. I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better couple to do this for. 

Recently, I started a new round of medication! I was so ready! I’m not a fan of shots but I was so excited to start again. I have faith that it’s going to work. This is the third transfer, and they say the third time is the charm! 🍀 

On Thursday I will be traveling back to DC to have one last appointment before the transfer! This time, I’ll have one of my little sidekicks with me, too! Alex is coming with me!!! I am SO EXCITED! She’s thrilled to be able to meet them after all of this time. It’s just a couple of days before her birthday, too, so it works out perfectly. They really are the best for making this all happen. 

March 8th is the transfer day so make sure to send us lots of sticky baby thoughts and good luck!

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...
