Here we go again!

Well, I figured it’s about time for yet another update!

It’s been hard to post because im definitely one busy mama! Between work, dance, awanas, MOPs, preschool, and Alex’s pageant, I’m always on my toes! My two definitely keep me busy.

It’s hard to believe I’ve been in this whole process for over a year. What a year it has been! I’ve traveled back and forth to DC over and over! It’s beautiful there, I’ve kind of fallen in love with it, honestly. I can’t wait to take both kids for a visit. Alex got to go with me last time, and it was a blast. She loved it.

Next week, I head back to DC AGAIN! I think this is the 8th time already. Crazy to think!

This is the fourth time going through all of this! Lots of vitamins, hormones, shots. Appointments and driving and flying. We all know I hate flying 😂 But you know what....I wouldn’t change it for the world! Sure, I’m exhausted and it comes with headaches and I’m starving basically 24/7, but I’m the end I’ll know I can say I gave it my all and didn’t give up. I just know a beautiful baby will come from all of this.

Two amazing, wonderful people are finally going to get what they’ve wanted. I have faith this is going to happen. I still feel so blessed that they chose me to do this. I’m thankful every single day. 💗

So about 2 weeks from now, as long as everything looks okay at my next appointment, we will do the transfer! I’m so ready. This whole thing has definitely made me practice patience, that is for sure! It’s all very much worth it though.

A week from today I will be in DC for my appointment on Wednesday! Make sure to send lots of good luck to me and the IPs that everything checks out okay for the transfer.

Here we go again. I’m ready. 💜

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...
