Getting back on the surrogacy horse!

Baby Brooks and Baby Brehn are 9 months already!!!  They are doing wonderfully.  I just attended their baptism and will post pics soon.  Brooks is crawling all over the place and has just learned how to navigate the stairs.  I have a visit scheduled for Tuesday to check in on them.  I can always be guaranteed to have a smile after seeing them!

What has happened since my last post....Well I have moved, my husband has started grad school, my youngest in now in kindergarten and I am ready to be pregnant again.  The number one question while I was pregnant with the twins was whether I was going to do this again.  My answer was always- ask me in a few months.  I had no idea how I would I feel.  Would I be okay physically?  Would I be okay mentally?  Would I miss my IPs?  Would I miss the babies?  Would I want to put my body through all of the shots again?  Of course!!!  The joy that the babies bring to their family makes all of it worth it.  I am very lucky that I live very close to the babies and I still see them and talk to my IPs very often.  They really consider me part of their family and I couldn't ask for anything more.

I joined an agency in July 2012 and was matched with a couple that in the end decided that they wanted to give IVF one more shot.  My IM transferred the embryos to herself and she is now pregnant!!!  I am so happy for her and can't wait for her to be holding her little baby(ies)!!! 

After that match ended, I took a quick break from the agency to take a class(which wasn't for me) and came across a couple that is here in the local area.  They have no children and are hoping to give IVF with GS a shot.  With my agency's blessing, I have decided to explore my options with them and we will be having our first appointment with the RE on Tuesday.  Lucky for me, they are using the same RE that I used when we transferred the twins.  I hope everything goes well!!

  1. I've read so many surrogate blogs and I am still floored by so many surrogates' desire and happiness to help other families have children. There is such a strong want for total strangers and it just blows me away and makes me happy to know there are women in the world like you who truly know the impact they are making on other people's lives. Thanks for your story and what you do.
