Why?!

I have been getting a lot of

Why are you doing this?
Why now?
Do you think you will be attached to the baby?
How do you think your kids will feel?
How does your husband feel about this?
Are you doing this because your husband is fixed and you can't have kids of your own?

etc...

I have always wanted to do surrogacy. I have watched friends and family members struggle with infertility and my heart ached for them. From an early age, I knew that I wanted a big family. At family events, you could find me with the babies/younger kids 99% of the time.

I am one of the few who love being pregnant. Love every little aspect of it.

I think being a Surrogate to a family is one of the most amazing selfless gift ever. Some people look down on it, {2 people in my family are not sure about me doing this} but put yourself in that couples shoes, would your answers be different?

I am very grateful that my husband is behind me 100% and that makes me feel amazing.

Our Journey Begins...

Well, I have started the process to be a Gestational Carrier {GC} / Surrogate!!! Dave and I have really talked about it for a year and we feel now is the best time to start this amazing journey! My family are supporting me 100% and that is such a great feeling. I truly love my family!

Yesterday I started researching agencies and put in a few applications. A few hours later, I got a phone call! I was so excited and nervous at the same time. I swear my heart was beating so fast! I called the agency back and I was asked a ton of questions.. I mean a ton! Then we talked about how the process will go and what is expected out of me. I should be receiving my packet of paperwork early next week. I know that this can be a very long process or a quick process. I am praying everything goes well and we get the ball rolling sooner than later!

I am beyond excited about this journey. I feel in my heart, this is the path god has chosen for me. I am ready to give a family the most precious gift ever and fill their arms with love... 

I will definitely be keeping updates about this!
