"For I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord. Plans to prosper & not harm you. Plans to give you hope & a future." Jeremiah 29:11
This blog post was written by Rachel, our gestational carrier I woke up at 5 am this morning…well actually at 12:30 am then again at 5 to pump for Scottie…I fully intended on going back to sleep. Yeah that didn’t happen…I am a homeschooling mama of 3 and we have co-op today, so a lot […]
To our GC, There aren’t nearly enough words, gestures, or expressions of gratitude that could ever show how truly thankful Matt & I are to be on this surrogacy journey with you. While we have struggled with infertility for five years and endured ten IVF cycles, nine IVF transfers, five egg retrievals, and six miscarriages […]
Well, y’all, I thought it was about time for an update – especially those that don’t follow us on social media/Instagram. I believe I’ve mentioned this before, but because my husband and I had no embryos to use (for our gestational carrier), it meant that we had to go through another IVF cycle (our tenth) […]
Oh, my dearest Wanda. We met about four years ago when we first started seeking help for infertility. I didn’t expect our relationship to last this long, nor did I expect to have such a love/hate relationship with you. Our first few months together in 2013, you found out my left Fallopian tube had become […]
We’ve gotten a lot accomplished in the past few weeks – I’m surprised! Or should I not be surprised? LOL. I’m a pretty impatient person, usually. First things first – we completed our puzzle fundraiser to help us with our journey to three via gestational carrier/surrogacy! Wahoo! We are extremely blessed and thankful for everyone’s […]
I’ve learned a lot over the years in the world of infertility – and I mean, A LOT. Struggling for nearly five years to build our family, allowing me to mingle in this world of infertility, has taught me these ten things: NOT EVERYONE IS GOING TO SUPPORT YOU ON YOUR JOURNEY and that’s ok, […]
I woke up this morning feeling pretty good. Nervous, but ready to take on the pain from the HSG and whatever the results would reveal – just like I have always tried to do throughout this journey. I’ve had countless procedures these past 4 years (hysteroscopies, egg retrievals, D&C to remove a polyp, laparoscopy, LEEP, […]
…it’s just been one of those days. One of those days that you question what the hell you’re doing on this journey?! One of those days that you question how much more can you take?! One of those days where you constantly question when will it be our turn?! And, one of those days where […]
Eeeeesh. There’s a lot — a lot to take in, a lot to process, a lot of information, a lot to think about. Too much!!! We met with KK on July 7th at 9am and sat with her & the nurse for an hour; going over test results, next steps/options, etc. It was truly wonderful […]
