Typical Kate fashion, late on another blog post, like everything else in my life. 🤪 We’ve had a crazy summer and as it’s coming to an end, a new beginning for our family is starting!
I received my meds for my surrogacy transfer!
Up until this point people have been asking me “are you nervous” and to be honest, I wasn’t. I was so so so excited. Now I am still so so so excited but the nerves are starting. What an incredible thing that is coming to bless every single persons life that is included in this surrogacy.
I keep thinking about the intended dads and how exciting this is for them. How their life is literally going to be turned upside down but for the best reason in the whole world. A baby.
I keep thinking about my girls. How I am so incredibly thankful to god for giving them to me. For allowing me to experience the messy, amazing, crazy life of motherhood.
I keep thinking about how my girls will see it’s ok to do something for someone SO huge just because you can. You can help others selflessly because, what you put out into the world, god, the universe, karma, it will all come back to you 10 times over. I have been talking to Ellie a lot about it lately, she’s met the guys. She calls them the parents when we talk about it. I love that she gets it. I love that I can teach her to be selfless at such a young age before the world can do otherwise.
I keep thinking about myself and my husband. What a crazy year this is going to be, he’s going to have to experience my crazy Kate hormones, and just for the experience, ha! I keep thinking how thankful I am that he once again jumped straight on board when I told him I wanted to be a surrogate.
I also keep thinking about the question I hear a lot, “well if it’s two dads, is it your egg?” No, it’s not. They have an egg donor and they have an embryo ready. But that doesn’t mean I haven’t thought about donating my eggs. Why should I keep all these precious eggs to myself when so many others need them? But that’s for another blog post on another day. So this embryo I speak of, it was grown in a lab and when they transfer it to me, I will already technically be like 2 weeks pregnant! How crazy is science these days?! Am I right?! It’s so incredible.
I start my Lupron injections in just one short week. Lupron is used to stop my body from ovulating. This is so that when their embryo is transferred there is not a chance for any “oops” to happen. I would say I’m dreading the Lupron the most. I hate injections. I hate shots. But my husband keeps joking about how excited he is that he gets to do this. 😂 If you know my husband and his humor, then you get that he’s totally joking. I just keep reminding myself, bigger picture here.
In one month Devin and I will be heading out to California to meet this embryo and to become wombmates. 😜 I’ll keep you posted along this crazy journey. Stay tuned!
Xoxo Kate ♥️
