Wombmate Ready

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 ♥️

Be The Change.

Today I had a very unfortunate encounter with someone. Someone I don’t even know and all I could think was how awful this was.

She was so disrespectful and hurtful with the things she was saying. I reached out to her which was wrong on my part I should have left it alone but when someone is being an awful person to someone you care about its hard to let something go. It’s especially hard when someone is being downright mean to someone.

I truly couldn’t understand why someone would be openly saying these abusive and hurtful words. For no reason, out of nowhere. Literally lashing out because she what, felt like it? I kept thinking what if I didn’t have such thick skin? What if the next person she says this to can’t take it and hurts themselves, or worse, takes their own life? This is not okay. Bullying is not okay. saying hurtful things to someone and not thinking about how they feel about it or even having a care that these words just came out of your mouth is not okay.

When the world is already filled with so much hate why would someone want to put more hate out there? Why would someone want to opening beat down others with abusive and hurtful language?  It truly gives me an upset stomach thinking about the hurtful things that people say and how it affects others.

Why do people think this is okay?

There is so much negativity everywhere.

Lets be the change we want to see in the world.

Lets lift each other up instead of tear each other down. Lets love on one another because you never know who that person might be that just really needed someone to be kind to them today. You could literally change someones day by just being respectful and kind.  People have feelings. Even when someone looks like they have it all together and nothing hurts them, it does.

And truly, it costs NOTHING to be a nice person. Being nice, and positive and caring rubs off on others, imagine if the majority of the world was like this? Would the world be a different place than it is now?

Be the change.
