Limbo and a surro-friend

It has been a few days since my last update, but so far there is not much to update. There are so many parts and pieces to surrogacy that all need to turn in order to bring it all together. I have read through many other blogs that the beginning stages of surrogacy, the surrogate is left in limbo. That is where I am, just awaiting the next email or phone call with directions on what papers to sign next or my next steps. Most recently I filled out a health insurance application so beginning of next month I will be covered by a surrogate supportive insurance company. I also signed the contract and other forms and papers. Nothing to exciting! In addition to paper work, the Hunnie and I are on a great diet and working hard to lose weight and get healthy before I pack on the baby weight!

I had a dream last night that I gave birth to a beautiful baby and was so filled with happiness when I placed the baby in IP-moms (T) hands. I can’t wait for that day, to make (T) and (S) parents, AMAZING!

Oh! I guess there is something pretty exciting. Through a total coincidence, it turns out a close family friend of ours is also applying to be a surrogate! It was such a pleasant surprise when we both figured out the other was going to also be a surrogate! We are both keeping things very “hush-hush” as we have not told our families and are both a bit worried about our family’s reaction to this. But how cool is that!? Pregnancy is a lonely time as it is, don’t get me wrong, I LOVE being pregnant but it’s something that your husband or others cannot relate to as the changes and feelings are only occurring within the pregnant woman. So I would imagine that surrogate pregnancy would be even more of an isolated feeling. Especially if family or friends are not supportive (something we worry about with our families).  But it will be great to have a fellow surrogate to confide in and talk to about the process and feelings that will occur during this journey, but more importantly the feelings that come AFTER the birth. I feel that having another surro-mommy to talk to about the tough after birth feelings and who will truly understand the feelings, will be a great help!  Currently she is awaiting I.P’s, crossing my fingers she gets snatched up as fast as I did!

Okay well enough procrastinating, I have finals to complete today – wish me luck and hunnie is out for the day so I have to hyper kids (who’s recent pastime is fighting over one toy among the room FILLED to the brim with toys) all to myself while trying to do these finals! Hehe. Until next time...kisses and belly rubs to all the other surro-mommys out there making families and creating love!
