Ding… Ding… Ding!….It’s time for round TWO!
Well almost.
In two days, July 17th, 2014 my surro twins will
be four-months old. (By the way they are doing fantastic and are the cutest
little guys who could not look more different! One with a full head of hair and
playful personality and the other super bald and very serious) I thought I
would take a year break in between surrogacies, but after about two months,
just long enough to forget the aches of a twin pregnancy and agony of labor I
was wanting to do it all again. All of it! the excitement of finding that
perfect match, the feeling of joy when the box of meds come in, the bruising
and relentless soreness after the IVF shots, the happiness on the parents face
as they watch my belly swell with their life and love growing inside and most
of all that precious moment of bringing a parent and a child together, as if
they were always meant to be. It is an addicting feeling I will admit. To be
able to create that much happiness is a power all in its own.
Last month I spruced up my profile and my agency asked if I
was interested in another round. I first felt as if I had to ask my former
Intended Parents. I felt like I would be cheating on them if I had another
person’s child without them knowing. They gave me their full blessing and said
that anyone who get me as their surrogate will be the luckiest parents on
earth. (pause for the Awww). Right away I had several couples interested and I
had to turn some away as I felt like we wouldn’t mesh well. Then came this lovely
gentleman, we will call “J”. I just had a good feeling about him. I took my
time and thought about everything very deeply, my health, my family, the shots
(because they suck!), and took into consideration how comfortable and perfect
life is right now as is, and I decided to move forward and meet with “J”. Tonight
we are having our first phone conversation. I am not nearly as nervous as I was
the first phone call with my last Intended Parents, I am more excited and
thrilled to start this next journey with a full understanding of it and such a
clear view of the beauty and love it brings.
This last year was filled with so much joy and love and a new sense of
self. I am so excited to do it again. Even more so I am thrilled to know that I
will be doing it with a fabulous group of 18 amazing ladies who have become
more like my sisters over the past surro journey, who I call my Surro-sisters,
and a close (even in location, like right-down-the-street-close!) friend who
will be having her transfer in the very near future! This is not yet common knowledge,
only a select few…and you…know about the possible journey #2. More to come!
P.S
I’m going to REALLY try to be on-top of this blog thing this
go-round!
