In the beginning

My story starts with my desire to help another couple have the joy of a baby that I myself have experienced 3 amazing times. Happily married and mother of three, full time employee at a busy dental office and a part-time student why not have someone else's baby?? No really, the idea was so exciting to me to be able to help another couple conceive. In August of 2009, I met with a local surrogate agency and began this process. I then was matched with an amazing couple, C&E. I have to be honest, when the agency told me that they had matched me and wanted to set up a meeting, I was so nervous. But, as soon as we met them, we knew this was the right couple and we were making the right decision to move forward with them. This began many months of Dr. visits, psych exam, meds, and much more. Finally, last saturday we transferred 2 eggs, one was 8 cells, one was 7 cells. Crazy to think of, isn't it? So the 2 week wait began. My IP and I have mulled over doing a home test in the next couple of days, of course against the Dr. orders!! Lots of excitment to come, I hope. I wanted to create this blog as a gift for her, although she and I talk every day, her family and friends and my family and friends can now follow all the excitement.
