I’m just the pod for 2 peas! I’m not their mom. Just the carrier!

FEBRUARY 6TH

Baby Bella was born 1/23/2020. She was barely two weeks old, my body hadn’t even recovered from birth and I knew I wanted to do it again. Not only did I want to do it again, I wanted to do it for someone else and help a family.

I have 3 beautiful babies, my husband was in the process of getting fixed. I Knew that my body could handle birth, so why not. My pregnancy wasnt horrible, I knew between all the paperwork surrogacy would take a while. So I filled out all the paperwork.

FEBRUARY 7TH

I was given a call from the Surrogacy Source and answered it happily, that was quick! We took a few minutes to talk about all the steps that were involved and if it was still something I wanted to persue. This involves a background check, colecting medical records, no preexisting conditions, no pregnancy problems, I can’t travel, excreta. I said yes, and she sent over a medical records and a HIPPA fourm for me to complete.
That was easy enough!

FEBRUARY 8TH

My husband thought I was joking! Aparently I laugh at the end of what I’m saying when I’m not serious, so he doesn’t always listen (men). Yet, I’m genuinely a happy person. So I laugh a lot. I shrugged it off. Anyways, We spoke about it after the baby was born and aparently, I laughed. So when we spoke about it again, he was confused. But ultimently he was okay with it. He just wants to make sure I take care of myself. He asked about egg donation. I’m scared of that. That’s my DNA. Maybe I’ll consider it one day.

FEBRUARY 19TH

My medical records got apporved! Another step down!

MARCH 27TH

I had another meeting today. This time through skype. My friend COVID has everyone on their toes, so it took a while. This was about all the criteria I had to meet, payments, and all medication that was required. I have to turn in pay stubs, my lisance, an explanation of benefits, and a few other things. There is a commitment of 6months, I couldn’t sign on with another agency if I agree, which is understandable. My husband was there this time, so that was nice beause it was really informational. She had mentioned because of COVID19 Everything is postponed. Usually finding a set of IPs (intended parents) is what takes the longest so we would do that first while I completed all the other steps.

MARCH 28TH

I was told we have a set of IPs! At first I was confused because that takes the longest. Aparently, that usually doesn’t happen, but I couldn’t be more excited. With in the next few days I turned in the rest of my information.

APRIL13TH

The psychologist said I was crazy enough to continue my journey! She asked my husband and I questions about our family, school, hobbies. It wasn’t stressful at all. She also sent me a true false questionare, that was LONG! But I understand, I think they were trying to rule out mental problems.

APRIL 16TH

I got to skype with the intended parents! They are from China, they’ve been together 5 years and married for 1. They are ready to start their family. We have all the same ideas on how to proceed. There will only be one embryo, and we can stay in contact occasionaly after the baby comes!

APRIL 17TH

I SAID YES! Now we wait for COVID to be over. I will go to Organ twice. Once for routine work, then again for implantation. After that the journey will be between my OB and I. With a few other obligations.
