From Mom to Surrogate

My partner and I's first pregnancy was lost due to a miscarriage. We know all too well the harsh feelings of first time love and loss. That being said, my following pregnancies couldn't have been easier. I felt like my body thrived when I was pregnant and my two sons were born naturally and without complications.

So, when I became privy to Surrogacy, I knew I had to do it. I knew I had this special gift. At times it felt that it wasn't that impactful because it's so natural right!? And other times it felt like I was a superhero! I think it really hit home when the day finally arrived. It filled my heart so intensely full when I finally brought a bright eyed baby boy into the world for a spectacular family that had been waiting so incredibly long for.

I couldn't wait to see his Mom and big sister hold him for the first time. I was so insistent on little Mr. being handed over to his new Mother right away to start that bonding experience and she was so insistent that I held him right away as well to soak in all the hard work I had done. She was right.... It sent me over the moon to meet him, cuddle, and smell his sweet baby smell.  Overall, the whole process was so easy going. I felt that my needs and expectations were met with respect and grace. It's such a brave and moving experience, one that will stay with you and your family for the rest of your life.
