You have not lived today until you have done something for someone who can never repay you.. That's what I believe in from my experience

The love and joy that comes from parenthood is undeniable, and it doesn't matter how you get there. Even some of our favorite celebrities choose surrogacy to build their families.

To my womb mate, my belly buddy, my first surrogate baby… WE DID IT!! As our journey comes to an end, I can’t help but to get emotional and think about how far we’ve come! A successful embryo transfer in April 2022, 14 weeks of daily injections, countless ultrasounds and blood draws, & what seemed like never ending doctors appointments… but all for a purpose, and that is YOU! You’re here now & you’re perfect! I couldn’t be happier to give you the gift of LIFE.

Can the surrogate mother breast feed the baby? Is that possible and if yes what she can take for that?

Back in January our intended mother let us know she was 8 weeks along with a miracle baby! They were unsure as to how the pregnancy would go because of her history of miscarriages so we all agreed to continue on this journey! - Now the Intended mother is 19weeks along and they are expecting a baby girl! 🎀🥰We couldn’t be happier for them!! We are pausing our journey so that they can focus on their pregnancy as they prepare to welcome their little miracle into this world!

I've been celebrating Mother's Day since 2019. Mother's Day 2019, I was pregnant with our first son, Luca, and I was celebrating Mother's Day as a soon-to-be-mom. For Mother's Day 2020, I was celebrating as a Bereaved Mom because we lost Luca. By Mother's Day 2021, I was able to celebrate with my earth-side newborn baby, Enzo, delivered to us by our surrogate, Jennifer For every single Mother's Day from here on out, I am reminded about who brought this honor to me. Another mother. A mother who loved her daughter so much that she wanted to make sure she could bring the same joy and love to another family. I get to celebrate this day with joy, rather than pain, because of surrogacy.​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ My journey in grief as a Bereaved Mother showed me the goodness in people that I had not noticed before. My journey in grief also allowed me to understand how powerful surrogacy is. Without my experience of loss, I don't think I could fully grasp the sacrifices that surrogates make to bring babies to this world. All surrogates are mothers and without them so many of us would not be. ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​

Of course this surrogate birth would be my most difficult birth yet! 1 week overdue ✅ Induction with Pitocin ✅ Artificial rupture of membranes ✅ Vacuum assisted delivery ✅ Posterior presentation ✅ Shoulder dystocia ✅ Hand by face ✅ Nuchal cord x3 ✅ “Big baby” 8.9lbs ✅ Still managed to speak up for what I preferred and have a vaginal birth with zero pain meds and left the hospital 2 hours after birthing him! 🙌🏻

weeks bump update ✨ The bump is definitely growing faster now and I feel like there’s a baby in there 🥰 (before that I swear I thought I was just bloated) It’s a very exciting time and my apetite is beginning to improve even though I still feel nauseous at times. I have one BIG craving… ice cream!! I also eat yogurt, something I’ve never really liked before, so this is a weird one for me but I’m going with the flow… the body knows what it needs ✨ Jo is the happiest she’s ever been now that she has an excuse to eat ice creams every day! She calls it “emotional support” - if I eat it she has to eat it as well. Seriously if I only knew this is all it takes… 😂 My energy is also improving so I hope with the good weather I can start going on longer walks 🥰 Things are looking better after a very challenging first trimester, I feel I can finally enjoy being pregnant🤰 I will keep you updated, as usual, in the next weeks! Sending so much love to all of you and especially to everyone else that needs it ❤️
