Surrogate Journey

Well, my journey as a surrogate mother is finally going to really begin ! I met John and Alyse Merritt on the internet in January of 2006. They posted that they were a Christian couple looking for a Christian surrogate mother who wouldnt consider termination or selective reduction. We started talking and were just meant for each other. God gave Luke and I a peace and excitement about doing this for them. We all flew to Florida to meet them in February and our feelings were only confirmed. Since then there has been many shots, Dr. appts, calls to annoying attorneys who never call back, pills, patches, annoying nurses (naming no names :) but now today Alyse is having her surgery to get her eggs out and the precious little babies will begin their lives today. Modern science is amazing. I will then fly to Florida this Friday and have the transfer either Saturday or Monday. I am excited that it is finally happening. I feel like a lab rat right now with all these drugs circulating through my body, but I know it will all be worth it in the end. I cant believe I am going to be pregnant again in a few days. Am I totally insane!????

Amazing Observation skills !!

Oh my goodness, I had no clue how observant 21/2 year olds can be. Luke and I have discovered that we are going to have to be a little more discreat about where and when we do things :) The other night, Luke was lying on the couch naked and Carter walked up to him pointed at his penis and said "What is that?" It was hilarious And then later on I was lying on the couch and took my pants off and Carter comes up to me and says "Mommy pants on!" "Daddy dont take mommy's pants off" I just looked at Luke like "I guess he told you" They sure grown up fast these days :(

Obsession with nakedness

Carter you are now obsessed with being Naked and taking off your diaper in the most inconvenient places. The other day I was trying to go shopping at Old Navy with 2 kids (Ha! Yeah right) and I look down and you have taken off your shorts and diaper and are just sitting there showing everyone your package. I looked around and thankfully noone was really paying attention. Boys ARRGGGGHHHH
