I had thought, during my first pregnancy, that when I had the all the children I wanted I would check into helping others but then I went into labor. My pregnancies were pretty easy but not the deliveries and my doctors warned me NO MORE.katyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17344546666806346254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36095574.post-64908710753664920682008-03-04T12:06:00.000-05:002008-03-04T12:06:00.000-05:00What an unselfish gift of love that you gave by be...What an unselfish gift of love that you gave by becoming a surrogate.Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18000962853788425167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36095574.post-7132280677386982502008-03-04T11:03:00.000-05:002008-03-04T11:03:00.000-05:00Three kids in three years....grounds for sainthood...Three kids in three years....grounds for sainthood, as far as I'm concerned; I mean, living through that, as well as the following years of diapers/breastfeeding/chronic lack of sleep/etc. - if that's not a miracle, what is???!!!!! On a side note - I see through the media that you guys are voting for big-league basketball down there, so, I just wanted to say - take our Sonics, PUHLEEEEEEZE!!!!! But be forwarned - they STINK! And, they're expensive. But still, take them.

You are very brave to share such a personal story and even more so, brave to think of infertile couples when you had three littles ones under foot. I have to know this speaks volumes as to how big your heart is.

ONE! I learned after being liberally spritzed the first time, to put a baby wash-cloth over the offending part as sort of a reverse-umbrella :)<BR/><BR/>*************<BR/><BR/>“Will my boobs EVER return to normal when I’m done breastfeeding?” <BR/><BR/>Actually? I never wanted *my* version of normal boobs. I wanted, saaaaay, Halle Berry's version of normal boobs. <BR/><BR/>**************<BR/><BR/>"...and we kidded around during her pregnancy about how I thought her husband was nice-looking, and I would be happy to bear his child." <BR/><BR/>OMG! How could you be so tacky?! That is just so wrong and inappropriate! :) I feel like I can say that (TOTALLY IN JEST! for those who might read this) and get away with it; now that I'm where I am...finally :)<BR/><BR/>I'm really enjoying the surrogacy-story, by the way :) I'm so glad you are able to write about it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36095574.post-69381359823163669362008-03-03T13:15:00.000-05:002008-03-03T13:15:00.000-05:00p.s. hate when I hit publish instead of preview. ...p.s. hate when I hit publish instead of preview.
