25 weeks!

Wow, 6 months pregnant on this surrogate journey. I know I haven’t really posted much about it. I’m so grateful to be able to use my body as a vessel to grow a baby for someone else! Having Sawyer at the young age of 21 has put so much perspective on life. I am so lucky to have such a beautiful, rad, smart, strong-willed baby girl, she truly changed my life…and to think at one point I had said that I never wanted kids. Now I can’t wait to have more.  I am so thrilled to be able to do this for this sweet amazing couple and I know they are so excited to meet their baby girl. People struggle everyday with not being able to have kids and my heart feels so good being able to help someone else. It’s been a rough pregnancy with nausea, vomiting, migraines, dehydration, body aches, back pain, insomnia and so much more, but when I sit and think about it, I realize I am so lucky to feel this. I know this baby’s mom would do anything to feel the joys of pregnancy even just once. Pregnancy is an experience in itself and when I think about it like that it makes it all worth while and I find myself pushing through even harder and it makes me remember why I did this! Changing my thoughts to positive ones instead of being upset that I feel awful and so on. It’s all about mentality! This is forever a reminder to truly be grateful for what you have and to keep giving back! I know my mindset on things has changed so much and it’s helped me grow up and learn to handle situations better and has taught me what I want out of life. Thank you to those who have stood by me on this journey and who have given me love and support!
