Pregnancy Announcements!

Now normally I wouldn't send pregnancy announcements. I didn't with my first two pregnancies. I have never received a pregnancy announcement although the majority of my girlfriends don't have children yet. But this pregnancy is different. Mostly because of the fact I am not pregnant.

I am the only person in my family and friends to use a surrogate and i think the journey we are on together is incredible. You couldn't make up this kind of story. One of Luke's cousins adopted a little girl from China and she would send letters out of their story. I was fascinated. It's amazing the journeys people go on to complete their families.

Most of the people knew of my hysterectomy but some did not. We had send out a note in our christmas letter to let everyone know we were looking for a surrogate so I thought it would be great to tell them we found her and share our journey.

Everyday it's sinking in more. I am really going to have a baby. Me, the girl who almost 3 years ago (this month) was dying, who had her reproductive ability taken away. Today Bella and I were talking about the baby and I nearly started screaming with excitement. It ended with me crying happy tears. I am nearly giddy! The whole house is excited. The kids both talk about it alot. They can't wait to have another sibling. It just reenforces our decision to have a 3rd baby. This is so right for our family. Our little grande finale is on the way.
