Our late & very sad update.
I am sorry for not updating. I will say that things did not go well and honestly I didn't want to update because I was really upset.
We went in for our ultrasound and found one of the babies was gone with just the sac left and had died right after the last ultrasound. The other baby was there and looked so perfect, but had no heartbeat. The baby measured very close to where we were in the pregnancy and had most likely died just the week before. We all had to wait for another ultrasound the following week which was so very hard, and when we went back in confirmed the same terribly sad results. That was a Monday. I spoke to Dr. Granzieir and we set up and D&C for that Wednesday..May 6th. All went the best as could be expected and it was over. :( To say I was upset is an understatement. It was incredibley hard to go through all of that, and my heart was broken for Andy & Tina. We did talk about it and they are done; they will no longer be trying for anymore children. I can only respect their decision, and I do understand.
I have just kind of stopped my surrogacy journey for right now..I still plan on helping one more couple but right now I am in no rush. This was very hard for all of us and for the time being I am enjoying my family and the Summer.
On a happy note, Christina turned 5 last week! Can you believe it?! She is such an angel, and brings so much joy to this world. As Tina said to me, "Christina is that much more of a miracle after going through all of this." I completely agree. :)
I apologize again for not updating, but my heart has been broken for the loss of these sweet babies. I hope the next update will have better news. But for now, I hope you will all enjoy your Summer!
