In the course of surrogacy I have met some incredible people and I feel blessed in so many ways. When I first realized that I was pregnant, one of things weighing heavily on heart was that a pregnancy for me should mean a baby for A&S. While we had stopped pursuing surrogacy a while back due to various reasons, I think we all hoped that it would happen at some point.
Early on in my pregnancy, I emailed A to let her know that I was expecting. I felt uneasy sharing the news but I knew it was something that I just had to do. Even if we only had a shared dream of achieving a pregnancy for her and S at this point ~ those dreams have occupied so many of my thoughts and hopes over the last several years. The email I received in return (and many since then...) just warms my heart. She has truly been such a wonderful and cheerful support and her joy for us is so genuine. I cannot even explain how fortunate I feel to have her as a friend.
We both feel strongly that people come into our lives for a reason or a season .. I know that mine and A's path crossed to share the miracle of life in some way. It has not been how either of us expected it .. but it is sweet all the same.
Today I am just very thankful for good friends to share my joy.
