Off to a wonderful start! January 2015

Well, I have decided to start a blog. Not the most inspirational of beginnings, I know!

But I have been lucky enough to be blessed with a pretty inspirational story (at least, that is how I hope this 12-18 month journey will turn out!)

My husband and I are trying to have a baby - not so unusual, I hear you say …

Hubby and I!

I suppose what makes our story something worth writing about is that I was told 4 years ago that carrying a child would probably be the end of me. And yet, here we find ourselves, hoping that sometime next year, we will have a little one of our own!

The missing piece for us was an amazing lady who was prepared to put her own life largely on hold for at least a year, see countless doctors and medical professionals who will poke and prod her and risk her own and her family’s sanity - all this for the sole purpose of helping us achieve our dream to complete our little family. 

This incredible woman tells us that she has agreed to do this because it has long been her own dream to help someone who was unable to carry their own child, and her reward is seeing our happiness and excitement and the joy of creating a new little life. Personally, I can only put her incredible generosity and loving heart down to the fact that she is an angel in disguise!

Next instalment, the truly inspirational part of the story - our wonderful Surrogate, C!
