I have two friends in the TWW right now, trying to conceive for themselves with the help of IVF and I'm so anxious for them!!! I also have a couple of good surro friends in the matching and cycling phases of repeat surrogacy journeys. I have to be honest and say, I've got the itch!!! Talking about the process with them gets me excited about possibly either helping K&S complete their family or helping another couple have a child through the miracle of surrogacy.
As some of you know K&S asked last December, when the boys were only 8 weeks old, if I might carry for them again. I answered without hesitation and told them I absolutely would love to help them with a sibling journey. We hadn't discussed a timeline so I chatted with K again the other day, 8 months after our initial conversation, and my impression is that she may feel she was overly ambitious to think they'd be ready for another baby anytime soon. LOL We didn't come to any absolute decisions but, the game plan is to touch base about this again in March and see where they are at with the idea of adding to their family. At the earliest we'd be looking to move forward end of Summer 2014. If come early next year they aren't sure of a plan, I may look to help another couple but for now I am completely content to give K&S some time to decide what they want for their family's future.
My sweet surroguys are now 10 months old and on the move, crawling and "walking" with help. K said they are always off in separate directions which keeps Mom, Dad and Nanny very busy. The boys have been getting their share of bumps and bruises from pulling themselves up and falling down - it's hard to watch over TWO babies at all times but, according to a short article I recently read, 7 Surprising Perks of Raising Twins, it's a good thing. Twin parents don't get to be "helicopter parents" so their children are more likely to be independent and stand on their own two feet (pun intended).
We have a visit with K&S and the boys coming up in a few weeks, can't wait to spend some time with them all again.
