People have asked the both of us on several occassions why would we tell people we are pregnant with only being at the 8 week mark, or even earlier for that matter. ( We told people at the 4 week mark). This was something Daniel and I spoke about before we started this entire process actually and for us it was an easy decision to make. We quickly found out that with going through a surrogacy procedure we needed the support from everyone around us, friends and family alike, this is not something that you do alone or you would drive yourself crazy.
Since we are doing this process in an entire different Country the amount of planning, coordinating, and scheduling of travel etc is mind boggling, and there would never be a way of doing this without everyone around you knowing something was up...as well the mood swings Daniel and I are both going through isn't something that isn't noticed by your friends and co-workers!
Through the process and the failed attempts we have valued the support of friends and family and sharing this entire process with the people we love and care for has been amazing, we wouldnt have chosen any other decision but to tell people what we are going through, plus its a pretty cool story! And we both thank everyone for this support.
BTW-finally received an email last late yesterday afternoon that the baby is still doing well, and the heart beat is still beating strong! another good day!
Enjoyed reading your posts! I think you are absolutely dead on right! Good luck with everything !!!! :) Stumbled upon your blog while looking for other surrogates... :) I'll be looking forward to your updates!
