well, i guess we should start off at the beginning. you know, it's the best place to start. literally. the way the beginning of the story goes is amazing. for any of you out there who know that God can do whatever he wants will understand. so, here goes the beginning.......





well, i have a sister who went to a christian convention called 'women of faith'. she had a great experience. she was very fortunate with the roomies she had. one of them was jennifer. alyson had known her from church so she was excited when they became roommates after some hotel drama. well, you know how girls are...they like to stay up late and talk. they were taking turns taking about their hubbies, kids and life. jennifer mentioned that she and her husband were wanting to start a family, but she had had prior surgery that would prevent that. my sister, bless her, said "i know someone who will carry a baby for you". i am sure jennifer probably just about wet the bed. seriously, my sis knew i had always wanted to do that for someone. i had experienced a little trouble getting pregnancy with my kids and i knew how jennifer and jeffrey were feeling.

so, let's fast forward from august 2009 to march 5, 2010. i don't want to bore you with every detail, but we may hit on some of those later.

jennifer and i wanted to create a blog for those of you out there who are experiencing the same things or thinking about going down this road to build your family. we hope we can learn from each other and have awesome experiences in the process.

right now we are at the stage of testing and pills. we also have some dates of testing and training. we have a projected date of egg retrievel from a donor on april 27 and embroy transfer on april 30. we have found a good doctor who specializes in this and we love the office. we are choosing to use an office in kentucky. it is a bit from our house, but we have to do things out of state because of the laws in indina.



i also want to tell you that jennifer and i will be doing the post together. you will hear from both of us. valerie will be the gestational carrier and jennifer is the mommy. steve is valerie's husband and jeffrey is the daddy.
