(August 10, 2008)Well, the clock is ticking sweet child, and time is moving swiftly as we await your arrival! I received a letter from a couple who we've become very close to, and a wealth of information and research for each other! It's funny because we've taken this journey together, and yet we've never even met! Your father and I started this journey so long ago, Dr. Patel's first Canadian

(Sunday, August 10, 2008) Well Sweetipie, Momma was planning on flying in to be with you early! To bond with you! To feel you, feel you kick, and sing my special lullaby to you! Play your siblings music box to you! Momma's coming baby doll ... soon! I was hoping to come to you early, to have you hear my voice! I have been told that S doesn't want that! Even though we got her a cellphone, and

(July 21, 2008)Prior to leaving for Anand, we received an email asking if we would like to pay $125 USD for a Baby Shower for our Surrogate. This kind of hit us like a bomb. I am NOT proud of how we reacted to this request, but such is life. You cannot turn back time, only place a positive where there was a negative..a Big Boo Boo on our part!The following is the email we received!Hello,I want to

(June 13, 2008)After these scans I emailed Dr. Patel and even spoke to the Doctor who does the Sonograms about your conditon. They both reasurred me that you were fine. Everything else is good, and your beautiful little heartbeat is at 148 bpm. However, I am still researching this, little one.Hello,S is fine & staying at surrogate house Nadiad with Nirmala nurse.Mild pelviccetesis of kidney is

(June 12, 2008)Well May was GREAT! No news is good news...right?On June 11th you had another ultrasound scan done. We received it on June 12th. All was good on it until I read the bottom..."the comment" box.Mild Pelviectesis of left kidney noted.Follow up at 34 weeks.Something gutwrenching hit my stomach. Mild Pelviectasis!All I could see was something wrong with your kidney. Fluid on the pelvis

(May, 2008)Well my sweet child, May has been pretty uneventful. YaaY!You are growing like a bad weed..lol..and Doctor Patel says that you are a big baby. I've always had big babies..so you are my typical whopper. Usually between 8.5 and 10 pounds. They say each baby is bigger then the last, so you should be a nice big dumpling. I can't wait to hold you in my arms.I Love You So!

(April, 2008)We used to go crazy waiting for news of you, and our surrogate. Sometime's it just didn't seem real, especially since we lost your twin. It was so odd! Unreal, like I was in a fog. It was like after we lost your twin that our pregnancy was gone! It was like for a split second we would forget we were still pregnant. That you were growing strong in her womb, when it should have been

We decided early on in our pregnancy that we were not going to tell anyone that we were pregnant until the three month mark.What a mistake! I would never do that again. It robs you of your pregnancy, your fun, your bragging rights, most of all if something goes wrong with your pregnancy..if you lose your pregnancy. It's like it never existed. It's like your child never existed! This is so wrong

(January, 2008)We were settled with the fact that we were done with surrogacy, and as we stated previously had written and thanked Dr. Patel for everything..and that was it in our minds. It was over! About a week later we got an email from Dr. Patel asking us how we were doing, and that she could prepare us for another cycle in January. Your Father and I were really unsettled this time...maybe

(November, 2007)Well we're here! We've been instructed on all medical procedures, what we are supposed to be doing. Can do, can't do, and when we are to do it! So let's get the ball rolling!I can honestly tell you that this was extremely stressful for your Dad and I. We followed Dr. Patel's protocol and now was the infamous wait for our embryo's to grow!To see how many would survive and be ready

(November, 2007)Well Sweetheart, we met Dr. Nayna & Dr. Hitesh Patel today.What a wonderful couple they are! We lingered around Dr. Hitesh's office most of the day getting paperwork finished and just chatting. Your Father is quite the gabber and had a great time with Hitesh...me too! They even took your Father and I to their home in Anand for drinks. How kind of them to do this.Since we were

(November, 2007)We flew into Ahmedabad with Jet Airways, a short comfortable flight after an incredible six hour flight with British Airways..we made to London an hour earlier than scheduled. We were thrilled. I Love British Airways!Anyway, after hours of long flights we settled very comfortably into Le Royal Meridien, Ahmedabad. We crashed for hours, both your Dad and I were just exhausted. We

Canadian Pioneers in Surrogacy, India. (August, 2007)Wow, if someone had told me a few years ago that hubby and I would be travelling to India for a child via Surrogate Mother..I would have said, "are you NUTS?".First of all, I'm a FERTILE MERTILE!..or I was until my Doctor discovered some abnormal cells on my cervix. I thought..no,no,no..not me! Cervical Cancer...What? I remember my legs shaking
