OK....I finally have permission and her blog is up and going so I hope when you are done reading you will check out her blog because it is AMAZING!!! This is going to shock many of you but Charis is......my sister in law Kelly!!!! So....let me pick up where my last blog left off.....a couple of years ago I was talking to my sister in law, Kelly and she had begun thinking about being a surrogate. I asked my friend Erin for information for her and then didn't hear any more. Apparently they had decided that having a baby for a family they didn't know might not work for them.
Kelly is married to my older brother, Toby. They were high school sweethearts and have 3 gorgeous boys!!! She has been pregnant twice and is the only person that I know that has delivered twins that were both almost 8 pounds!!! She seriously is ideal as far as candidates go for a gestational carrier!!! She also lives in Salem, so there is a good chance that I can be involved with the doctor appointments if she is to get pregnant!!! Kelly has an amazing story to share and her blog is linked on the right side of this page called.... 9 month babysitter 9monthbabysitter.blogspot.com . Please check out her blog because it seriously is soooo good!!! I just read it and am still crying!!!
So, Jason and I are going to meet with the fertility specialist in St Louis, Dr Randall Odem, on February 28th and will get all the information and also find out when we can start the process....it is of course a process. I am just so excited for all of our family to get to go thru this journey together and to get to see just how amazing of a person she is!!! It is amazing to me that someone who has that ability to have easy pregnancies would be willing to be a "9 month babysitter" and do that for someone else!!! I hope that I can use this time to really show her how much I appreciate what she is doing and I don't take one bit of it for granted!!! We have both agreed that we are ready to get all the technicalities and legal "crap" out of the way and move on to the fun stuff....but that will be here before we know it!!!! Please continue to follow OUR journey!!! Also linked where her blog is linked is her husbands blog.....they are both great writers!! I joked with Kelly that we should write a book when this is over but we decided we would go straight to a movie!!!
