My end of spring break

Well it's Friday and my 'lil moose and I have had a wonderful week. She's really beginning to show more of her personality. I truly am blessed to have three wonderful children and to get the opportunity to stay at home for an entire week with our 10 month old. She's become obsessed with the dog's water dish - she LOVES to splash in it! She also 'tickles' my feet now and acts shy around strangers. She's talking a lot more too - she says, "qck, qck" for duck (I think) and, " tcsh, tcsh" for tickle-tickle. I'll definitely be looking forward to spending six weeks with her and my other kids this summer.

A surrogacy note - we have a new sw to work with and she's sent our file to a family. I am actually becoming a bit frustrated with the entire process. I asked my original sw about the "options" in my state twice and still have NOT received an answer. I may just have to get back on SMO boards and see if anyone else has had the same issues with the agency. Hopefully, that seems to be my new word, we'll get some information over the weekend to ponder.

BTW: the crazy weather in the country is driving me nuts!!

GS in waiting

It's been about a week now that we were "approved" all around to become a GS. Last week's possibility had us excited but now the agency said they have to ask an attorney from our state if surrogacy is legal with some international countries. Maybe I am wrong here, but don't you think the agency would already have a list?

The weekend was long and I tried to occupy myself with my family. Do you know how hard that is to do when you are anticipating something so huge? If you are reading my blog, I am sure you do - and in fact, I know there will be many more times to come. Anyone who knows me, knows I am not the "patient" type - I try to be, but somehow it never works!

After reading some surrogacy blogs, I am now fully aware of how many hoops every GS must jump thru to help a family bring to life their dreams of becoming parents. It makes me ask: Why can some have multiple children and others none? It definitely makes me question a lot in this world.

A few more spring break days for me...hopefully we'll have some news by next week.
