Surrogacy take II

 As many of you have heard I am in the process of doing a second surrogacy.  The most wonderful women found me on surrogatemother.com.  Her name is Helena and she is from California.  Helena and her dear husband were in the midst of a round of IVF when he tragically passed away.  She now has four of their precious embryos left and has asked me to carry them for her. I am so excited for this Journey! I could not have asked for a lovelier person to carry for. We went to visit and do my medical testing just before Thanksgiving.  Being there in California with Helena was the most fun I have had in a long time!! Helena was determined that we try every style of Asian eating available in CA.  San Francisco is the gateway to Asia she told us.  It was amazing!!!! We had Sushi, Tia, Japanese, Dim Sum and more. We went to little Italy and had gelato for the first time and loved it!.  She also took us to the San Francisco Museum of Science! It was amazing!!! We stayed with her in her amazing apartment which overlooked the city.  We had so much fun there with her in California.  We didn't want to leave!! She was so good with the kids and such a gracious host! We loved every minute there with her. I am so excited to start this journey with Helena. I know she will be an amazing mother and can't wait to help her get that gift!

More posts to come on the surrogacy so stay tuned ;o)

Here are some pictures from out trip

Yummy! Dim Sum! One of the coolest, Yummiest places I have ever eaten at! We loved it

Never too young to learn to use chop sticks

This butterfly flew over and landed right next to Nolans head while he was looking over the railing! The Museum was super fun! This is the amazon room.  Birds and butterfly's were flying about. So cool. 

Helena took us to see the San Francisco bridge! It was so cool

Helena took us to Pier 39! We each picked out a key chain and had chili bowls. It was so fun.  Nolan is huddling in the stroller.  He had a tummy ache and ended up throwing up that night.. poor guy
