“It takes a village to raise a child is an African proverb which means that it takes an entire community of different people interacting with children in order for a child to experience and grow in a safe environment. The villagers would look out for the children.“
Above is from Ru & Miguel’s beautiful wedding 4 years ago in December!
It is beautiful to see Ru, Miguel and the Triplets surround by a village of their friends and family. There is an incredible abundance of love and happiness here.
Every year, just before 11 pm CST, I make my blog entry wishing the Triplets a VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Eleven pm CST is the time (eleven years ago) that my water broke for Baby B. Thus began the final part of my journey as their surrogate. Nurses tried to tell me that my water had not broken because their high tech tests said so. Thankfully I refused to go and the doctor ordered the ultrasound to reassure me. THANK GOD, right?! This is when they rush me to deliver the babies! :)
At 4:05 am CST on Jan 2, 2008, Xia was born, followed by Ru at 4:09 am and then Zhen at 4:12 am! I am crying as I write this... as always... I can remember their cries and seeing them first before each baby was taken away with their team of nurses. And here they are with their dads today...
Happy “11th” birthday, Xia, Zhen and Ru!
It’s amazing how much you have grown since I got to see you the Summer of 2017! You three are so truly blessed and I thank God for letting me help bring you into this world for your Dads! Hope you have a wonderful birthday!
Miguel & Ru, you are amazing parents. Sending LOTS OF LOVE & HUGS from Minnesota!!!
Love Always,
A Surrogate Mom (Kerri)
