Happy New Year, Everyone!
I look forward to this day, as it is my day to reminisce of the days that led up to a very special one, January 2nd, 2008.
Dec 31st, 2005 I was chatting online with a friend (Kate Powell) and she tells me that she is filling out an application to be a surrogate. She sent me the link and I signed up too! My application was completed in January 2006. On April 13th, I received a Potential Match and on April 14th, a single guy at the time... said YES. We met in May and confirmed the match. After three attempts at IVF, the triplets were conceived!!! The rest is history (and documented in this blog, lol).
July 2017 was the second time that I got to see the triplets since they were born BUT the first time that I ever got to hug them. I was not sure if I should hold them after they were born and then the nurses didn't think it was wise. :( So I am thankful that Ru & Miguel kept in touch and I got to watch the triplets grow up on Facebook! They came to Minnesota that summer to visit the hospital that they were born in... and to meet me! :)
December 2019, I found out that my two oldest adult children purchased tickets for the kids and I to spend Christmas in California. My oldest daughter, Kaitlind, lives just 28 miles from the Triplets. So you bet, we got together. It was so great to see them and HUG them all!
