Sadly, much of a surrogacy journey is bracing for disappointment. However the positive side of that, is when things are easy you feel so incredibly lucky.
This week Jeremy, myself, and my mom all flew out to meet our surrogate's family, our doctor, do a hospital tour, and have our 20-week anatomy scan.
All in a whirlwind 6 hours!
It was hilarious (y'all, our doctor is both an angel and a SNL character), a bit awkward, slightly triggering, and super heartwarming.
May it bring you more compassion, all the good feelings, and make you want to watch Bette Midler and Lily Tomlin this weekend! (wink)
Would be so grateful if you'll share this episode with anyone it might bless, tag me @HilaryRushford on Instagram, and take a minute to leave a review.
So grateful you're here!
