Tra la LA LA FUCKING LA!!!!

Ok, so it's been a while since I've had many good/happy things in my life.

H and I had always been anti-kid. About 6 months ago I told him I was pretty sure I had changed my mind. He hadn't. And we had a pretty big...issue. It wasn't really a fight, just a difference in what we wanted. A rift.

To make things more complicated, I have fertility issues (PCOS, tendency towards blood clots, etc). Last week my sister told me she would be a surrogate for us if we needed/wanted one. I told this to H. And he said he had thought about it, and the importance of family, and changed his mind!

It was like angels rose up out of his mouth, shooting rainbows from their tits. I couldn't believe he said that. We're still 2-3 years away, but I am just so happy. So excited at the idea of being able to be a mom to this man's children.

I know it's flameful we didn't knock this out before marriage. But, we thought we were on the same page, then I threw us a curve ball.

I am celebrating with tequila. Tequila Tuesday!!

Im glad you guys are in agreement

How long are you going to try before you have your sister surrogate?

I don't think there's anything flameful about this.

To be honest I'm not sure if I could really ask that of her. Mainly it was just was spurred the conversation. Right now I suppose we're just in the 'we'll cross that bridge when we get there' camp.

That's awesome :-)
I know kids aren't for everyone and all that, but I was also unsure for a long time, decided to try at 30 and he's the light of my freaking life!

Woohoo

Remember when we used to hand each other cardboard babies?
No? Before your time?

I asked my sister
She said no at first but we talked about after that and I told her that my employee offered and then she changed her mind lol
Her reasoning was that I don't know what my employee eats lol again

I don't think I would ever actually go that route but I like having options

[spitforspat]

Cardboard babies are sadly unbeknownst to me.

Lucky- my sister said the same thing about not being able to control what a surrogate eats. She never drinks. I told her if she were my surrogate she'd be required to drink 1 glass of wine/month after first tri. She seemed hesitant.

Also - tequila is no joke, y'all. If I didn't meticulously check before posting this would make NO sense.

I think it's great. DH and I were adamant about not wanting kids, then we got married and changed. Did all the IF treatment, then came to terms with the fact that we weren't going to have children.

We let that sit for awhile and now are pursuing adoption. Things change and as long as you talk it out and you're both on the same page, that is freaking awesome!
