Here we go again!!!


Hello family and friends,

Well, as you most likely know we unfortunately lost our babies yet again. We transferred two embryos to Lindsay on July 25th. On August 4th, we received the phone call that Linday's blood work was slightly positive but very low. Her blood work was repeated two days later and it was negative. She was no longer pregnant. It was incredibly hard to get this news. Especially under the circumstances we were in at the time.

August 4th was also a wonderful day, but in a very different way. That day, my mom received her new heart. My mom was not born with a heart defect like me, but had a rare condition with no cure. She very much needed a new heart. Our prayers were answered on August 4th. It was wonderful that my mom got her second chance, but I was so devastated for her donor family. I could only image what they were going through. Please keep them in your prayers as well. We do not know who the donor was, it was completely anonymous.

My mom is doing very well. Her new heart is working well with her body. I am so excited for my mom, but I so badly wanted her to wake up from surgery and I could tell her she was going to be a grandma again. However, that was not what was planned for us and our journey. I know I never met our babies, but I miss them. It hurts to know we won't see them grow and hold them. We will always love all our little angels and we will see them again one day.    

We are moving forward and planning a third try. We can't give up! I know one day our baby will be here and I can't wait for that moment. Lindsay has been wonderful. We have no words to thank her for all she has done and gone through for us. Lindsay, we hope you know how much we appreciate your help and willingness to stick with us! Thank you!

We will be holding fundraisers and have set up another GiveForward site. To make a donation please visit: https://www.giveforward.com/fundraiser/7sl5/project-baby-m-third-times-the-charm-
All donations are appreciated and will go towards the medical costs involved with surrogacy.

Thank you for reading and for your support and prayers!
