No matter what, you have to stand there smiling the whole time when you really just want to leave. I feel your pain.Two Shorten the Roadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03552869938010784108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-152264461129808248.post-87819744031574510442008-03-02T08:18:00.000-05:002008-03-02T08:18:00.000-05:00Oh my goodness!

Thank you for your comment and congratulations on our baby girl.<BR/><BR/>I just read yor latest entry and will read the rest of your blog asap but felt compelled to send you these words:<BR/><BR/>As my Irish friend would say: "Fair Balls to you" for being able to overcome your strong feelings and attend the birthday party! I know my wife went through the same feelings and lost many of her friends BECAUSE she couldnt handle them having children and she couldnt.<BR/>It takes a very strong person to overcome those feelings! She eventually did make contact with her best friend again - but it is rare contact. Now that we have the baby coming with the help of our surro-mom things are slowly changing (THANK GOD!).<BR/><BR/>I would like to offer an exchange of email addys and if you like be an outlet for your frustrations, feelings, good or bad news and any talking you may need. Both you and your hubby! I know how much we could have used someone going through what we did just to bitch at or just to ask!<BR/><BR/>so..if you are interested:<BR/><BR/>wewurtskihit@hotmail.com<BR/><BR/>cheers<BR/>MAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-152264461129808248.post-33059414794116265702008-02-26T20:47:00.000-05:002008-02-26T20:47:00.000-05:00I'm glad that the birthday party was tolerable, an...I'm glad that the birthday party was tolerable, and even more happy to hear that things are moving along nicely with your surrogate!JW Moxiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16865232770753428076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-152264461129808248.post-70544551794988905162008-02-26T12:11:00.000-05:002008-02-26T12:11:00.000-05:00Congratulations on the meeting with your surrogate...Congratulations on the meeting with your surrogate.

It came full circle because I had hoped to be pregnant with their moms and now here they were celebrating their 1yr birthdays and nothing had changed for us. Just more pain.<BR/><BR/>I totally hear you on at least wanting to look nice and that giving you confidence. It's the one part of my femininity I can control. I would always make it a point to look nice when going to the doctor's office. I wanted them to know that I may be infertile, but I'm still hip and trendy and put together!<BR/><BR/>So glad to hear things are moving along with your surrogate!Becca Dawshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04926006658867203269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-152264461129808248.post-10941913272374991192008-02-25T17:17:00.000-05:002008-02-25T17:17:00.000-05:00I hear you on calming the mother down.

I always try to look especially nice at kiddie events -- sometimes I go so far as to get a Mystic Tan before a baby shower. : P <BR/><BR/>Congrats on the surrogate meeting! D. and I are good friends with a gay couple who are using a surrogate and on Friday they called me with very good news. I hope you'll have similar news in a few months.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
