Today the hubby, kids and I went to Kate and Nain's house! It was the first time they met Angelina and Alianna and our first time going to their home, which is absolutely beautiful!
We had a wonderful day there, we ordered pizza and just spent time chatting - the kids loved playing with their pug, Lucy! Then we went to a farm and had homemade ice cream - YUM! I wish today never ended!!
Nain was so helpful, even though I am sure it was hard for him, being on chemo and medications and dealing with cancer on a daily basis is no easy stroll, so I was amazed to see him hosting while we were at their house - he is just too good of a guy to sit down and let others take care of him all the time. And of course Kate was great! They're such wonderful people, I don't think I could be any more happier or more lucky to have found such amazing peope to experience this journey with - I sometimes wonder if I will have another "calling" to help another family... I had always told my hubby that if these Kate and Nain asked for a sibling project, I wouldn't think twice, but so much has changed and I don't know if they'll ever be ready to or be able to have a second journey.. and I truly and honestly don't think I could do this without THEM - they're what is making this journey so amazing - they're who makes me so proud to be a surrogate! I don't know, I guess only time will tell....
So, today was also a great day because I signed up to walk at a pancreatic cancer fundraiser on September 10th in Boston at the Franklin Park Zoo. All the proceeds we raise will benefit The Pancreatic Cancer Action Network.
TWO MORE WEEKS until our gender scan - I am so excited!! Do you think it will be a boy or a girl? Comment with your guess, I'd love to know what it is!!!
