I thought I'd give an update if anyone is interested...
After much discussion we decided that now is not a good time (actually, it's probably the worst possible time) for us to have a baby so we feel that giving the baby up for adoption is our best option. I feel so great about this decision, like a million weights have lifted off my shoulders and I am now happy and excited about being pregnant. I know this is the right choice for us all around. I was planning on being a traditional surrogate-where my own egg is fertilized by the IF's sperm-so adoption really isn't all that different for me, it's just my boyfriend's bio child now. The wonderful couple I have been planning to be a surro for couldn't be more delighted to adopt our baby. We all feel that maybe this happened for a reason and it's the way it's suppose to be. I'm still telling people (except family) that I'm a surrogate though because I want more people to know about this wonderful journey.
So, that's where I'm at! And now I'm excited to be here with the rest of you!! (Oh, and we're planning a home birth with a midwife-one of the many reasons I love my IP's!)
