3 fantastic birthdays...Jamie's good friend Bill, my "just like a dad" David, and then my 3rd surrogate baby Julianna aka sweet cheeks!! My due date was not until July 1st, but as always, God was looking after me and got her here early so that Byron could be with me. My water broke Wednesday morning at midnight and she was here by 1:30pm...7 lbs 2 oz, 19 3/4 " long and as beautiful as you can imagine. I'm not putting any pictures of her on the Internet...but I carry them with me and will be happy to show her off anytime:) It was a beautiful, amazing, wonderful experience as was my last surrogacy and I thank God for bringing this wonderful family into our lives!
Thank you to all of my family and friends who helped so much, especially while I was in the hospital. Being a surrogate mother is what I know God has called me to do and having the support of those closest to me means more than words can express. I also want to make it known that I have the greatest husband EVER. Byron, I would have been "fine" if she had been born while you were in CA, but the fact of the matter is, God knew I needed you. You are such a rock for me, my biggest support, and a FANTASTIC labor coach! Thank you so much for standing by me, allowing me to follow my heart, even though the calling was not something either one of us would have expected 8 years ago when we got married. You are an outstanding man and I am proud to be your wife!
