A softer mother-in-law

Andrew and I are feeling alot better about his mother's acceptance of the journey we are on. Since returning from Delhi she was very positive when we told her we would find out around about 25th April if the surrogate mummies are pregnant. In fact she said to Andrew, "you are going to love being a parent" and then relayed her memory of when Andrew's Dad (sadly departed) first saw Andrew take his first steps. His Mum said that his Dad had a beaming smile and was so proud of his son. Wow this is a real turn around in her attitude. We hope her positivity continues and sincerely  hope that her attitude was not generated because she was happy we had saved her $500 by buying her 600 duty free cigarettes (sorry that sounds so cynical!!)

We are also thinking of our surro mummies and the incredible thing they are doing in carrying our embryos. We do hope Mrs C and Mrs S are keeping safe and well. I know that SCI will be looking after them.

  1. I'm so glad that your MIL is changing her attitude. Some people change a lot once they realise that you are following your path regardless of whether they join you or not. Good luck with the pg tests coming up!

  3. I am so happy that she is softening. Hopefully, she'll continue in that attitude no matter what happens along the way. Best wishes for that BFP in 2 weeks (or less)!
