February 2008, my decision is made

Ok I know I started this journey months ago, but I have been keeping a journal and now I decided to post it.

After alot of research, I have decided to become a Gestational Surrogate. Now all I have to do is tell my husband, Joe, and hope he supports me. Then I will need to find an agency.

Joe came home from work, I made him a great dinner, (to suck up of course..lol) and then I blurted it out.."honey I want to have babies for other people". OK I know I could have said it better, but it just came out that way. He looked at me like I was crazy and said "WHAT". So I explained everything to him, and how the babies would not be ours at all. Almost instantly he said "OK, whatever you want to do is fine with me". I let him know I would need him to support me and agree with this 100%. But he said "It's all you babe". NO! WRONG! Its US. We will be in this together. He understood. He called me his hero, he is so proud of me and he cant wait to tell everyone. I told him to hold off, I might get scared and back out, but I didn't!!
