Baby Fever

In an earlier post, I described my child birthing experience with my beautiful baby girl, Liberty Sarai.  The outcome of that birth has left me with all lady parts as side from the main component- Ms. Uterus.  The uterus is a VITAL part of carrying a baby but since that part is somewhere on an organ farm (lol), I am no longer able to carry/have children.  

With that being said,  I am having baby fever.  All the preggers walking around are super cute.  I am so happy for them and also a little jealous.  It was meant for me to experience what I did with Liberty but it still does not change the fact that I would like or want more children.  

We have weighed the options of adoption or finding a surrogate mother to carry our child.  I would love to have either or to obtain my child.  Adoption is a great option because it gives a baby/child to experience something that they may not have had with the birth family.  Its a long process but giving a child a home is the bottom line.  BUT I am leaving more towards surrogacy. 

Not to sound harsh, but I would love to have another little bugger like my husband and I.  When you think about it, it sounds feasible: find a woman that wants to help a family by being their oven.  The reality of the situation is asking a woman: to be implanted with another person's sperm and egg, to experience pregnancy (with the possibility of having ALL the usual symptoms related to being pregnant), and the end result is not having anything to show for the long experience except a feeling of helping others.  Its a long shot for us.  It is VERY expensive to have a random surrogate to do the job because the of hospital bills, check ups, ultra sounds, etc.

Maybe one day we will have another bundle, but until then Liberty Sarai will be the lone, spoiled, not-brat-like munchkin.
