3 weeks PP on Sunday from twin surrogacy...
2 weeks! I'm feeling oddly enthusiastic and I can't quite pinpoint why, but I think it's likely got something to do with how amazing it feels to be capable of life again. It's hard to articulate, because I certainly cherish my time with the twins, but my exhausted body is finally capable of functioning beyond mere existence and even the simplest tasks are a little celebration of my regained independence.
That being said, I worried that once my mom left, and I was finally alone, I would feel exactly that, ALONE. Spoiler alert... I did.
As a surrogate, this is the feeling that everyone asks about in some capacity.
"Is it hard to give the baby up?"
Not in the way you're thinking.
For me, the hardest part is the transition from living your life with an acute awareness that every decision you make matters exponentially to a future person, a helpless person, who is relying on you, to being a self-motivated, self-centered normal autonomous human being again.
So I marinated on that a few days, and then I realized that being a normal person also has its perks, which are abundant coming off of a twin pregnancy. (I.e. Walking, and shoes, and pants, and turkey sandwiches).
So all is well, the world is my oyster, and at the end of the day, the babes are healthy and happy, and so shall I be!
So without further delay, here's my progress!
💙Birthday- 205 lbs
💙1 day PP- 184 lbs
💙5 days PP- 175 lbs
💙10 days PP-165 lbs
💙2 weeks PP- 160 lbs
❤️25 pounds to go!
