September is a lovely time of year


Neela still loves her human sibling Brynn...forever best buds. From the moments she used to bring my stomach dog toys while I was pregnant and on bedrest to the months afterwards...she is such a good doggie.


So yesterday I was talking to my friend and I said...so when do you think we should plan on moving forward with things. Hmmm she replied, "In the past, I think we've talked about September." "Yes, " I replied..."September would be a good time of year." That's in 6 short months. Gulp. We have a lot to do. I've never been more scared...but to be honest I've never been more excited. I can't think of a more wonderful person to be doing this with. My husband and I are so blessed. I just can't believe this is happening. And you want to know something else cool? I told my mom that we're doing this for sure...and she couldn't stop smiling. It seems like everyone is on board, I just can't believe it. In time I can tell the story of how this all came to be, if people are interested. As I said...sometimes it takes me awhile to talk about touchy subjects. Heck it took me 4 months to talk about Brynn's birth. I guess I go forward with my guard up. I'm not sure why.

But regardless...there's one thing I can't get over. Where do such amazing people come from? How or why have I been so blessed to stumble upon such a beautiful person such as my friend? Even more so, how is it that her husband happens to be not only okay with this all, but he also happens to be my husband's best friend as well. Sometimes the stars a line, the light shines brightly...and the world is a very good place indeed. How have we been so fortunate?

Just like the Miracle of Brynn's conception, your pregnancy, and her birth, the Stars align because it's what is Meant to Be!
Thank you for bringing a smile to my face with such a sweet post and great baby/puppy pictures.

I so happy everything is coming together for your next little miracle(s). :) That first pic of Brynn made me smile...she looks like she's riding a horse, the way she's hanging onto that bumbo! As always, Neela is AWESOME...love that dog!

Blessed, blessed, blessed. That's what you are with all you do and everything and everyone you touch. The other day I read your last post and my eyes brimmed with tears. I stopped in that very moment and thanked God for the miracle he worked with Brynn's delivery. I seriously got chills.

Your friend is an angel and you are too. I am so very excited for you. If you need ANY help at all with working out surrogacy-related details, PLEASE don't hesitate to ask!

I'm so, so happy for you. For your beautiful present with Brynn and for all that the future has in store for you.

What a god mother!

Brynn is lucky to have such a great big "sister" in Neela. I think that September is a fabulous month. I can't wait to hear all of the details. I am not 100% sure, but it sounds like you are considering surrogacy. I am in the beginning stages of attempting to become a gestational surrogate for a couple. It is such an exciting, but terrifying place to be. Good Luck!

Mary said...

That is so amazing, Sara. You are blessed with so many wonderful people in your life.

Yay, for September!

Stacie said...

What a sweet duo--Brynn and Neela! Cute, cute, cute.

Good luck in September! :-)

Thankful Terri said...

Wow -- that is great!!! -- I hope all works out for you and your family. It is amazing that people are willing to be this wonderful and helpful in your dreams/ and goals. Hmm September - means a June baby - that is nice..

Good luck and I hope it all works out.

I love the photos of those two how sweet. My dog wants to lick the baby all the time. The dog is funny when G cries - she runs into the other room. Doesn't want anything to do with her then.

You are an amazing person. You love who is in your life and they are in your life for a reason. I'm so excited for you and everyone else. You and your family deserve this. What an amazing friend you have, it just shows that you are an amazing friend, as well.

Thank you SO much for your comments on my situation with the OB. You always manage to put me at ease with your wise words...and for that I'm eternally greatful! Thanks again. *hugs*

Tracy said...

It's called Karma. You get back what you put out there and since you are such a beautiful person (couple), you get it back, sometimes tenfold. I am so glad the two of you have such wonderful friends. What a wonderful journey to share...

On My Mind 24/7 said...

Yes, you are very blessed. September will be here so quickly! Can't wait to hear all about it!

This is so exciting! God does answer prayers in big ways. This one is HUGE! Your friend and her husband are awesome.

I only hope my dog is 1/2 as good to our little one as Neela is to Brynn. Seriously, I'm so impressed!!
