I'm thinking about matching independently. How does one go about marketing/promoting their womb?
Time to do more research!

Back from a long break
Hi, all - remember me?
This summer was SO busy. I didn't even have a minute to sit back and think about the fact that I haven't been matched with intended parents yet.
Now that things have settled down, I have sought the support from fellow surrogates. They are all in shock that it's been 10 months and I haven't been matched. They have suggested I look into other agencies.
SO, that's what I'm doing. Researching and talking with other agencies. Wish me luck!

Hello again.
Hi guys - remember me? I'm back! The winter has been long so far. From November - January, I was completely booked with baking and now that we're into February, I am ordering my bees for the summer but will be keeping it low-key with only one hive (unless my other hives survived the polar vortex).
On to this whole surrogacy thing. I have been waiting...very patiently to have activity on my profile. I figure if it happens, great and if it doesn't then it wasn't meant to be.
A couple from another country checked out my profile last week and liked what they read but they have additional questions and concerns at this point so I have yet to see their profile. Things seem to be moving along...slowly but surely. I don't mind at all. The longer I wait, the older my kids get, resulting in a better understanding of the process.
I will keep you all updated in the next couple of weeks. For now, enjoy the double digits, MN!

No update
Hello,
I wish I had something more to write but the fact remains that I haven't seen another profile. I feel completely normal mentally - I don't feel anxious and most days, I don't even think about it. Every once in a while, I will remember or be reminded that I am a surrogate in waiting (at which point, I get super excited) but I typically just live my normal life.
I am constructing a 5-tier wedding cake next month and will be doing a test run in the next couple of weeks (so, if anyone wants cake...!). I will be baking 200 scones for a Christmas tea. And I will be baking 400 cake balls for a soft opening party.
Things like that keep me and my mind quite busy.
Hope to update you soon!

Changing weather
We received our first profile. It was a very exciting time for us (me especially). It really continues to amaze me - how quickly this whole process can happen.
We read through it multiple times and discussed a lot. We had conversations and meetings. We took the whole weekend to decide how we were going to proceed. When it came down to it, this profile just didn't seem perfect for us. We will patiently await other profiles. I really didn't think the first profile would be "the one" anyway.
On a side note, I am having a real itch to be pregnant again! It must be the time of year. The smell in the air. Trying to not let this cloud my judgement. I am so thankful to have Phil by my side - helping me along.
A second side note. Next spring, I am going to plant pumpkins. Once October hits, I'm going to have a fall festival with all the neighbor kids. I'm going to bake cupcake pies, there will be games, we will make caramel apples, and the kids will each get to pick a pumpkin from the garden and bring it home to carve.
It's always been a dream of mine to own a pumpkin patch - who says it can't be in a city backyard?!
Ciao!!!

Today
It's kind of funny how things work. Phil and I have been talking about this process for nearly two years. I started my blog a couple months ago and showed it to people who were interested in reading about my life.
Today. Today of all days. I decided today would be a good day to make it public. To post it on social media. To let all people read about this personal experience that our family is going through.
Today I received my first profile. A profile to look through. To look through to see if I would be interested in carrying someone's baby.
Today I am excited. Excited to go home and talk to Phil. Excited to leave the profile with him while I'm at a meeting at church. Excited to hear his thoughts when I get home.
Today.

"All we need..."
I got an email this morning saying the agency has all they need. Now, I continue to wait to be matched - I know the perfect Intended Parents are out there for me. I'm feeling excited!
