Well, it looks like my sister is pregnant too! She is really excited....but this is not an ordinary pregnancy, per se....she is a surrogate for a couple who lives 1,000 miles away from her. She has gotten 2 faint positives and it is 9 days post-transfer. My family is not extremely supportive of her decision to do this, but I'm glad she's not letting that stop her. I think as long as her husband is okay with it and she feels like it is God's plan for her life, she should go for it....and she has! There's a good chance she is preggy w/ multiples, since they implanted 4 embryos. I'm not sure what the chances of all 4 embryos surviving is, but I know that twins are a definite possibility. She is doing this surrogacy practically for free because she feels deep in her heart that this is what she is meant to do. I admire her selflessness. I hope that her children, who are 5, 3, and 15 months are not negatively affected by all of this....but I'm sure that my sister has already thought and prayed about that. They are too young to really grasp what it means for mommy to carry someone else's baby, I think....but I hope it doesn't confuse them too much.
