We met up with friends today who have just had their baby. It was so lovely to have a cuddle with him but surreal at the same time, as I just can’t imagine that in a few weeks, we will have our own little person (even though I am huge now so it’s definitely happening!). It did get me thinking though, even with the egg donation, this baby feels 100% mine, which I think is something I worried perhaps I wouldn’t feel when we started out on this path. Yes, the egg wasn’t from me, but ever since it was transferred into my body, my blood, my nutrients, my everything has fed that egg and grown our baby. So while he/she might not have my DNA, he/she will definitely be my child, grown in me, nurtured by me, created with Mr M.
