I told y’all I was going to give y’all the RAW & UNCUT! 🥹💕 This is my 3rd embryo transfer! 🤰🏾🙏🏾I didn’t post about my 2nd transfer because, honestly, I got discouraged after receiving another negative pregnancy test. 😣💔 I started feeling like I had failed, so I told myself I wasn’t going to post about my journey again until I actually became pregnant. 🥹But so many people still wanted to see my WHOLE process, the good, the bad, and the emotional moments. 😩🥹 And I had to remind myself that just because something didn’t go the way I prayed for doesn’t mean I FAILED! ❤️Now I’m becoming more comfortable with sharing my journey, and from here on out, I’ll be posting EVERYTHING, even if it’s not the news I want to hear! ‼️One thing I know for sure is I’M NOT GIVING UP ON THIS SURROGACY JOURNEY! 🤰🏾🙏🏾❤️ This is something I’ve ALWAYS wanted to do, and just look at me actually doing it! 🥹💕 No matter how many emotions come with this process, I’m proud of myself for continuing to push through.

My journey isn’t over, and neither is my story! 🥹🙏🏾💕
