Because I know that there's a lot 89 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:41,760 Speaker 1: of people that listen to this podcast that are going 90 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,720 Speaker 1: through similar things or have one through similar things, And 91 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:46,919 Speaker 1: a lot of our listeners have been so awesome in 92 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,599 Speaker 1: terms of reaching out DM wise of like books for 93 00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:52,800 Speaker 1: me to read, you know, when I hadn't divulged that 94 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:56,480 Speaker 1: we were actually pregnant and so forth. So you know, 95 00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,599 Speaker 1: we have been pretty candid on this podcast, which I 96 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:03,080 Speaker 1: have a appreciated, just about my journey and the struggle 97 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:06,320 Speaker 1: I did nine years of IVF. Like you know, was 98 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:08,880 Speaker 1: trying really really hard. You and I have talked about 99 00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:12,200 Speaker 1: it about trying to get eggs. I just couldn't produce eggs. Yes, 100 00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:14,160 Speaker 1: did my age have a lot to do with it, sure, 101 00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:16,960 Speaker 1: But also I was dealing with you know, cervical cancer, 102 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:20,560 Speaker 1: and sometimes you know, your body just doesn't really do 103 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,599 Speaker 1: a great job with producing these eggs, and that was me. So, 104 00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,120 Speaker 1: you know, we would get so long in the process 105 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,520 Speaker 1: and you would just get one egg. Sometimes sometimes you 106 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,080 Speaker 1: would get eleven. Sometimes you would get too well. Then 107 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:33,960 Speaker 1: you want to mix in your husband's sperm and make embryos, 108 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:36,120 Speaker 1: and you're waiting, you're weight and you're waiting, and then 109 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:38,480 Speaker 1: you don't have any and you just feel I And 110 00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:41,839 Speaker 1: so I ended up having to do IVF. I did 111 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:45,239 Speaker 1: nine or I did eight rounds of IVF. And don't 112 00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:48,840 Speaker 1: you always feel like CHRISA Like every vacation I was on, 113 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,600 Speaker 1: every event I had to go to, I was shooting up, 114 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:53,880 Speaker 1: like I feel it. I so many of our vacations 115 00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:57,479 Speaker 1: were affected by my freaking IVF. This was like my 116 00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:00,960 Speaker 1: first summer I didn't have to. We were in Montana, 117 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:03,560 Speaker 1: I you know, Kelly and Matthew wanted to stay longer, 118 00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 1: and I was like, I have to go home because 119 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,480 Speaker 1: I have to go get you know, I an ultrasound. 120 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,400 Speaker 1: Like everything I was doing for the last nine years 121 00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:15,760 Speaker 1: was affected by IVF. And it sucks because there's no 122 00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 1: like rhyme or reason, there's no right timing. You just 123 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:20,720 Speaker 1: it's like you don't even know when your right time 124 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:23,240 Speaker 1: is going to be it to crapshoot. And by that 125 00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,880 Speaker 1: it's also the phone calls and the different things that 126 00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:28,359 Speaker 1: you're doing while you're trying to do your job, or 127 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 1: even the medical stuff that you had to go through 128 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:34,640 Speaker 1: and wearing you know, unfortunately, like certain things in your 129 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:38,080 Speaker 1: clothing because you had to have an operation, and reporting 130 00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:42,040 Speaker 1: on Packers Cowboys coming up in America's Game of the Week. 131 00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:46,279 Speaker 1: Like there's so much that little game. Yeah, exactly. But 132 00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:50,000 Speaker 1: that's to me, which is why when when you know 133 00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:52,479 Speaker 1: when you which will get to in a second, like 134 00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:55,920 Speaker 1: told me that this embryo took, and it's just like 135 00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:59,040 Speaker 1: it's so incredible. Okay, So starting at the very beginning, 136 00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:03,400 Speaker 1: you had how many embryos left, like how many like 137 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:05,760 Speaker 1: did you know that you could like try to get 138 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:09,640 Speaker 1: pregnant with. So we didn't have many at all, as 139 00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:12,440 Speaker 1: my doctor would say, less than a starting lineup. That's 140 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:14,800 Speaker 1: one thing I loved about my fertility doctor so much 141 00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:17,200 Speaker 1: is that he knew for me my way to kind 142 00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:20,920 Speaker 1: of cope with things is sports. And so I would 143 00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:22,800 Speaker 1: be like, all right, what are we looking at follicle wise? 144 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:24,880 Speaker 1: And you've got you have enough for a starting lineup. 145 00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:27,320 Speaker 1: You know, this one could be your point guard, this 146 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:29,560 Speaker 1: one could be your starting quarterback, like things like that, 147 00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:31,680 Speaker 1: to tell me the strength of the embryos and all 148 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:34,320 Speaker 1: that stuff. So less than a handful, less than a 149 00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:38,320 Speaker 1: starting lineup, which isn't great. And then we started realizing, 150 00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:41,120 Speaker 1: you know, I, when I was diagnosed with cervical cancer, 151 00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:46,840 Speaker 1: I should have gotten a second opinion. I didn't. I 152 00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,520 Speaker 1: went to the first doctor that told me that she 153 00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:53,360 Speaker 1: could get this out, and she didn't, and she packed 154 00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:56,280 Speaker 1: me open and I lost more of my cervix than 155 00:07:56,400 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 1: was necessary. But unfortunately the cancer went past the march, 156 00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:03,240 Speaker 1: so I had to have another surgery, and at that point, 157 00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:06,400 Speaker 1: holding a baby was just not going to happen. Literally, 158 00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:09,280 Speaker 1: we went to when we were like, okay, am I 159 00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:11,680 Speaker 1: going to try to get pregnant now? After cervical cancer. 160 00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:14,360 Speaker 1: We went to a lot of doctors that gave me 161 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:16,880 Speaker 1: advice about if I did go into labor while and 162 00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:18,840 Speaker 1: work in a Green Bay game, or if I did 163 00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,680 Speaker 1: go into labor while I'm working a Patriots game, I 164 00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:23,760 Speaker 1: have to stay in New England. I have to stay 165 00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:25,800 Speaker 1: in Green Bay for the rest of my pregnancy, like 166 00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:29,240 Speaker 1: I cannot move. They even talked about like potentially stitching 167 00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:32,240 Speaker 1: me up so my cervix could hold it, but unfortunately 168 00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:35,240 Speaker 1: we made the decision there just wasn't enough there to 169 00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:38,400 Speaker 1: actually carry a baby, and which was really hard, it 170 00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:44,160 Speaker 1: was really hard to hear that. But COVID Easter, we 171 00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:46,440 Speaker 1: were in our house and we're normally at our friend's 172 00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:49,360 Speaker 1: house who has kids, Jackie Quick. We're usually there, and 173 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:52,000 Speaker 1: we're usually with everybody who has kids, and we're just 174 00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:54,960 Speaker 1: here by ourselves, and we're like, this sucks, Like this 175 00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:57,760 Speaker 1: just sucks. This is I mean, my husband's great, we 176 00:08:57,800 --> 00:08:59,760 Speaker 1: love each other, but we're like what are we doing? 177 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:03,160 Speaker 1: So it wasn't really until that Easter because we were 178 00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:05,080 Speaker 1: kind of like, well, maybe I will get pregnant, maybe 179 00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:07,000 Speaker 1: I won't go into labor, and maybe it was just 180 00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,880 Speaker 1: like this isn't working. I'm not getting pregnant. They don't 181 00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:13,240 Speaker 1: want to use the embryos on me because I don't 182 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:17,320 Speaker 1: have very many and the potent may I'm older, the 183 00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:19,680 Speaker 1: stats are up against me, the numbers are up against me. 184 00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:23,800 Speaker 1: I probably will lose the embryos. So you know, finally 185 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,119 Speaker 1: we were like, let's just try. Let's look into saragacy. 186 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:27,959 Speaker 1: Let's see what we can find out and let's see 187 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:35,920 Speaker 1: if it's even for us. So probably twenty twenty one, 188 00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:39,319 Speaker 1: we really looked into it and we finally found someone. 189 00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:44,040 Speaker 1: And this is a really difficult process. It's it's mentally exhausting. 190 00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:48,760 Speaker 1: You literally are. You go to an agency, they look 191 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:53,200 Speaker 1: for candidates. Then they send you profiles or resumes of 192 00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:56,400 Speaker 1: different surrogates and maybe sarrogate of her and her husband, 193 00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:57,960 Speaker 1: and you kind of read it. You read it all 194 00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:00,320 Speaker 1: read all about their life, and you feel feel like 195 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:02,520 Speaker 1: you really think that they're a good match. You could say, 196 00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:05,280 Speaker 1: I'd like to meet them. Then they read my story 197 00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:08,080 Speaker 1: and they read Jarrett's story of why we need saragacy 198 00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:10,640 Speaker 1: and why we're looking to go this avenue. Then you 199 00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:13,160 Speaker 1: get on a zoom because nobody does anything in person 200 00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:16,280 Speaker 1: anymore because of COVID, And you meet them and you 201 00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:18,320 Speaker 1: talk to them and you end up crying and you 202 00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:20,520 Speaker 1: end up saying, you know, thank you so much. This 203 00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:22,679 Speaker 1: would mean the world to me for you to you know, 204 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:24,480 Speaker 1: be able to have my baby, and this is what 205 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:27,119 Speaker 1: we've gone through as a family. It's a lot, it's exhausting. 206 00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:30,719 Speaker 1: Then from there you have to get legal involved and 207 00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:33,320 Speaker 1: they check them out and then you end up, you know, 208 00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:36,520 Speaker 1: having them looked at. So we went through that with many, 209 00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:40,920 Speaker 1: many different women. And my doctor was so so particular 210 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:44,280 Speaker 1: and sensitive about who he chose as a surrogate because 211 00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:46,719 Speaker 1: I didn't have many, so we'd get so close and 212 00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:48,760 Speaker 1: if they had one little thing wrong with them, he 213 00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:51,720 Speaker 1: was like, oh my god, I can't I can't do this. 214 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:55,720 Speaker 1: In twenty twenty one, we found a lovely, lovely woman. 215 00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:58,559 Speaker 1: We loved her so much. We adored her family, huge 216 00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:02,000 Speaker 1: hockey fans. They were just perfect. They were absolutely adorable. 217 00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:04,480 Speaker 1: They were right up the road. It was perfect. We 218 00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:09,440 Speaker 1: went into this very we just we didn't really know 219 00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:11,480 Speaker 1: the risk of it all. We thought it was going 220 00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:14,640 Speaker 1: to be so so easy to do, and we ended 221 00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:19,520 Speaker 1: up putting two embryos in and we lost them both 222 00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:25,040 Speaker 1: and that was so hard. And that was actually a 223 00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:28,640 Speaker 1: podcast we did and we didn't say what it was 224 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:31,280 Speaker 1: and I was just sobbing. I think you were in 225 00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:35,200 Speaker 1: Lake Tahoe and I called you no Lake errolhead, sorry, 226 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:40,040 Speaker 1: but I had the text because because we knew like 227 00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:44,280 Speaker 1: you had you know, these embryo, like the transfer it happened, 228 00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:46,880 Speaker 1: and just waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting for 229 00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:49,280 Speaker 1: the news. And then I'll never forget that text that 230 00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:52,160 Speaker 1: I got from you where you're like neither of them were, 231 00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:54,920 Speaker 1: and I just my heart like I'll like cry thinking 232 00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:58,400 Speaker 1: about it, because you know, these are it's their goal, 233 00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:00,000 Speaker 1: like these are like when you only have a few. 234 00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:03,240 Speaker 1: And then just like my heart like broke for you 235 00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:06,760 Speaker 1: in that moment. And we, like I said, we went 236 00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:09,400 Speaker 1: into it so blind. We kind of just thought, well, like, well, 237 00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:11,520 Speaker 1: well let's get it over with, let's have twins, like 238 00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:13,520 Speaker 1: it'll be like really quick and then we'll be done, 239 00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:15,400 Speaker 1: or if one doesn't take, we'll have the other. And 240 00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:17,240 Speaker 1: we kind of just thought that's how it went. And 241 00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:20,480 Speaker 1: so that was a really hard go for me. Jarrett 242 00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:23,080 Speaker 1: was so good because he kind of like mourned and 243 00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:26,240 Speaker 1: grieved right away. I remember he went upstairs and just 244 00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:28,319 Speaker 1: laid in our bed with our dog and just balled 245 00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:30,400 Speaker 1: his brains out. And I just kept thinking, Okay, we 246 00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:32,080 Speaker 1: have to get past this. We have to get because 247 00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:34,400 Speaker 1: that's just how I am. That's how I am with 248 00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:37,280 Speaker 1: like everything. Let's just hey, let's talk about the jets 249 00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:38,880 Speaker 1: on hard knocks, what's going on? You know, I just 250 00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:42,200 Speaker 1: don't want to get deeper, and I got really fucked up. 251 00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:45,560 Speaker 1: I don't know if you remember. I was just not right. 252 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,640 Speaker 1: I just couldn't communicate my feelings about it. I think 253 00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:50,880 Speaker 1: I was scared to move forward. What does this mean 254 00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:53,280 Speaker 1: if I we just lost these two, we don't have 255 00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:56,200 Speaker 1: much left? What if we don't have success? We're now 256 00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:58,240 Speaker 1: going to have to find a different person. This is 257 00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:00,920 Speaker 1: all like crazy And I ended up having to get 258 00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:03,120 Speaker 1: some help because it was actually, I know I've told 259 00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:06,120 Speaker 1: you this, having a hard time like forming sentences. I 260 00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,680 Speaker 1: just was like missing words more so than usual. You know, 261 00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:12,560 Speaker 1: I'm good for that, but it made me kind of 262 00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:15,040 Speaker 1: deal with a lot. It was hard. It was really hard. 263 00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:16,920 Speaker 1: But I think the biggest thing it made me do 264 00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:21,199 Speaker 1: was start talking to you guys about it all more 265 00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:24,800 Speaker 1: because you're you're a tough cookie like you. Let us 266 00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:27,920 Speaker 1: in us is the proverbial. You know, your friend group, 267 00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:32,080 Speaker 1: your family, like we we know when and when you 268 00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:34,240 Speaker 1: don't want to open up about stuff, and it's like 269 00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:35,880 Speaker 1: it's hard because you don't want to press someone. But 270 00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:37,880 Speaker 1: when you love someone so much and you care about 271 00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:39,839 Speaker 1: them and you know, you know, you just want to 272 00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:42,000 Speaker 1: do anything that you can for them, so that's even 273 00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:45,360 Speaker 1: more of a reason why with your baby boy. Have 274 00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:51,200 Speaker 1: you said his name? Mat, I'm here, Maggaroni man, tell everyone, 275 00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:56,000 Speaker 1: tell his full name. It's Mac Roger for my grandpa 276 00:13:56,120 --> 00:14:01,640 Speaker 1: who loves sports so much Stole. So now all the 277 00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:04,240 Speaker 1: more reason why Mac being here and again and we'll 278 00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:07,640 Speaker 1: get into that other stuff of like the Megan Mitchell 279 00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:10,960 Speaker 1: story of like they choose you and like everything happens 280 00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:12,559 Speaker 1: for a reason, and like we've got a lot of 281 00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:15,360 Speaker 1: years something about that dinner at pawn shows at another night. Yeah, 282 00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:19,520 Speaker 1: they've run for episode two of this story because it's 283 00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:23,400 Speaker 1: so it's just so special. So as on the side 284 00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:26,480 Speaker 1: of heartbreak is the side of joy. So now being 285 00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:28,600 Speaker 1: able to sit here and go back on this journey 286 00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:31,760 Speaker 1: with you and really like think about how long it's 287 00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:33,800 Speaker 1: been for you, it's a testament to who you are. 288 00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:35,560 Speaker 1: And I know I've said this to you, whether it's 289 00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:38,520 Speaker 1: you know, at our pseudo baby shower, which I made 290 00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:41,040 Speaker 1: you have because you reluctantly didn't want to have that 291 00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:43,040 Speaker 1: and I respect that, but because you don't want the 292 00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:45,400 Speaker 1: attention to ever be on you. But you have worked 293 00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:48,480 Speaker 1: so hard and this baby boy is here because you 294 00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:50,880 Speaker 1: and Jarrett didn't give up, and that would be the 295 00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:53,040 Speaker 1: message I think, and I would hope that people like 296 00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:56,640 Speaker 1: you know there's always another option, even if it wasn't 297 00:14:56,640 --> 00:15:09,560 Speaker 1: your first choice. So after all of that happens, then 298 00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:12,040 Speaker 1: for you sort of what that next step was and 299 00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:14,080 Speaker 1: how you kept going even if it was so hard 300 00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:17,960 Speaker 1: dealing with myself talking about it with you guys was 301 00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,640 Speaker 1: a big one for me, you know, Like you said, 302 00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:23,760 Speaker 1: this led us to something and even greater. We then 303 00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:27,200 Speaker 1: found our kind of angel, one of our angels. Her 304 00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:30,960 Speaker 1: name is Stephanie Levitt. She actually runs family Match consulting 305 00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:34,320 Speaker 1: and her story is incredible and she's just an awesome person. 306 00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:37,400 Speaker 1: I love her so much. And she led us to 307 00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:41,000 Speaker 1: our surrogate. That wasn't easy though either. We had actually 308 00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:43,240 Speaker 1: a couple other people that we had interviewed. We got 309 00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:45,240 Speaker 1: really close with another girl that we thought we were 310 00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:47,960 Speaker 1: actually going to do it with the transfer with, and 311 00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:51,200 Speaker 1: that didn't work out obviously for all reasons that you know. 312 00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:54,320 Speaker 1: We're fabulous on the other end, but very hard at 313 00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:59,600 Speaker 1: the time. And Steph made this whole process just a 314 00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:03,160 Speaker 1: wonder full experience how it should be, and she led 315 00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:06,920 Speaker 1: us to our girl and our family, and I'm trying 316 00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:10,520 Speaker 1: to think. I think it was last summer maybe that 317 00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:12,440 Speaker 1: we met her. I think it was. I think it 318 00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:16,680 Speaker 1: was maybe like gosh, like May or June that we 319 00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:21,080 Speaker 1: met her. And yeah, we met her, and we did 320 00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:23,320 Speaker 1: a zoom with them, and we thought that they were lovely. 321 00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:25,000 Speaker 1: But it's kind of like this is like your sixth 322 00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:27,320 Speaker 1: or seventh interview with a surrogate. You know, you're like, 323 00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:30,080 Speaker 1: all right, let me cry and tell you my story again, Hello, 324 00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:33,160 Speaker 1: how are you? But you know, they were great. We 325 00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:35,520 Speaker 1: met him a few times for lunch and everything, and 326 00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:38,160 Speaker 1: then when she checked out medically and everything was good. 327 00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:40,520 Speaker 1: I was telling this story the other day. Obviously I'm 328 00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:43,560 Speaker 1: a person that can block my feelings, my emotions hide 329 00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:46,440 Speaker 1: behind sports. Not the healthiest thing to do. But I 330 00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:50,040 Speaker 1: was working a forty nine ers game in I think 331 00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:52,440 Speaker 1: it was probably like October, maybe the end of September, 332 00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:56,000 Speaker 1: right before the transfer, and I just blocked it all out, 333 00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:57,920 Speaker 1: blocked it all out, and then got on the plane 334 00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:01,200 Speaker 1: to go take off back to LA and I knew, 335 00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:04,040 Speaker 1: oh no, no, that wasn't even the transfer. The transfer 336 00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:06,359 Speaker 1: that was to find out if she was pregnant. So 337 00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:10,080 Speaker 1: on this Sunday, I'm flying home and I just was 338 00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:12,160 Speaker 1: looking out the window and I just started bawling because 339 00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:15,920 Speaker 1: I'm like, shit, this is happening tomorrow. We were texting. 340 00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:18,280 Speaker 1: I think I was like, I'm having a panic attack, 341 00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:21,240 Speaker 1: and I was like yeah. And then I was also 342 00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:23,000 Speaker 1: grateful that you were only on a forty five minute 343 00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:24,639 Speaker 1: flight because I was like, I need you on the ground. 344 00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:27,400 Speaker 1: I need you because I don't need you cross country 345 00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:29,879 Speaker 1: and then you checking out on me, and all of 346 00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:31,639 Speaker 1: a sudden, I'm like I can't get to you.

Well, first of all leading up to that. 354 00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:56,399 Speaker 1: After the transfer, it takes about ten to twelve days 355 00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:59,439 Speaker 1: to figure out if they're pregnant. So my girlfriend Chrissa 356 00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:03,480 Speaker 1: Thompson and Kelly Stafford girlfriends drop off this huge care 357 00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:06,520 Speaker 1: package to my house and was basically the twelve days 358 00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:09,680 Speaker 1: of waiting to see if you're pregnant, and each day 359 00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:13,040 Speaker 1: had a note and a different gift.

He's like, 541 00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:13,160 Speaker 1: can we toast our kid? Like really, so you know, 542 00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:15,600 Speaker 1: it's like I was like trying to cram in a 543 00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:20,040 Speaker 1: football season and then deal with you know this, you know, pregnancy, 544 00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:22,439 Speaker 1: But it did seem fast, I think looking back at 545 00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:27,520 Speaker 1: it now, she was everything is everything that we and 546 00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:32,120 Speaker 1: anyone could ever want. A surrogate, super calm, super chill, 547 00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:35,880 Speaker 1: the opposite of real mama, so positive, maybe the opposite 548 00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:38,680 Speaker 1: of real mom. No, I'm kidding. She's a mom already. 549 00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:40,960 Speaker 1: She has two kids of her own, she has four 550 00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:45,639 Speaker 1: kids total, but she also has her husband. She is 551 00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:48,520 Speaker 1: a great wife, she's a great friend. So she's like 552 00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:51,560 Speaker 1: everything we wanted in a sarrogate. And then that even 553 00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:54,719 Speaker 1: like culminated in the delivery, Like we'll get to that. 554 00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:58,000 Speaker 1: But she was such a freakin' baller through that. So 555 00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:02,200 Speaker 1: she's amazing. She's everything I'm not in terms of being calm, 556 00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:06,600 Speaker 1: so chill. She knew she had done Sarahenacy before, she's 557 00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:09,280 Speaker 1: a mom. She just kind of really led us through it, 558 00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:12,360 Speaker 1: held our hand, which was incredible. Also a sports fan, 559 00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:15,359 Speaker 1: here's a fun one. When I had my playoff games, 560 00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:17,360 Speaker 1: she would turn the TV up so he could hear 561 00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:19,880 Speaker 1: my voice. No, they did the same thing for Jarrett 562 00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:22,560 Speaker 1: when Jarrett was on TV so he could hear Jarrett. 563 00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:25,159 Speaker 1: So yeah, they just got it and they really just 564 00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:28,439 Speaker 1: guided us through this whole thing. It was awesome. That 565 00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:32,160 Speaker 1: is so special because we talked about this. There are 566 00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:36,880 Speaker 1: not enough words to describe the self angels of the service. Yes, 567 00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:40,800 Speaker 1: I don't even and I would love I mean I 568 00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:43,560 Speaker 1: know that of course, the anonymity and rightfully so whatever, 569 00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:46,200 Speaker 1: but like I just want to do like a whole 570 00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:51,040 Speaker 1: like conversation with like how and why and all the things. 571 00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:54,440 Speaker 1: And obviously you know, let's talk Arrious on the podcast 572 00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:57,200 Speaker 1: one time. Let's bring her in. Yeah we should, we 573 00:28:57,240 --> 00:29:00,120 Speaker 1: definitely should, but like, wow, what an incredible person to 574 00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:02,800 Speaker 1: do that. I mean that is like the ultimate act. 575 00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:06,000 Speaker 1: So that's so and so thoughtful. Like oh, you know 576 00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:08,080 Speaker 1: because again we hear all the time like babies, and 577 00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:10,520 Speaker 1: the woman can like hear music, and so for her 578 00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:14,200 Speaker 1: to turn up your voice, that's so sweet. I know, sweet, 579 00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:16,239 Speaker 1: she's the best. She was the best. And like you know, 580 00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:19,000 Speaker 1: just to fast forward to delivery and all that stuff, 581 00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:22,600 Speaker 1: that's where you know, we had a great relationship with them. 582 00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:24,640 Speaker 1: We'd go meet them, we'd text them, we were on 583 00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:27,480 Speaker 1: a family text chain with them everything like that. But 584 00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:32,240 Speaker 1: it wasn't until the delivery that it was like, wow, 585 00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:35,560 Speaker 1: I mean she just I mean it just the relationship 586 00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:39,560 Speaker 1: just moved to a whole different place. And we had 587 00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:41,880 Speaker 1: a little bit of like kind of an emergency in 588 00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:46,040 Speaker 1: the delivery room. Nothing major. She just dilated really really fast. 589 00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:49,840 Speaker 1: He dropped. They wanted to, you know, kind of get 590 00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:53,000 Speaker 1: his heartbeat like back chill like. They didn't lose his heartbeat, 591 00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:54,760 Speaker 1: but they wanted to get him ready for delivery, and 592 00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:56,760 Speaker 1: that's stressful for the baby when they're going through the 593 00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:59,560 Speaker 1: birth canal. All the things we talked about it countless 594 00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:01,440 Speaker 1: number of time am I going to be in there? 595 00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:03,480 Speaker 1: Am I going to watch? What? Am I going to do? 596 00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:05,840 Speaker 1: I don't know. We have a good friend that just 597 00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:09,360 Speaker 1: went through Sarahgacy. He and his wife were so lovely 598 00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:11,680 Speaker 1: to me to tell me what they did, and that 599 00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:15,440 Speaker 1: really helped a lot. But once again my sarrogate. She 600 00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:18,360 Speaker 1: guided us through this with her husband as well, and 601 00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:20,480 Speaker 1: we kind of walked in and they were working on 602 00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:23,720 Speaker 1: getting the baby calmed down before delivery. They also wanted 603 00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:26,080 Speaker 1: to get her doctor in there in time because the 604 00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:28,360 Speaker 1: doctor had left. Nobody thought she was going to give 605 00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:33,000 Speaker 1: birth that quickly, and she, you know, everybody's kind of yelling, 606 00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:34,960 Speaker 1: and I'm up against the wall and I'm like, oh god, 607 00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:36,800 Speaker 1: what's happening. And I said to Jared should we be here? 608 00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:38,840 Speaker 1: Should we be here? Should we be here? And He's like, 609 00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:41,760 Speaker 1: we're fine, We're fine. But I had my head facing 610 00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:43,400 Speaker 1: the wall because I didn't want to be in the 611 00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:45,240 Speaker 1: way of the doctors and the nurses and a lot 612 00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:47,800 Speaker 1: was happening. They were trying to stabilize a lot of things, 613 00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:51,600 Speaker 1: and Jarrett was seeing a lot of stuff. So then 614 00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:54,240 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, a nurse grabbed me and said, 615 00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:56,440 Speaker 1: she wants to hold your hand. She wants to hold 616 00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:57,680 Speaker 1: your hand. And I was like, I don't want to 617 00:30:57,680 --> 00:30:59,360 Speaker 1: get in the way, and she's like, go be with her. 618 00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:05,680 Speaker 1: They grab me. I walk around and it's the most 619 00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:07,840 Speaker 1: unbelievable thing, and then I'm like, Jared, Jarreed, come be 620 00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:11,600 Speaker 1: with me. She grabs my hand. Chrissa and this woman 621 00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:14,800 Speaker 1: like like she's giving birth. I look at her, she's 622 00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:18,440 Speaker 1: her baby tear just coming down her eye one tier. 623 00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:23,959 Speaker 1: She's like just an angel, a machine just crushing. And 624 00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:26,120 Speaker 1: at that moment, Jarrett and I turned into like the 625 00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:28,880 Speaker 1: biggest sports fan, and we're like, come on, you can 626 00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:32,440 Speaker 1: do it, like you got this girl.

And then we we 651 00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:40,360 Speaker 1: had a moment when we said goodbye to her in 652 00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:42,920 Speaker 1: the hospital the next day and she came in to 653 00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:44,720 Speaker 1: say goodbye and all her family was with her and 654 00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:47,040 Speaker 1: that was really emotional and like she said bye to 655 00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:49,840 Speaker 1: Mac and Jarret closed the door and he walked back 656 00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:51,800 Speaker 1: into the hospital room and he was just crying, and 657 00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:54,160 Speaker 1: I was like, what's happening, and he goes, that's it, 658 00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:56,280 Speaker 1: Like it's just she did so much and that's it, 659 00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:59,000 Speaker 1: Like that's not it. She's a part of our family forever, 660 00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:02,360 Speaker 1: Like that's not it. But yeah, it's really cool. That 661 00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:06,040 Speaker 1: whole thing is like another level. I remember you just 662 00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:09,360 Speaker 1: said that, you know, you know who you're talking about 663 00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:13,400 Speaker 1: who helped you sort of from that outside perspective of 664 00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:16,120 Speaker 1: what to expect. So if you could give anybody advice, 665 00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:19,840 Speaker 1: I know it's so fresh because baby bears like brand new. 666 00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:24,440 Speaker 1: What advice do you have or mothers that are on 667 00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:26,840 Speaker 1: the other side of you know, waiting for their surrogate 668 00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:29,080 Speaker 1: or just sort of like what kind of wisdom can 669 00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:31,520 Speaker 1: you now bestow upon someone that might be listening that's 670 00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:33,920 Speaker 1: like hasn't had their baby yet or is thinking about 671 00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:37,840 Speaker 1: this sort of your big takeaways on the chapters of 672 00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:40,520 Speaker 1: surrogacy and sort of what you've learned throughout this like 673 00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:43,760 Speaker 1: incredible process. It's a lot, It's so much to take 674 00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:49,360 Speaker 1: in mentally, and I would recommend being with a great 675 00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:55,640 Speaker 1: group that like our Family Match Consulting are our woman Stephanie, 676 00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:58,280 Speaker 1: who matched this with this arrogacy. No text was too 677 00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:01,080 Speaker 1: late or too early in the morning, no text was stupid, 678 00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:04,280 Speaker 1: no question was ever you know dumb or you know, 679 00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:08,480 Speaker 1: I know that's redundant, but she just she literally held 680 00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:10,759 Speaker 1: our hand through it. She also got to know us, 681 00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:13,200 Speaker 1: so she knew who to place us with, who to 682 00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:16,560 Speaker 1: match us with, and that was really helpful, especially when 683 00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:18,960 Speaker 1: you know you even get like what you're packing when 684 00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:20,640 Speaker 1: you're going to the hospital, like I don't know what 685 00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:23,319 Speaker 1: I'm bringing, you know, like all those things. So I 686 00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:26,839 Speaker 1: would say that was the number one thing for us 687 00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:29,880 Speaker 1: Family Match Consulting. This is not an ad. I can't 688 00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:32,480 Speaker 1: hype her up enough you need someone that you really 689 00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:36,440 Speaker 1: trust because it is a whole new territory we had 690 00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:38,319 Speaker 1: never been a part of before. You have a ton 691 00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:40,760 Speaker 1: of questions. You have people in your life asking you questions, 692 00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:43,200 Speaker 1: so you want to get those answered. And that was big. 693 00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:46,960 Speaker 1: And another thing, you know, Stephanie really guided us on 694 00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:52,440 Speaker 1: is the fin The financial burden of this whole thing 695 00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:55,319 Speaker 1: is incredible. It costs a lot of money to do this. 696 00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:57,840 Speaker 1: And it really got me to thinking. And I know 697 00:34:57,920 --> 00:34:59,920 Speaker 1: I talked to you a lot about it, is that 698 00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:04,200 Speaker 1: it is for me. I did this because I was 699 00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:06,239 Speaker 1: not able to carry a baby. That was just not 700 00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:08,640 Speaker 1: our option. It wasn't a luxury thing. It's not because 701 00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:10,719 Speaker 1: I didn't want to be pregnant on the sidelines. I 702 00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:12,719 Speaker 1: would have loved to have been pregnant on the sidelines. 703 00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:14,279 Speaker 1: I think the guys would have gotten a kick out 704 00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:15,719 Speaker 1: of it. I'll tell you one of those guys, and 705 00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:18,000 Speaker 1: I'm gonna remind you because he I'll tell you. I'll 706 00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:22,240 Speaker 1: tell you after it. But okay, who So I told 707 00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:25,000 Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey when I saw him at the charity event 708 00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:27,879 Speaker 1: that you know these and I hope you don't care, 709 00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:31,719 Speaker 1: but he's sending me a little care, I know, but 710 00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:34,800 Speaker 1: like I told him because he said, you a badass 711 00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:41,200 Speaker 1: like baby Louis Vauton like things. But he was so excited. 712 00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:44,960 Speaker 1: It was the same reaction that Terry Bradshaw gave when 713 00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:48,680 Speaker 1: you showed Terry the ultrasound picture when we were in 714 00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:52,120 Speaker 1: Las Vegas and the guy's face, and I like, that's why, 715 00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:55,160 Speaker 1: like I just I'm so excited, like for so many reasons. 716 00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:58,400 Speaker 1: But yeah, so Travis like, oh my god, that's like 717 00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:01,879 Speaker 1: just so excited for you because you have you are 718 00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:04,680 Speaker 1: the sister to so many of these guys, you know, 719 00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:06,600 Speaker 1: and like they're the big brothers, and now like Mac 720 00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:10,000 Speaker 1: has so many big brothers, so it's really really special. 721 00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:12,600 Speaker 1: I think that's the part that's tearing me up because 722 00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:14,680 Speaker 1: I like, I've talked about all this stuff, but like 723 00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:16,680 Speaker 1: I haven't talked to the boys. Yeah, you know, and 724 00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:18,880 Speaker 1: like Brian Davill texted me the other day and he 725 00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:20,560 Speaker 1: read it and he's like, I'm so happy, and it 726 00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:25,040 Speaker 1: was just like those boys know you like right that, Yeah, yeah, yeah, 727 00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:27,759 Speaker 1: you're the I mean the journey and the hours and 728 00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:31,399 Speaker 1: you have spent so much of your life not being 729 00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:34,080 Speaker 1: able to start your own family or or starting it 730 00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:37,160 Speaker 1: later in your life because your life has been your 731 00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:40,120 Speaker 1: professional career. Yeah, but that has been your family, right, 732 00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:41,960 Speaker 1: And I feel the same way. I sit here and yeah, 733 00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:44,520 Speaker 1: I don't have kids, and like so many those are 734 00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:47,680 Speaker 1: that's our family. That's our family exactly. So it's just 735 00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:51,600 Speaker 1: like becomes this extended group that just is so excited 736 00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:54,719 Speaker 1: for you. And I know that what you want is 737 00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:57,279 Speaker 1: other people to be able to have the same opportunity 738 00:36:57,440 --> 00:37:00,000 Speaker 1: that you know you have had. And you just mentioned 739 00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:02,160 Speaker 1: that there is a huge financial burden, So I think 740 00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:06,040 Speaker 1: it's really special you spoke about it on the Today's 741 00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:07,879 Speaker 1: show and the platform there, and I know that it's 742 00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:13,040 Speaker 1: really important for you to be vocal about this process. 743 00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:15,120 Speaker 1: So what do you want people to know that maybe 744 00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:17,600 Speaker 1: didn't get a chance to hear what you said earlier. No, 745 00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:21,600 Speaker 1: we're going to wrap up this never ending podcast after this. 746 00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:23,400 Speaker 1: I do want to talk about this one point quickly, 747 00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:25,920 Speaker 1: and I have two funny athlete stories about this whole thing. 748 00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:27,799 Speaker 1: I do want to talk about the financial burden. That's 749 00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:29,600 Speaker 1: one thing I learned a lot through this whole thing 750 00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:32,839 Speaker 1: is that you know a lot of people do this, 751 00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:34,960 Speaker 1: yes for a luxury purpose, but a lot of them 752 00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:36,600 Speaker 1: do it because it's their only way that they're going 753 00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:39,000 Speaker 1: to have a baby. And I just every time we 754 00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:42,200 Speaker 1: would talk to Stephanie or write a check, I just thought, 755 00:37:42,239 --> 00:37:45,880 Speaker 1: oh my god, think of people in the LBGTQ community 756 00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:48,160 Speaker 1: think that this is their way to have a baby 757 00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:50,920 Speaker 1: for you know, men a lot of obviously, and then 758 00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:53,399 Speaker 1: think about people who went through cancer like I did, 759 00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:56,520 Speaker 1: spend all their money on these medical bills, and now 760 00:37:56,600 --> 00:37:58,880 Speaker 1: if they want to have a kid and this is 761 00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:00,319 Speaker 1: the only way to do it, they've got to pay 762 00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:02,640 Speaker 1: for IVF and sarrogacy. It just a lot of it. 763 00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:07,120 Speaker 1: I think we need to rethink the way we talk 764 00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:10,320 Speaker 1: about it. We need to make it comfortable in conversations, 765 00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:12,080 Speaker 1: and then I feel like it's going to be easier 766 00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:14,520 Speaker 1: for people to realize people need financial help for this. 767 00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:17,560 Speaker 1: So Stephanie, who I've talked about a lot, I noticed 768 00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:21,200 Speaker 1: that she would align herself with this group called Baby 769 00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:25,359 Speaker 1: Quest Foundation, and she actually helped a woman go through 770 00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:29,920 Speaker 1: sarrogacy and she helped get it financed. And Baby Quest Foundation, 771 00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:32,160 Speaker 1: I want to say it right, they actually are on 772 00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:34,800 Speaker 1: a mission to make parenthood happen for those who cannot 773 00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:38,600 Speaker 1: afford the high cost of IVF, sarrogacy, egg and sperm donation, 774 00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:42,880 Speaker 1: egg freezing, embryo donation. They're focused on helping couples or 775 00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:45,960 Speaker 1: singles in this journey, especially those who are cancer survivors, 776 00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:50,200 Speaker 1: military personnel, regardless of genitor and sexuality. They've given out 777 00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:53,640 Speaker 1: twenty grants to help people get their babies. And this 778 00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:57,880 Speaker 1: is just something that I'm really really really excited about 779 00:38:58,040 --> 00:39:00,640 Speaker 1: aligning myself with. I just I feel like we have 780 00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:02,520 Speaker 1: a purpose. I feel like we have a voice for 781 00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:05,120 Speaker 1: all this, and I'm really really looking forward to it, 782 00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:08,680 Speaker 1: so more to come on all of that. I think 783 00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:11,640 Speaker 1: that's so special because it is it's not something that 784 00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:13,719 Speaker 1: you should be you know, you should feel like, oh, 785 00:39:13,719 --> 00:39:16,719 Speaker 1: I can't do it because of financial reasons. So knowing 786 00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:18,759 Speaker 1: that there's options, I think that's really special to pay 787 00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:20,920 Speaker 1: it forward because that is the ultimate thing, is that 788 00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:23,440 Speaker 1: you have the ultimate gift now and you've had a 789 00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:24,920 Speaker 1: lot of people that have helped you along the way, 790 00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:26,920 Speaker 1: but that all want to help others. I know you're 791 00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:29,719 Speaker 1: quick to deflect, yeah, attention, but it also starts with 792 00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:32,960 Speaker 1: you and Jared and that you know that that that 793 00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:35,919 Speaker 1: athlete mindset that you guys both have like you don't 794 00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:37,520 Speaker 1: give up, and you didn't give up, and now you 795 00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:39,040 Speaker 1: have a baby boy. So I have to ask the 796 00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:41,960 Speaker 1: question of like, what has been the best part about 797 00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:44,680 Speaker 1: being a mother, albeit your short tenure, what has been 798 00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:47,120 Speaker 1: like the greatest thing, Like what has surprised you the 799 00:39:47,160 --> 00:39:51,880 Speaker 1: most good and bad?
