By: Kelly Rummelhart My surro baby, Alexander, made it out of the NICU July 8th and then headed back to his home July 13th. He is doing so well and is even up to six and a half pounds! One of the issues with international surrogacy is that you can’t ship breast milk (it would […]
By: Kelly Rummelhart I went into the hospital on Friday June 29th and was discharged Monday July 2nd. Alexander is still in the NICU but looks as if he’ll be discharged in the next few days (if you can believe it!). Here are some other pictures from his 2nd and 3rd day on earth…. [imagebrowser […]
By: Kelly Rummelhart The morning of Friday June 29th, Stacie and I walked into labor and delivery to get my “leaking” checked. About 8 hours later we headed to the operating room.

By: Kelly Rummelhart I am freaking out. Nothing really pregnancy related per se, but thinking about what I have to do in the next few weeks has my mind spinning . . . As a reminder, my husband decided to inform me a week before Christmas, on the way to Disneyland with our kids, that […]
By: Kelly Rummelhart Had a great time at Gay Pride this year! My best friend Stacie and I were going to be too pregnant this summer to attend SF Pride as usual, so looked around and found out that Long Beach Pride had perfect timing. So Friday, Stacie and I flew from Sacramento to Long […]
