I thought Dr. Garzo at Reproductive Partners Medical Group was going to give Elizabeth a sticker and some balloons after her appointment. He was soooo happy with her results and was the first to congratulate her on being cleared to become a Surrogate Mom!! Her Couple are so, so happy too, of course!!!

Did you know???? Charlie Brown’s dad was a barber. Almonds are members of the peach family. Pearls melt in vinegar. Da Vinci invented the scissors. Fingerprints of a koala bear are almost indistinguishable from those of humans. Whoa! Did you know there are no words in the dictionary that rhyme with orange, purple, silver and month?

Tuesday mornings start early here at BFI!! Randi holds the weekly recruiters’ meeting via Skype at 7am while everyone follows along on the Trello Board that she and Lauryn manage. It is always interesting and Randi’s hard work is really, really appreciated!

A minor misconception almost changed the destiny of three different families. “I was naive and assumed that only single women who didn’t want to have their own children were Surrogates,” said third time Surrogate Mother, Jennifer. Thankfully, a friend of Jennifer’s became a Surrogate and shed some light on the qualities that are necessary in being a successful Surrogate Mom. And after hearing what a wonderful experience her friend was having, Jennifer joined the BFI family shortly after.

Melissa and Carol greatly enjoyed meeting Dr. Garg. He was super friendly and it was clear that it was going to be a great experience with him and his OB office. And it was amazing to see how much the little peanut had grown in just a week!

Did Catherine bring her bird to breakfast? LOL!! After a great appointment with Catherine’s OB, she wanted to go to Denny’s and when we came out, she had a visitor waiting for her at her van.

Big smile!!! Erica has graduated from Reproductive Science Center of the Bay Area and moved on to her own OB, Dr. Michael Andersen. Now we just need her to graduate from morning sickness and all will be grand! Share any remedies girls!!

It’s graduation day for Melissa! She’s already 9 weeks. Best wishes for the best pregnancy ever. Congratulations to Melissa and her couple!

On this day in 1851, Isaac Singer patented the first sewing machine. I’m not a crafty person, but I know many who are and are super grateful for this invention! Now, this one is up my alley, in 1908, the First Model T car is built by Henry Ford’s company. And something that affects us all today, on this day in 1981, IBM introduced the first Personal Computer (PC)!! Who remembers this? I do
