And yes, it’s my first one. I’m one of those annoying people who actually did change their minds, thus adding fuel to obnoxious aunts bothering happily childfree people. Really am sorry about that, guys. ---

> [@Zsofia](#): > > And yes, it’s my first one. I’m one of those annoying people who actually did change their minds, thus adding fuel to obnoxious aunts bothering happily childfree people. Really am sorry about that, guys. What changed my mind wasn’t a biological imperative but rather loving my partner so much that I wanted to know a whole other part of him, one that he and I could invent together. That’s why we looked into surrogacy; passing on my genes was not only unimportant to me but something I wanted to avoid due to my genetic issues. So the aunts are sort of right but for the wrong reasons in my case. ---

Aww congrats! That’s so exciting. If you start with morning sickness, it helps to not let your stomach get empty. I kept some crackers on the nightstand and ate a couple when I first woke up. It helps a lot. ---
