Hi there! We are J and G, otherwise known here as the Two Chicks.
J and I first met in the fall of 2010 after initially meeting online. Some people may have thought we were moving too fast, but everything just seemed to fall into place. Sometimes when it's meant to be, it's just easy! We will be celebrating our second wedding anniversary this August and have two fur babies (dogs) we love more than anything. We were lucky enough to be one of roughly 300 couples that were legally married in Michigan this past March.
J is almost 30 and works as a retail manager for a major corporation.
G is almost 28 and works in higher education for a local university.
For as long as we've discussed having children it has been a no-brainer that G will carry. J has no interest in being pregnant while G has a strong desire to carry and give birth.
This blog will document our journey to parenthood. including our unique perspective as a same-sex couple. G will be the main author, but J may chime in occasionally.
We decided to start this blog to share our thoughts, feelings, and the events leading up to becoming parents so that we can look back someday or even show our future kids. But mostly we decided to blog our journey as a way to connect with others, provide others with insight/advice, and to talk about what will surely be a road of highs and lows in an anonymous fashion. It's not that we don't want to share this journey with those we call family, it's just that we feel this is stressful enough without people expecting to educate them or answer all their probing questions, etc. Only a handful of people in our real life know we are taking these steps.
We hope you enjoy sharing in our journey!
