I was only thirty-eight weeks along, and for the last several days my body had been teasing me nonstop. But then another contraction came five minutes later\u2014stronger this time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I gripped the edge of the table and breathed slowly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPaul!\u201d I called.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My husband rushed in from the kitchen, instantly alert. \u201cIs it time?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I nodded weakly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Within twenty minutes, we were in the car speeding toward the hospital while my sister Carol cried through the phone speaker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOh my God. Oh my God.

The kind who knitted little sweaters \u201cjust in case\u201d long before she was even married. When she and her husband Rob started trying for children, everyone assumed it would happen quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead, they got heartbreak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Years of treatments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Failed procedures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Loss after loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then finally, the devastating news that carrying a pregnancy could permanently endanger Carol\u2019s health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I still remembered the look on her face the day she told me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like someone had turned all the lights off inside her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That was why, when she asked if I\u2019d become her surrogate, I didn\u2019t hesitate for long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I already had two beautiful children. My pregnancies had been healthy. And more than anything, I loved my sister.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Paul had been supportive too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIf anyone can help Carol through this,\u201d he\u2019d said, \u201cit\u2019s you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So we began the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Doctors. Lawyers. Paperwork.
