The Gift

Ok, now some background...

All of this would not have been possible without the generosity of Christa Nielsen and her family: Dick, Trent, and Ruby. After many unsuccessful attempts at having children, both traditionally and non-traditionally, Christa offered to carry our kids for us. Kellie's sister Kim had tried twice before with no results. Holy cow! We were on the receiving end of generosity that I will be striving for the rest of my life to balance out.

Kellie's egg and my sperm produced some embryos in the lab, two of which we transferred to Christa. It looks like one didn't take and the other split into identical twins. I feel so lucky.

Alexandra Christa May and Isabella Kimberly May have middle names to reflect the steps to get here.

Here's Christa along the way. (Before we were able to grab the kids and bring them back to Louisville, Colorado)
