Hi all.
There have been some ups and down along this journey and we knew there were going to be tough decisions to make along the way.
We a looking for an egg donor to help us on this journey. If you know of anyone or thinking of yourself as a possible donor we would love to hear from you.
Please share with friends and family living New Zealand ❤❤❤

Things have been ticking along in the background. Donovan, Latischa, Calvin and Glenda have all completed their compulsory Legal sessions as part of the ECART application.
Thank you for your donations - this has helped in making this possible.

Sorry for being quiet, no update or sound. It's been a tough few days wondering around. Last Thursday we collected 22 eggs from Meggy Moo, and waited patiently for the next day to see how many were taken by Calvin's super swimmers in the tube. Fridays phone call was a shock and disbelief, only 4 eggs fertilized, all the others just couldnt break through. They said the swimmers were swimming, so fast and hard too. Just didnt break the barrier and so couldn't get through. 5 days past and all our hope was on these 4 embryos, to mature and and develop. The phone rings with an update, not one we wanted to hear. That 3 embryos did not make it and only 1 was left . We prayed, hoped, rain danced and cried, all we needed was just one embryo, just one to survive. The phone rings today, we lost the last one. Our eyes are shocked, our heart skips a beat, numbness in our bodies and fogginess when we speak. Sobbing and heart sore for the joy was ripped off our face. This can't be happening, what the hell, I must be dreaming about all of this. Sadly not, this is where we are at. We will grieve today and for days to come but we know that this isn't the end of our journey, but only the next chapter to come.
When I'm extremely happy or heart broken I write in rhyme as I express my feelings like so.
Calvin, Megan and myself would like to THANK EVERYONE for you love and support. This is a hump on the path way and we will carry on. Right now we need to keep strong, grieve with family and talk about our experience.
This is not the end for Baby McLuckie!!
Once we have had time to gather we will update you all on what the next step will be.
Thank you so much

Boy vs Girl donation. What's life without humour.
Just want to honour Megan for what she has put her body through. For us guys it's a pleasurable experience but for ladies there is far more involved than a cup and a creepy leather chair - Calvin
An emotional night! So super blessed to have Megan in our lives - Family forever!
We have been blessed to learn more about each other over the last week staying together, there has been lots of laughter and positivity.
This is me just telling our story - I hope you have a few minutes to listen.

<3 We had an egg-cellent day today!!!
Went for a follow up scan and there is a heap more follicles developing. Megan is such an overachiever! Egg collection day has moved from Tuesday to the end of the week to allow the majority of the follicles to grow. <3
During this period Megan has made so many sacrifices, we can't thank her enough!

Awesome fundraiser this evening. Thank you for all those that came and thank you to Cathy from The CrossFit Power Station Gym Auckland for organising this evening! <3
For those that may not be familiar, we will be required to formally adopt our child once it is born through surrogacy (NZ Law, Adoption Act 1955). We will be assessed based on standard adoption processes. This assessment will form part of the ECART application for approval. One step closer to Baby Mc Luckie!

We're going to be awesome BIG cousins!!!!
#Dreams will become reality!
In less than 24 Hours our Journey in becoming parents has started.
From the much exciting pick up at the airport, the most EPIC introduction in person, the Auckland traffic reminding us how much time we spoke so easily for. The wine and pizza date on the couch, the feeling of emotions and love pouring through conversations, realizing just how much we look alike and making jokes on how crazy a certain day will be when we actually MAKE A BABY the most un-natural way possible and that SCIENCE is so mind blowing. Staying up to midnight laughing and hugging goodnight.
To waking up this morning for a cheeky early rise, a walk around the park to enjoy the sunrise of a new and joyous day that would all come down to ,
-Doctor appointment
-Drug collection and,
- Counseling session
What a crazy few hours it has been, and I cannot wait for more of them.
MEGAN YOU ARE AND FOREVER WILL BE FAMILY

Last year September we got in touch with the Breeze. Robert and Jeanette were so lovely and supportive. That day we spread awareness for other couples in similar positions who go through fertility treatment.
