When Jarett and her husband Jeremy began their journey with Surrogate Solutions, they prepared for the matching process to take time. They are fine waiting a few months because they are still in the process of working with an egg donor to create their embryos. As it turned out, the wait was shorter than they thought.
“Only four days!” Jarett shares. “We were on vacation in the Bahamas, and the agency called to say they might have a match. We had a Zoom meeting with our potential successor, Kiely, as soon as we got back, and we clicked with him right away. He checked every box and then some. We can’t think of a better alternative.”
The first transfer with an embryo was successful and Jarett and Jeremy, along with Kiely and her husband Dean, are eagerly awaiting the first ultrasound. They were surprised when the sonogram revealed that Kiely was carrying twins!
“We joked about it being twins, but never thought it would happen because there was only a 3% chance of the embryo splitting,” Jarett said. “Dean said this pregnancy was different than all of Kiely’s previous pregnancies because she was more emotional. It made sense after we found out she had two little girls inside her!”
Jarett, who prefers names suitable for either a boy or a girl, said he and Jeremy have already settled on the name Sawyer. When they found out they were having twins, they chose Sutton as their middle name. “I’m the planner and organizer,” Jarett said. “I had a running list of names and I ordered double the baby stuff we already bought and had them monogrammed on the flight home.”
The delivery day in June 2022 was an emotional one for Jarett and Jeremy. Sawyer was born first and came quickly while Sutton was delivered via an emergency C-section. He was unresponsive and had to be resuscitated, then rushed to the NICU.
“We had every emotion, joy and fear at the same time, and we were worried about Kiely going through the C-section,” Jarett explained. “Once we got into our own room and decompressed it was pure bliss. Sawyer was so beautiful and perfect. Then, we got the news that Sutton was going to be fine, and we were going to see her in a few hours. We were over the moon. “
Now, Jarett and Jeremy are soaking up every moment with their beautiful girls. “It’s fun to see their personalities take shape,” Jarett said. “We all had our predictions about how they would turn out. We thought Sutton would be the more dramatic because she was always kicking and moving. She was definitely more vocal and maybe that’s how we expected. Sawyer was a very gentle and calm baby. . They both slept through the night at three months old, so we were very lucky.”
Jarett added that the best part is how excited the girls are whenever they see their dads. “When we walk into a room and they smile and reach out to us, I just melt. They are so happy to see us and have so much love for us – nothing beats that.”
When asked what they’re most looking forward to in the future, Jarett said it’s the experiences they’ll get to share with their daughters and the conversations they’ll have as they grow up. “I’m very interested in seeing how they develop and learn and become their own people,” she said. “As twins, I’m also looking forward to seeing their relationship grow with each other and how alike or different they will be. And if they do twin pranks on us as they get older!”
