Join us on the road from Tuscany to the Italian Riviera via Rome on:
My 3 biggest takeaways from the 1st trimester of our pregnancy and surrogacy journey
Who we’ve shared the gender of the baby with and why/why not
The 2 extra special places we found on our first time in Tuscany (will share links on IG after our trip!)
The Italian political perspective on surrogacy that I can’t help but think about while here
We get lost, have to change audio sources halfway through, and I don’t allow for silence so we don’t have to make edits once we arrive in Positano so he doesn’t have much time to chime in (ha.)
Would love to hear your thoughts after on Instagram @HilaryRushford. If you think this would help someone you know please share and tag me so I can see and chime in!
And thank you in advance (wink) for leaving a review, they mean so much in helping more people!

0:00.0 | you're welcome. What was that? You're welcome with Hillary Rushford. Say it again. You're welcome. |
0:11.6 | In advance. |
0:14.5 | Hello friends. This is a different kind of episode. You're workshopping it as we are in rental |
0:24.7 | car. Am I your first guest? You and I have done this once before actually. We talked about |
0:30.8 | our love story. We were in California. Okay. So we've done this once before. We are in rental |
0:39.8 | car driving through the Tuscan countryside. We are passing a large pond right now which |
0:47.0 | is beautiful. We are driving from the most, I mean, maybe we need to start there. We were |
0:56.6 | going to talk about kind of a check-in on how we're feeling at the end of the first trimester, |
1:02.2 | but we just had one of the most magical things in our lives yesterday. Yeah. I keep thinking |
1:08.6 | about it. We spent two nights in an Airbnb in Umbria, which is right outside of Tuscanie just |
1:20.9 | to the east of Tuscanie. And we didn't want to spend a lot of money. I wanted to have |
1:29.7 | the classic big rectangular pool, which is a very specific when you look at these villas |
1:35.6 | in Tuscanie. It's always what they look like. We didn't want to spend a lot of money. I |
1:39.6 | wanted to simply as the beautiful outside and we're mostly just going to chill in their space |
1:45.1 | yesterday. But oh my gosh, we had no idea how magical this place was that we booked. We got in |
1:53.3 | at 10 o'clock at night the night before, which I do not recommend. We got there so late, but we had a |
1:59.7 | travel full day. Day driving from Rome. Also, we went to these hot springs on the way. |
2:06.0 | Oh, the thermal hot springs, yeah. Which were also phenomenal. One of the rare times when |
2:12.7 | you've seen something on Instagram and it is it lives up. It lives up to the height and I don't know |
2:19.7 | how I would have found it if it wasn't for Instagram. Yeah. That's the place that I saw it. So |
2:25.6 | we, you did a little drone. Yeah, I got a couple. Drone in there, so I'll be curious to see |
2:31.4 | what that looks like. But that was just, I want to research the history of it a little bit more. |
