She works in a Dublin. I think she's a hotel receptionist so I'd imagine her hours might be unusual or work weekends etc. She's always at their house though...each to their own. Maybe she has kind of moved in with them while pregnant. She's an amazing person to do this. I'd imagine we will see them all on the late late shortly. Id say him and Orther would love some kind of reality show following their journey. They won't let an opportunity for publicity pass anyway 
Don't think there's anything wrong with getting things, FTP to be and all that. I 100% would be the same as yourself and wouldn't get things but i have plenty of friends who were buying stuff from when they got a positive pregnant test! What makes my insides curl is the desperation and begging. Not as bad as Terri Mc evoy and her saved down excel sheet of "essentials". But still desperate!
From their stories the colour scheme looks like a baby boy is on the way
There was a mix of colours & patterns on Brian’s stories. The fabric swatches had pink, purple & blues & a lot of the wall papers were quite unisex
"oh shut up Brian! " is all I ever think when I hear him talk. He is insufferable.
Actually can't wait to live through Arthur for the weekend in the south of France. I'm glad he's leaving moan bag at home.
I'm usually against surrogacy when it's paid as its usually exploiting a woman from a 3rd world country, but his sister is being very selfless in this situation. It's very unusual, having your dad be your uncle and your aunt be your mother at the same time! But perhaps his sister is unmarried or childless and thought this would be a good opportunity for the whole family.
I'm wondering have they mentioned anything about the technicalities of this arrangement?
Surrogacy is not legalised or regulated in Ireland so his sister will be listed as the mother on the birth cert (rightly so as it's supposed to record the birth) and will legally be the child's mother. Are they planning to travel to a country where surrogacy is allowed or 2 men can be on a birth certificate to circumvent the laws in Ireland when its time for her to give birth? although maybe since theyre so close it wont bother Brian that his sister is the legal parent.

They explained it on the podcast with Amy Huberman they used a donor egg so technically baby isn’t hers
The mother and father go on birth certificate and other person can look for guardianship in 2 years. they looked at different options in America before they came home then here as they wanted to adopt but it wasn’t option here for them
Amazing thing for her to do for her brother and his partner
I fully agree it's an amazing thing to do, extremely selfless and highly admirable.
You would wonder though, after having a baby carrying it feeling the kicks and building a bond with it to then hand it over to Brian and OURthur & what go back to carrying on your life as normal? The hormones after having a baby are through the roof. I'm Sure it's all stuff they've thought about and spoken about and they have their own arrangement. I couldn't imagine handing over a child after having it.

yeah it does sound extremely hard, and you definitely cant go straight back to normal. Biologically and hormonally your body is totally changed and oriented towards the baby after giving birth. But the sister must have chosen to do it for a reason. Maybe brian and arthur want the child to have a female role model/connection with its birth mother, I'm sure they had enough money to pay a stranger surrogate overseas if they wanted to. The fact the surrogate is his sister maybe means she can play a bigger role than a surrogate usually would like feeding etc. Maybe that motherly bond was important to them and the sister will be playing a very big role in the baby's life.
I'd imagine she'll be playing a huge role in the baby's life. I can see her moving in full time. She lived with them in London so not a new concept.
I respect her for doing it, but a little part of me wonders what if she meets someone gets married and tries to have kids but can’t …. Would that have been her only chance to have kids? Just my opinion. I just couldn’t do it.
Maybe it would be here only time but shes obviously not in a position to have her own at the moment so why would that matter? She may never want her own kids. Noboby knows what the situation is.
People are being really negative here.
Brians sister is a grown woman who has decided to do this.
Honestly feel its very misogynistic to come up with ways she might regret this. Women are fully capable of making decisions.
Also worth noting that it would be required to have counselling etc before she could do this. Its not like she flipped a coin to frcking decide

Gotta love Simon Delaney this morning on tv.
Brian: I'll give you a clue, it's your pet name for me.
Simon: Miserable?
Spot on Simon
He also needs to stop with the whatever he's doing to his face. He looks plastic now.

I really can’t stand their antics and the love they have for themselves and the fawning over themselves and the constant countless gifted and paid for treatments etc. But I’m fairly sure they will probably have come at the surrogacy from all angles and made sure Aoife was entirely happy with it all. She will have deep feelings of course for the baby, but she’ll be in its life as a very close auntie. Not many surrogates could actually say that.
Brian’s face though; is it a filter he uses or is his skin really that shiny and smooth. The lips look so fake now.

I’m sure they did do counseling etc and that it’s all clear, but to be honest no one knows how they will feel after their birth. The physical side if it’s a tough one and recovery, mentally with the hormones etc. the fact she’s never experienced pregnancy/birth it’s hard to know how you’ll feel. Most surrogates are strangers and won’t grow up with the child around. She’s a stronger woman than me, I don’t think I could do it, even for family. She’s amazing to gift this to them.
