- Julie Loving, 51, was the surrogate for her 29-year-old daughter Breanna Lockwood.
- Loving gave birth to baby Briar on November 2 and told Insider her pregnancy was similar to when she carried her own children over 20 years prior.
- Lockwood told Insider it was a dream come true to become a mother after years of fertility struggles, hundreds of IVF injections, and two miscarriages.
- "It really made me feel good to be able to give my daughter this gift of life," Loving said. "I do think surrogates are like angels to be able to do that for someone else."
After four years, two miscarriages, several surgeries, and plenty of heartbreak, Breanna Lockwood finally got to welcome her baby girl into the world.
And by Lockwood's side was her mother Julie Loving, who had just given birth to that baby.
Loving, 51, carried Lockwood's child after watching her daughter go through years of fertility struggles. Their touching story has been followed by more than 150,000 people on Instagram, and made headlines all around the world.
Insider spoke to Lockwood and Loving about meeting baby Briar for the first time, their emotions on delivery day, and what it was like to go through surrogacy together.
