Carrying these babies for my brother

Follow the journey of the "Surrogate Sisters" on "Sanjay Gupta, MD" at 4:30 p.m. ET Saturdays and 7:30 a.m. ET Sundays.
(CNN) -- It was the perfect summer day for a wedding. The bride was glowing. The groom was handsome. For nine hours, Tiffany Burke photographed the memorable moments.
"I took one break for 15 minutes, to eat really quickly," Burke recalled. "You don't want to miss the shots; that's what you are paid for."
Later that night, she pulled into the driveway of her Bellingham, Washington, home. She walked inside, put down her gear and ran to the bathroom.
"I just started puking and puking and puking," she said. "I was just grateful that I hadn't puked at the wedding or on the bride."
Burke is six months pregnant. She's already had two children. But this time, she's carrying a baby for someone else.
Her past pregnancies were relatively easy. She did have morning sickness with both her sons: Holland, 7, and Blake, 3. This time, it's more severe.
James and Natalie Lucich and their son, Hunter, support surrogate mother Tiffany Burke as she struggles with nausea and the difficulties of pregnancy.

Ms Close gave birth to twins in July and in August Mr McMurrey revealed that he was gay and sued for custody. He claims that Ms Close was just a surrogate, not the biological mother and has no rights over the children. The twins now live with him and his boyfriend Phong Nguyen. Supervised by a camera, Ms Close gets to see the children for two hours a day on weekdays and four hours on Sunday, but she is not allowed to breastfeed them..
