17 weeks and time is flying!

3 more weeks, and we are to the halfway mark!

Time has definitely flown by so far! Tomorrow (8/15) I will be 17 weeks! Baby is now a whole 5 inches! The past few days I have felt lots of movement and little kicks. It’s such an amazing feeling. 

We have had a couple of big appointments so far and we got to see the baby! At the last ultrasound we had, baby was all over the place and moving like crazy! We even saw the little fingers and toes. So precious ❤️ The dads get to come with to all of these appointments and I love that they get to see how much their baby is growing and changing. The bigger thing though is that the baby is healthy and right one track! 

The next few months will be crazy but I’m looking forward to it! In October, I get to meet their other surrogate and her husband in the beautiful NYC! The kids can’t wait to see the guys again, they love them! I can’t blame them though, they are pretty great 😉 

Then in November, my daughter Alex is competing in her National Pageant all the way in sunny California! Our family gets to go to Disneyland, have a day in hollwood, and see all of the beautiful beaches. We are excited to watch her shine on that stage! 

At the end of this month we have another big appointment that we are all looking forward to! I can’t wait to see how much baby has grown! I’m just barely getting a belly too. I can still fit into all of my normal clothes! Baby must just be hiding very well 🤰🏼 I’m sure I’ll start really showing soon, though! 

I just figured I’d give a little update on the baby and how things are going! I definitely can’t wait until January to finally see them hold their precious baby! 23 weeks and counting.

Try Again

These have been two of the hardest weeks I’ve had in along time. Waiting was excruciating. Nobody likes to wait, but oh boy was this difficult. I mean, this is a big deal , and we all just wanted to know. I went for bloodwork 6 days after the transfer. This was to make sure my levels were all good, and my body was reacting properly to the medicine and doing what it was suppose to, and possibly see if HCG was present. There wasn’t .  That early it typically isn’t a big deal though, because the baby could have just implanted late. It happens often. I talked to my nurse and she said I’d go back in a few days to see if my levels raised. Between those few days I bought so many pregnancy tests.  I started seeing two lines! Plus signs! I was THRILLED . The parents were so happy. Of course, we weren’t 100% sure since I hadn’t had more bloodwork yet. We all stayed optimistic. I think I went to the store every day to buy pregnancy tests. Who knew you could be excited...

Exciting things happening!

So many things have happened over the past several weeks! Lots of phone calls, lots of paperwork, and lots of planning! We had to review contracts, review them AGAIN, get things signed, notarized, faxed, emailed, mailed, it was a lot to do! We finally got everything in place after many months. This week, I got my schedule! It’s what I’ve been waiting for this entire time. I have many appointments over the next month. I have different medicines I have to take and different procedures I have to do. Am I nervous? A little! I think I’m more nervous about flying than anything honestly. I have to do that again in a couple of weeks and I’m pretty scared 😱 Of course, it’s worth it! I know a lot of things are going to change. Obviously pregnancy already changes your body, but when you have to take medicine, hormones etc, your body acts VERY differently. I am nervous about the hormone changes too, but I know I’ll be just fine. The IPs are getting excited as well. They were so happy when w...
