Time is flying by now that I am not sick anymore. I still get fairly tired easily but I guess that is to be expected carrying two. I am just now starting to feel them move. Especially Baby B or at least I am pretty sure it is baby B. He/She has always been the biggest wiggle worm.


Two more weeks and Y&S will be coming in to town for the gender ultrasound and to meet my family. I am really excited that they are finally going to get to see the beautiful mountains of NC and of course their beautiful babies. I am thinking it is a boy and a girl and I know that they are hoping that this will be the outcome also. Molly called Baby B a boy and Baby A a girl a long time ago so it would be really funny if it turned out like that.

I hoped I would be better about keeping this blog up to date but I have been busy moving and have not had internet. Here is my update from 4 weeks ago.


Had the NT scan at 12 weeks 2 days. Everything looked good. Two healthy little babies. Baby B's heart rate was 154, measuring 13 weeks and nuchal thickness is .9mm. Baby A's heart rate is 159, measuring 13 weeks 1 day, and nuchal thickness is 1.4mm. Baby B was being a little wiggle worm and Baby A was being the shy one.

Here are pictures:

The tops of both of their heads.
And here is a picture of the belly at 12 weeks.

Next week is my last appointment at PREG (Piedmont Reproductive Endocrinology Group). I am being turned over to midwives as of May 2nd. PREG is just my monitoring clinic but I have gotten close with the Nurse Practitioner, Molly and I am really going to miss my weekly visits. I will still be stopping by to give updates and eventually to show pictures of Y&S's sweet little ones.


Today I had my final ultrasound with the RE. Everything looks good. Baby A was hard to get a good picture of. Mostly we could only see the top of his/her head. Baby B was the little wiggle worm. I was able to record a video and send it to Y&S. I think she really enjoyed being able to see their little hearts beating.

Injections also got to be cut back. Tonight is my last delestrogen shot and it is only .1cc and progesterone is only .5cc. Not many more to go before I am D-O-N-E!!!

So all is good in surrogacy land!

This blog is to be a journal for my hopeful journey into surrogacy. I will try to keep it up to date as I move forward.

About Me

My photo
I am a mother to some awesome kids, 3 of my own and one step son, a wife to one awesomely geeky husband, a daughter to two wonderful parents, a big sister, a auntie to one super cute nephew and adorable twin nieces, and a friend to those in need or who just like to talk. I am who I am, I work to better myself everyday but for the most part I am a disorganized, passionate, loving, positive, crazy, stubborn, sometimes irrational & moody woman.
