Week 19

Woo, week 19!! Next week, little girl will have been baking for 5 months! She's about 6 inches from head to rump, and weighs around 8 ounces. I have a feeling that we will be able to feel her from the outside soon. She has been getting pretty strong lately. S & B just got back from their holiday and we should be skyping this weekend. It's been almost a month! Too long!

The craziest thought though, is that she has actually been in existence since February when her mom and dad came to create their embryos! And to think she's actually pretty young compared to some of the other embryos that were transferred to my surrogate friends. Science is so amazing.

Surro Support - Yoga & Yogurt

This month our surrogate support group meeting was amazing :) We had an hour yoga session with a local yoga studio owner. She was so great and gave us a lot of really great stretches and poses to do ourselves. We also learned some reflexology with a golf ball. It was much needed! After, we enjoyed yogurt with all of the toppings you could imagine, and a light, yummy lunch. The yogurt was a genius idea. I immediately went to the store and stocked up on some for home!

Week 18

This week has been quite the week. We had our monthly check up yesterday and baby A is sounding perfect. She's still very active. My stomach is definitely growing, and my muscles are stretching. I'm experiencing round ligament pains around my hips and bottom of my stomach, but nothing new to me during pregnancy. This is just caused from my body expanding and making room for baby girl. She should be approximately 5.5 inches long and weigh close to 7 ounces. She's getting big!

This weekend I have my monthly surrogate support group meeting. We will be doing yoga and having yogurt after :) I'm really excited because I could use a yoga session, and I really love yogurt! I hope to have pictures of our meeting next week!

Week 17

Womp womp womp! Nothing new to report except that baby girl is about 5 inches long and weighs 5 ounces. We have a Dr.'s appointment next week so we will have a fun update then. S & B and I have not skyped in a week or so due to our busy busy schedules! Between my personal life going a million miles an hour and S & B preparing for one of their last baby-less vacations, so we are relying on emails and texts. Can't wait for things to slow down so we can really soak all of this in. We are only 3 weeks away from the half way point and the anatomy scan!

Week 16

Man, these weeks are flying by! It feels like I am constantly writing a new blog post! This week, baby girl is the size of an avocado at about 4 1/2 inches long. She is definitely a feisty little thing. I knew that I could feel her, even early on, but it is hilarious to watch her on ultrasound just twirling around non-stop. Trying to get a clear picture of this little girl is quite the production. S & B were excited to show me their newborn prep books when we skyped last. I think it is becoming more apparent that they only have a few more months to prepare for her arrival since we are now at our 4 month mark. Getting close to the half way point! The next few weeks will be pretty mellow, which is nice since my daughter is turning five and going to kindergarten. I'm actually very excited to have pictures of me pregnant with this little girl during big milestones in my family's lives. We have her full anatomy scan in early September. I will have tons of pictures then!
