long overdue update!!!!

I am so sorry to keep my loyal followers in the dark. Let's see at last post betas were great we had an ultrasound and was released from the RE to our OBGYN. We have had two visits thus far the initial and a regular  I will also be visiting a MFS- maternal fetal specialist which is norm for any woman over 35. IM came to our second visit and got to meet our OBGYN I was ecstatic she was a bundle of nerves but so happy at the end and we got to the little potatoes heart beat she officially got the green light to relax and enjoy her pregnancy---yes this is her Pregnancy and I want her to feel as connected to this as possible. She made a pledge to be in attendance to as many visits as possible and I thank her for that, she's super busy and I understand when she can't.

 She got a shock when she saw me I was huge there was no mistaking that I was growing a little miracle just for her. I say her a lot because this is her first child that had developed so far she has had too many heart breaks more than most of us could bear but she didn't give up. She thinks I am the strong one but she doesn't know that I am learning so much from her and the depth of her strength. I will not trivialize surrogacy, but will acknowledge that the IP's we are matched with give you such a deep sense of love and compassion and endurance that just astounds those on the outside looking in.

I am working on my tablet but will upload pics of us soon. We are headed to our second trimester ultrasound and I have cut my hair so can't wait to share :-)

PS- I felt the potato move from 15 weeks whoo hoo
