Third Trimester-the home stretch
Hello everyone we are now in the home stretch and it's unbelievable how fast time has flown by and yet it still seems like yesterday. So far , so good only bad thing was I had to be admitted to the hospital for food posioning last Thursday morning. It was for a few hours but scary nonetheless. I was dehydrated and felt like I went 12 rounds in a heavy weight boxing match. I couldn't get no relief and had no choice but to have hubby call the EMT's. It was hard to breathe and just the touch of the nurses felt like a maul.
Well after a full bag of IV fluids, and an ultrasound to see how munchkin was doing and to check the levels of my amniotic fluid and to see if my cervix was closed I was sent home to take it easy for the rest of the week. My hubby reached out to my co-ordinator and my agency owner. We told IP's who are out of the country until November 30th. I was just happy that the little one was doing well despite my episode.

Updates- Second Trimester
I am getting terrible at updating but my tablet makes me cringe when it comes to this lol, We had a barrage of tests for little munchkin, Along with me regular OBGYN visits and my MFM visits we were recommended to have a Fetal Echocardigram - why? because she is an active baby and does'nt keep still, they wanted better pictures of her heart. Well we got it and not only are there four perfect chambers but there is also the strongest heartbeat ever. We saw her sucking her thumb and were able to take a picture of it which I sent to my IP's. IM could'nt make it but hubby took the day off to come to the visit and it was great. I worry alot about her in between visits and am estactic when I hear her HB and see her on the US machine it eases my mind for IM who has come so far and has really come out of her shell and who released a lot of the tension and worry she was carrying around. I am coming to the end of My Second Trimester and moving so quickly into the Third I can't believe that last year we were transfering and expierenced a miscarriage and now day by day we are getting closer to bringing munchkin into this world. God moves mountains
Baby Bump shot
15 -18 weeks I can't remember I just though it would be nice to shoe my baby bump progression I shrae weekly shots with IM and IF to keep them connected :)

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
