Blissfully Surrogacy!

What an exhausting last few days! Our daughter has been so sick, poor thing, with a high fever and double ear infection :( She has never been sick before so it was a rude awakening for the whole family. I have been trying to get as much sleep as possible because I have felt so tired this past week. I have said again and again how I never had morning sickness while pregnant with Ava but fingers crossed for this pregnancy and sure enough Wednesday evening/Thursday morning I was SICK! I got up so many times throughout the night and just stood in the bathroom with my arms above my head taking the deepest breaths I have ever taken  (heeeeee whoooooo heeeeeee whoooooo) I kept coaching myself silently, "your not going to throw up...your going to be okay...just breathe" which soon turned into begging myself, "Please don't throw up! Keep breathing! Please don't throw up!" On that note I hate vomiting more than anything and I will do anything possible to not do it, I know once I start there is no stopping me for a long time (NOT GOOD!) Thankfully I did NOT end up vomiting but I felt so sick to my stomach all the way until 11am Thursday. UGH! Happy to announce I haven't felt that way since...so far :(

Saturday was an exciting evening for Ben and I both, if the ultrasound this next Tuesday comes back with great results then Saturday was my last progesterone shot!!!! Yayyyy, No More Bootayyy Shots! That deserves some pineapple sherbert! It was the best shot of all which figures, save the best for last, it didn't hurt and was barely even sore, YES PLEASE! I will absolutely keep you posted for Tuesday's ultrasound and hopefully figure out how to upload the video as well. I'm not too anxious for this appointment but at this point it feels like a waiting game as if it is still surreal because I don't feel much different. I am very excited to see baby and make sure baby is still comfy and cozy in there to give E & A a little piece of mind. For them the experience is so much different I'm sure. They don't live the journey every single day except in thought/e-mail and I can't imagine waiting for these appointments to come each week. It is the medical confirmation that can give piece of mind that their perfect little embryo is growing healthy and comfortably. They have their full trust put into us for all the in between appointment details but I am very prompt at telling E anything I would want to know, as if I were carrying my own (: Love her to death!

HAPPY VETERANS DAY!!!

Love,
