5 days to late... Sorry!

I have been really bad at updating or doing anything for that matter lately! This sleepiness is getting the best of me.  We had our Ultrasound on Monday. It was a great day the Intended mommy and daddy, and my mommy came. We got there and of course because I was nervous the clinic was running a little late. But I forgave instantly when we saw a perfect heartbeat of  ONE  cute baby. 

I was a little shocked, I think I thought it would be twins. I kinda got a little sad until I felt relieved the thought that bed rest or premature labor was most likely not going to happen now. I am very happy for  my family. I think this baby is going to be so loved and I am so excited for their blessings they will recieve because of this Cute little peanut. 

The belly

I really haven't known what to think about this belly.  I really woke up and it was there one day and its getting bigger. I am only 7 weeks pregnant on tuesday. I am not very fond of it.  Non of my clothes fit, it's embarrassing to tell people, ya Im only 6 weeks after they notice on their own there is a belly on me.  I've been looking at a few maternity clothes or bigger clothes but bigger clothes won't fit long and maternity clothes, I haven't even seen a heartbeat I don't want to move to fast.  I am also am a volunteer photographer for Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep. We take pictures of Infant or child loss. The other day I could not find a photographer for two Angels.  So I tried on everything I had to hide it so I could go. I don't own a lot of bigger clothes I like tighter less clothing especially in summer.   It was the one day in my life I wanted people to think I was fat not pregnant.  I can't take pictures for these moms that just lost their  baby while I am flaunting my pregnant belly. Its just not fair to them and the pain they are going through.   As I tried to hide it I walked into the hospital and a nurse I knew said "Jen are you?" as she looked at my belly. She had no idea I was doing Surrogacy. So I think I'll be taking a brake from my Angels :( Which I am so sad about!!!

8/21/11 6 weeks 6 days

Here is a picture to compare, This picture was taken 10 days before the transfer.





















Today is my first Ultrasound hopefully we see great heartbeat(s). I am really excited! I might start really liking the belly after.

6 Weeks

This post is a tad late, I am 6 weeks and 3 days now. I wrote this the other day but I wanted to post a belly pic with it but I am not feeling so photogenic this week. I will get one up soon because I'm looking preggo. I have been nauseous and so sleepy. Wow I fall asleep looking at the computer. Today has been a little rough I woke up with a little old blood. I have never bleed in any of my pregnancies so it a little nerve racking.  Its since gone away but I have had kind of a crampy feeling. So hopefully all is well and we will see heartbeats on Monday.
















*This week's major developments: 


*The nose, mouth, and ears are beginning to take shape.


*Baby's eyes and nostrils are starting to form. 


*The ears are marked by small depressions on the sides of the head, and his arms and legs by protruding buds. 


*His heart is beating about 100 to 160 times a minute


 *Blood is beginning to course through his body.

Our Ultrasound is August 22nd!

What will it be?

Here I am at 6 Am wondering why I am awake.  I should be sleeping but my Beta is today and for some reason I am really nervous. You would think after 30 positive test, Nausea, a 15 week belly and a missed period would mean I am pregnant. right? For some reason Im scared of a low number and Im scared of a high number.  I am afraid of it working out but also afraid of a litter. This is all so nerve-racking.  I will let you know when I hear!!!
