A Surrogate Mommy's Perspective: September 2011

Good Morning Everyone! I hope everyone has been doing good from the last time I was here!

I went to the doctor yesterday and F&J's twins are looking great! They actually look like babies instead of shrimp! :) They gave me some sonogram pictures to mail to F&J but I have to share with y'all also!

I got to meet Dr. W yesterday for the first time. She seems to be very sweet and energetic! I'm very excited to have her as my OBGYN!

We started the sonogram and Baby A was first up. While Dr. W was checking Baby A out, I saw something very familiar. Baby A is definitely a BOY! I have 2 boys of my own and I know what little boy parts look like on a sonogram! Dr W. confirmed what I saw so there is no doubt that Baby A is a boy! At this point I can honestly say I was a little disappointed! Like I said, I have 2 little boys and one day I would like to have 1 more baby and I hope & pray it's a little girl! This may sound silly but I hope if I give someone else a little girl, maybe God will bless me with a little girl of my own, when the time is right! Fingers crossed, we still have another chance to give F&J a girl because after all there are 2 babies in my belly!

Now Baby B's turn...will it be a boy or girl? Considering it is still a little early and I don't go for the actual Anatomy Scan until October 11th we don't know for sure but Baby B did not have "little boy parts"! We're not 100% sure but Dr. W is pretty sure that Baby B is a girl! YAY!

I called J after the appointment to tell her the good news but unfortunately she didn't answer so I got back to work and emailed F&J to tell them the good news. I didn't know if they wanted to know the genders or not so I asked first. I heard from J this morning and they wanted to know even if it was just a guess so I emailed her back with the unconfirmed results. J seems very excited to get the best of both worlds in one pregnancy! So congratulations F&J, you get one of each! I honestly can't express how happy I am for them!

When Dr. W was letting me know her findings I was (am) thrilled but it was a totally different experience for me than what I'm used to. These are not my babies and I could tell the difference in excitement had they been mine. It's a really interesting feeling. It was like my best friend telling me that she was pregnant with twins but I'm carrying them. I don't know if that makes any sense but that's the only way I can explain it.

Now for the fun part...pictures! Here was go!
