Week 30!!!

Week 30!! 7 more weeks until our Swiss family is back in Florida and just 9 weeks until our scheduled c-section. 

 Baby's parents are so eager to get back here and we all cant wait to meet this little guy and see and hold him for the first time and I cannot wait to see their reactions, big brother's reaction, and how they will adjust to being a family of 4!

 We did a Skype call today with the agency to finalize everything for delivery which made things feel super real and close!!! Baby’s parents also booked their flights for July to come back and be here a week before the scheduled c-section. 

 Not too much to report other than we are just a few days away from week 30! We had another check-up appointment yesterday and all is continuing perfectly! So perfectly, that doc said I can come back in 3 weeks instead of 2! The little guy is still head down and super flexible. He is Literally folded in half like a taco, with his feet up by his face. He said this is why I’m feeling some pressure and even said, if I wanted too I could probably do a VBAC this time vs a c-section but the thought of pushing a baby out scares the heck out of me. Lol, I think we will just go with what we know! He’s not as big as Bryce and Emma were NEVER head down and so low so he was just saying I’d be a good candidate for a VBAC if I wanted it. The baby is measuring 2 pounds which is right on target and his heartbeat was 134 today. Love that my doc does 4d pics for us each visit...baby is getting so stinkin’ cute. 💙

He’s is still very active! His movements have been a lot more aggressive this past week causing me to have to move around a lot and even have me saying, “whoa, agh!” He feels like he’s doing flips in there and there have been times that my stomach makes waves. I guess he’s still got some room in there to move around even though I’m feeling like he doesn’t.  (This is by far my favorite thing about being pregnant) We also got to feel him have the hiccups the other night for the first time. 🥰

BOY or GIRL?????

Well, last night I had my 1st dream about the baby. I dreamed that we got our test results and found out baby Swiss was a boy. Today,  I stalked my email hoping the results would come. Baby's mom was excited but thought it might be too early and I was being super optimistic. I decided to call Quest while I was sitting in the car loop and they said, "yeah, we have the results and they were sent to your dr. yesterday." I told him I was signed up to get an email but had not gotten one yet so he said he would send them right over. 10 mins later my email dinged and then I was scared to look. I pulled them up and everything is PERFECT, normal, and negative. WE HAVE A HEALTHY BABY, which is of course most important. I quickly let the parents know all was good and we would call them in a few to reveal the gender. They were so happy and excited! I called my Dr. to confirm the sex and that all the results looked good and she said "YES!"  When we got home the kids co...

Update....

The last 2 weeks have been a little stressful and very busy! I was able to get into my OBGYN but he said I would need to schedule the hysteroscopy and go to the hospital and be put under for that procedure. We went ahead and scheduled it for September 13th. It dawned on me though that I should maybe call my insurance company to see how much this would cost. Insurance advised me that it would be thousands of dollars to do at the hospital and I would receive bills from everyone. She suggested that I have it done at an outpatient surgery center and then my co-pay would only be $250. I had to make several phone calls between my insurance, my OBGYN, the surrogacy agency, and the San Diego Clinic. My program coordinator for the surrogacy agency is great but she is brand new and I think she is learning a lot through us. After a few days of back and forth, we finally came up with a plan...I will have to go to a local Fertility clinic here in Clearwater a few times before and after the tr...

Another Week Down...

Image
Week 35!!!! This past week I have had a lot stronger contractions, mostly at night time that will wake me up. My sleeping is off and on...some nights it’s great and I’ve even slept in until 9-10am and some nights it’s terrible and I’m wide awake until after midnight or for 2-3 hours in the night. So, looking forward to sleeping on my stomach again. My appetite comes and goes...loving veggies, watermelon, sour gummies, and drinking tons of water!!! Not really wanting any meat again! The pressure down below is intensifying and bathroom visits are at an all-time high, sometimes I’ll go, stand up, and have to go again! My boobs are huge, my belly is huge, it’s so hot outside and I kept stressing that my water might break when I’m out in public somewhere!!! I’ve been trying to stay busy with some house projects and making sure everything is ready for baby’s parents to be back here with us in just under 2 weeks now but I’m also making sure I rest and put my feet up when I can! I’ve stocked u...
