Having a baby by email....

means sometimes there is miscommunication. Our surrogate did not have a scan today like we were expecting instead she is scheduled for her next scan in two weeks.  The good news is she is doing well and as usual the motto during this pregnancy is "no news is good news".  We know that all three of them are in good hands with Dr. Shivani and her staff.

We are into our 23rd week of pregnancy!  Our apartment is starting to look like two new residents will soon be moving in.  We have a large storage unit from ikea that is beginning to fill with baby stuff.  All major gear decisions have been made - crib, mattress and stroller - but nothing purchased yet.  We will soon be scheduling infant cpr class and an appointment to interview the pediatrician I have picked out for TO and TT.

We are also very thankful to this little guy...the soon to be "big" cousin for letting us borrow all of his baby stuff!  If we have a boy (or two) he is all set for clothes! 


We will be happy to hit Week 24, known as the first week of viability!  Here is to hoping that TO and TT stay put for another 12 weeks and don't cause our surrogate too much trouble.

Hope the next 12 weeks are as boring and uncomplicated as can be!!!!!!! We only started to buy seriously for our baby about the same time as you, but when we got the confidence to start shopping, BOY DID WE SHOP!!!!!!! Enjoy every minute of it!!!!!! x

Email...confusion! It is hard. We wished we could have a scan every week (totally not realistic or safe),but just to feel connected.
Two weeks isn't too too long to wait...

For what it is worth, if we went through another pregnancy again, we'd request less scans.
As much as we enjoyed receiving them, we had a gut (and very unscientific) feeling that the frequency of tests and scans may have contributed to two premature births.
It all worked out fine in the end but the anticipation of the 'next' scan made us positively kooky some times....
BUT I TOTALLY know how you feel. Best wishes for boredom before your excitement!!

Thanks for the comments!

Adam and Michael - I hope you are enjoying your time in Delhi with Beau! Once we "officially" start the shopping, I am sure we will go a bit crazy!



Edward - the anticipation of the next scan drives me crazy for a few days. It was disappointing to know that I was, as you put it, kooky for two days for no reasons.
