Sharing The News Part Two

I started sharing my news of the surrogacy with more people at work this past week. It felt good to tell people about my journey and hear them express their surprise and encouragement for me. I am also going to share the news to "the world" facebook later today. I'm not really sure what to expect when I tell people, but I would just hope for them to be supportive and encouraging. Some people have asked to hear why and how I decided to become a surrogate and I have had to tell my story many times already and I am sure I will tell it many more times as the pregnancy continues. But that is OK, I enjoy telling it. I am excited and happy to be a surrogate and thrilled to be giving such an amazing gift to a special and deserving couple. 

Speaking of this amazing gift... the baby is doing great! We received the amniocentesis results last week and everything is perfectly normal. Baby is healthy and the intended parents have finally exhaled after holding their breaths for a few months now. I am currently 19 weeks pregnant, and still feeling great! I filled three big bottles of water to bring with me to work this morning and got a woah-that's-a-lot-of-water look from my husband this morning. I am trying to drink up as much water as I can, because I have been getting headaches here and there a few times a week lately and I am hoping it's just a lack of drinking enough water. I've also been bringing lots of food to snack on throughout the day at work as well. I am asleep by 9pm most nights, because I notice that I get really grumpy sleepy the next day if I haven't gotten my full eight hours the night before. Other than that, I feel like my usual self - though slightly larger in the tummy section. :) Excited for my next OB appointment, because the couple will be coming out from LA to meet the doctor as well. Can't wait to see them again! 

Up next: OB appointment on October 3rd
