I'm baaaaaaack!!

I think it's only right to start out with an apology...4 months without any updates is completely unacceptable but I promise if you had any idea of the madness going on (outside of the surrogacy) you'd forgive me! :) So, to pick up where I left off which is hard to believe was when I was SIX WEEKS! Phew...it has been a while! The pregnancy has luckily progressed without any complications. I'm just about to hit the 7 month mark and jump into the 3rd trimester, which again seems a little surreal. I swear it was just yesterday I was counting down the days until transfer, getting impatient because things seemed to be moving so slowly. Now only 3 months left and it all will be over?! Sorry..I'm having a moment...haha.
Anywho, it's a BOY! The due date has jumped around a bit after a few ultrasounds, plus who can really trust those things anyway? So I'm just going for mid January, but I wont start to freak out until February comes and I'm still pregnant. (Nooooo)...lol. Nothing unusual to speak of, everything seems to be going similarly as with my own babies. Slow weight gain to start. I had gained a total of 7 lbs at my last check up which was about 3 weeks ago, but I should just about triple that in the last trimester if I continue to follow trend. The parents needless to say are very excited about their little boy in the making :) A very active little boy he is too! I don't know how much I remember about this stage of pregnancy with my 2 kids, but I know that as of now, he moves so much that I only notice when he's not moving. His feet have already found a new resting place in my right rib cage which is very reminiscent of my daughter, and if the wives tales are true, then he must have a head full of hair because there isn't much I can eat without getting heartburn (also reminiscent of my daughter, who indeed had a head full of hair!)
I went to have 4D pictures taken to surprise the parents with but unfortunately all the babies I carry find the placenta to be super comfy so they bury their faces in them until about 8 months along when they don't have much choice in their position anymore. No trouble in finding out gender though, not with any of them! There will be no surprises on birth day! Which reminds me of a strange thought I keep having. As impressed as I  am with the miracle of life and pregnancy in general...I find it ultra amazing to think that there is a *clears throat* penis, being developed in my body. Ok, take a minute and laugh....but seriously... I don't have one, never will, but there is one growing inside of me. Is it just me that gets a kick out of that? Cause if it is, just blame it on the hormones. :P
So, I could end this entry promising never to spend that much time away, and to blog at least once a week, but one of the biggest things I've learned in the last few months is to NEVER say never. Life can change in an instant, and no matter how much of a control freak you are *raises hand*, it truly is beyond your control. I used to think that only those who had been in a situation could truly "judge" it, but now I know that those who have been there never would judge. So again, as pure as my intentions are right now to make regular updates, I'll only promise that I'll try my best :)
