Thanks for the well wishes. Our surrogate, Victoria, is one month (maybe one more week) pregnant. The doctor informed us that at the least, we can expect 2 so I don't know why I keep thinking that there is going to be one. But until I see and hear an ultrasound with multiple heartbeats, I'm going to think singularly.
We're having an ultrasound done Wednesday so you guys will know as soon as I do.
So, in theory we should be expecting our baby (or babies!) somewhere around April.
Yeah, we're professionals.
And ironically, I started college with the intention of attending medical school. My father is an anesthesiologist and his dad was a doctor as was his dad, so I come from a medical family. I'm getting my masters to teach, but right around the time that I'll be graduating, we'll also be new parents so I'm going to have to put my career on hold.
Initially, we planned on having one baby and then adding others later. But with the nature of in vitro, it made more sense for us to try to fertilize more than one egg at a time. With the way we are doing in vitro the chance of multiples is virtually a given. I'm excited, but at the same time, I'm nervous. I would want my parents to be here.
I have to say, I totally have the urge to buy baby furniture. I've been on
www.poshtots.com every single day since she told us she was pregnant.
