Last night I had a dream. I dreamed that I was pregnant. Like waaaaayyyyyyy pregnant, but only sort of. And I couldn't figure out if there were twins in there or a singleton or if I wasn't really pregnant at all (because my stomach kept changing from very pregnant to normal size). I was pleased until I realized - holy crap - we already have twins on the way with my SIL surrogate!!! How was I going to handle more at once? How was I going to handle twin newborns with more arriving right around the corner. I was in the hospital and it was oh so confusing.
It was a very weird dream.
Then I woke and felt relief. Probably best to leave the analysis of that one alone. :-)
On other news fronts, stuff seems to be coming along fine. For the most part. SIL got a positive on her glucose test and so she has to go back for the 3 hour test to check for gestational diabetes. I've been told it's quite horrid. 3 hours of drinking this big ole thing of sickly sweet stuff that makes you want to barf and sleep the rest of the day. She has school orientation with most of her children later that day. Major suckage. Even more major if she does have GD.
Babies are doing well. Viking-Boy was 3lbs 4 oz at our last visit and Girlie-Girl was a respectable 2lbs 14oz. He is still facing down towards the exit and that's a good thing. If possible, my SIL would prefer to have a Vajayjay delivery. I don't blame her. It's key that the boy be head down for this to be possible. They can flip the girl if needed, but not vice-versa (or both).
We are at 31 weeks. Holy crap. So much left to do. STAY IN THE OVEN FOR AS LONG AS YOU CAN!!!
My Bestie is coming in from NJ to throw my baby shower with my mom and another great friend. I truly have some spectacularly awesome friends. Every once in awhile I just sit in awe when I think of it.
On the subject of baby shower - I was thinking today that I need to get something for my SIL for the baby shower. Don't know why I didn't think of it earlier. How boring for her to sit at my shower and watch me get a ton of gifts while she does all the work. But what to get her??? And does she open it there? Then it seems more like a "show" of gratitude than anything else. And really - nothing I could get would ever even come close to what she has done for us.
If you have any idea of what I can get her - light up my comment section. She has 4 kids (3 of them step-children) of various ages (5-14). Maybe I should get something for all of them and her?
That's it for now. Off to to one of the 100 task I still have left on my list.

Why not a day or a weekend at a spa - to use after your bubs are born?
ReplyDeleteSo happy to read that all's well with you and the little ones. Stay in,beanies!
Hugs from Skåne :D
That's a great idea! She not one to normally treat herself with something like that.
DeleteYes i was thinking of a holiday for them all or a weekend spa for her for after babies are born?
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! xxxx
Great idea as well!
DeleteI think a beauty treatment/spa/massage is a great idea!
ReplyDeleteWow can't believe you are at 31 weeks already!!
Please look at our blog, we are hoping to promote debate: http://concernedaboutsurrogacyinindia.blogspot.com.au/
ReplyDeleteI really like the above suggestions. What a great idea to give her a gift. Of course it doesn't compare with the gift she is giving you, but there isn't really anything that truly can compare. I'm sure she would really appreciate the gesture. I am in awe that you are 31 weeks! I'm realizing more and more every day how fast time is going. And yet, it seems to crawl as well. How is that possible?
ReplyDeleteHow's everything? Long time since I heard from you!? Hugs from Sweden!
ReplyDeleteI just found your blog and I'm so glad I did-I've been thinking about surrogacy all day. (with our next child bearing possibilities unknown) thanks for writing this blog. Yay for new blogging buddies
