Surrogacy Update :)

I took my IM to get an elective ultrasound done while she was in town! It was so amazing to watch her see her baby on the ultrasound for the first time! She instantly fell in love with her baby and her face was absolutely priceless!

We also got our Amnio Results back and Baby is perfectly healthy! We also found out the gender of this little Surro Babe!!

Football & Cheer Mom!

Football and Cheer are in full swing and we had our first unofficial game of the season on saturday! The boys played hard but lost their first game. DJ told me "I'm sad that we lost but at least I gave my 100%!" And right there is all we ask!

Reagan is doing great with her cheering and is constantly walking around the house doing her cheers. I swear that kid does not stop moving lol. Here are a few pics from their game!

Happy Monday!!!!

Lately...

Things have been pretty busy this whole summer..

The kids are doing great and have had a great summer with a bunch of fun playdates and birthdays! DJ and Reagan start school in EIGHT Days!!! It's completely crazy that I will have a Kindergartner and a First Grader! DJ is more than ready for school to start so he can see his friends! Reagan is excited but she is also very nervous since she is really shy. DJ and Reagan both got bikes for their birthdays and have been riding them non stop! It took DJ 20 minutes to learn how to ride a bike without his training wheels or Stabilizers as DJ puts it! Reagan, not so much... She will need a little more practice :)

Both DJ and Reagan have started Practice for Football & Cheer! They are both loving it! Reagan is both the youngest and the tiniest one out there. It takes her a little longer to get the cheers down, but she is not giving up! She is such a trooper out there! DJ is having a blast and is one of the fastest kids out there! They are so excited!!

Allen is a crazy 2 1/2 year old and is getting into everything! A few weeks ago, Allen and DJ crashed their bikes into each other and Allen got a chipped tooth and bruised gums. I called his dentist and they said that if he is not having trouble eating or is not in any pain, not to worry about bringing him into the office until his appt. The day of the appt, I was helping Allen brush his teeth and I noticed that the tooth under the bruised gums was turning grey :( So I took him in on Friday and he was such a trooper. He loves the dentist! Well, after the dentist came in and looked at his teeth, it was confirmed that his front tooth was dead :( We are now being referred to a pediatric dentist. Poor little guy...

Also....

With my Surrogacy Updates...

I had my transfer on 7/28 and had a positive hpt at just 5dpt!!! So that means that My IP's are going to be PARENTS!!!!! I am beyond excited for them! I go in for my betas on Friday!!!

Happy Hump Day!!!

Happy 5th Birthday Miss Reagan!!!

Reagan wanted a Lalaloopsy Birthday Party this past weekend! She had so much fun and loved that everyone came over to celebrate her!

Here is the recap!

Thank you everyone who came out!!!

It's almost time!!!

{From my Surro Blog}

WOW!!!

I can't believe that it's almost time to head down to la! In exactly two weeks, I will hopefully be at my fertility clinic getting ready to have 2 embryos transferred!! It's been a long time coming and I am so excited, nervous, anxious and ready for this day to get here!!

I had my first of many labs last Tuesday to measure my progesterone & estradiol levels. My estradiol was 15 and progesterone was 0.7. So both numbers were great! I've taken 2 delestrogen IM injections and have my second set of labs today and should get the results today :)

Dave and I like to talk to the kids about our IP's and why Mommy has been giving herself shots everyday. They know who they are if we show them their picture. They said that they can't wait to meet them and their baby :)

Sorry for not updating, my laptop is still broke and we've been so busy... Plus i'm on my phone doing this!


So there ya have it!!! Less than 2 weeks away!!
