19-22 Week Update

Hey everyone!

It has been about a month since I posted last (oops). But there has not been too much to report. I am doing great! Feeling healthy and wonderful. We had our anatomy scan about three weeks ago now and everything with baby girl is perfect! She did not want to cooperate and let us get very good photos of her face. It also took quite a bit to get her spine measurements because she had her back pushed all the way up against my right side. She is head down as of now, and better still be that way by the time D-Day comes. Ha.



Now that we are over half way to my due date, I am starting to think of how I would like her birth to go. I have been reading and studying something called Hypnobirthing. From all of the research that I have done, a lot of women that have used this kind of technique have had almost "painless" births. Pretty much how it works is taking all of the pain and pressure you are feeling and just being so deep in tune with your body, that you can channel the pain you are feeling to really help your baby out. To birth without pain and fear. I have watched quite a few births now (YouTube mostly) I am 100% confident. I won't go on and on about it, but if you want to learn more you can here. This book so far has been great and very informative.

I  am feeling a lot more movement now too. She is super active almost all day. They say babies sleep up to 18 hours per day, she does not. Ha. I am starting to see her move on the outside, but it is still very subtle. Once I can see it more, I will be post a video. I love feeling and watching her move. To me this is the best part of pregnancy! I have my next appointment tomorrow, just a simple check up. My next appointment after this one, I am pretty sure I will have to test for Gestational Diabetes. Where you have to drink the orange or clear stuff. I am hoping for the clear, the taste of the orange will probably make me throw up. Haha.

Well that is all for now! Once I start having check-ups every two weeks I will start updating every two weeks! If anyone has any questions about surrogacy or wanting to become a surrogate, please feel free to comment or send me a pm! ♥
