33 weeks update !!

23rd Oct. 2018

As we are approaching towards the last month of our surrogacy, there is really nothing much to update.. The bump is expanding.. surrogate's health is top notch.. and my dear baby is growing in a steady pace..  We are 8.5 months into our pregnancy now.. and i can't explain how happy i am to be at this stage..

As usual we had our ultrasound today. And the baby now weighs around 2.3kgs.

Me n Pratik still go to the ultrasounds every 15 days, even though the scan now happens every week.

Doctor says there is no need for us to come to the hospital every week.. and i do agree.. Since i only get like 5 mins to meet the surrogate.. so it hardly makes a difference. But i do get regular updates from the assistant doctors. 

Today at the scan i felt very calm and satisfied. Things have been going great and i just feel at peace. Its hard to believe, but you kinda do acknowledge this kind of feeling after years of tears and sadness.

All i can say is that, i am loving it ! And as the days pass by i am getting more and more excited.. !!!

Less than 5 weeks to go.. darling baby !!! 💖

31 weeks !!! Update !!

10th Oct. 2018

After almost 3 weeks we went for the ultrasound. We had been to Pondicherry for a small relaxing vacation and came back excited to see our angel after so many days. 

This time our appointment was at the old hospital where the surrogate was admitted. It was little weird being there as we were used to the new hospital and it’s staff. 

Anyway, when my surrogate came downstairs for the ultrasound I could see that hugggee bump !! Omg !! It’s almost like there is a football inside 😁

As the ultrasound was happening I realised it’s more difficult to distinguish baby’s parts, now that he is getting big. So it was hard to get a proper picture. 

As you can see above, it’s hard to know what part this is 🙈

Anyway, I was happy to know that now my baby weights around 1.9kgs. Although the weight is a bit much for a 31 week baby, my doctor assured that everything is normal. Also my surrogate’s sugar is in control. 

One exciting thing my doctor told me is that, seeing the growth of the baby, there might be a possibility that baby could arrive as early as 20 November.. but she will try that the baby stays inside for a little more time. Doctor told me to be prepared for the arrival between 20-30 November !!! Wowww !! I am so excited !! 

So by the new due dates, I have less than 50 days to go !! Yayyy 😃😃

Can’t wait!! 💖

Best Baby Shower Surprise Ever !!

8th Oct. 2018

As i came out of my morning shower, I saw Pratik standing with a bouquet of roses in his hand outside my bathroom.. And the only question in my mind was... "Pratik got me flowers!!??"
Later, he told me that they are from my elder sister.. I got really surprised and called her up and asked .."What is this!?"

She told me that she has planned some surprises for me which i will get one by one today..

I got realllyy excited... and was thinking what has she really planned.??  Later i got to know that not just my elder sister, but my parents as well as my younger sis is involved in this surprise.. n that made me more curious as to whats gonna happen next..

After a few hours came another surprise... My door bell rang n there i saw a guy from swiggy with a box of mini cupcakes...  He handed them to me n told me that they are from priyanka.. 

Ohh.. so second one is a sweet surprise.. i like where this is going...

But what was more surprising was.. when i called up my sis she told me not to eat them and wait till the next surprise.. that made me more curious and excited...

It was lunch time and i had to go upstairs to have lunch.. but there i was.. waiting for my next surprise to arrive.. i waited till 2.. but then had to go up to have lunch... After i came down.. few mins later my door bell rang.. n there was this courier guy holding a hugeee box.. 😮😮

Omg !! Omg !! what is this !!!
As i opened the box i saw a few things inside and a note outside the box..  I immediately told preksha bhabhi to record my reaction video so that i can send it to my sisters n parents..

There were chocolates, a dress for me, wallet for pratik, a bag, a baby book, baby clothes kit, mom to be goodies and some lovely greeting cards... with cute messages on each of them..

I was sooo sooo happy with this surprise.. I just can't express in words.. It was wayy beyond my expectations.. As i said in my last post.. It was clear in my mind that i should not have a baby shower.. But this.. wow !! This just tells how much my family loves me and i am so overwhelmed by such a sweet gesture.. All 4 of you are my life.. and our love is so unconditional.. 

You guys made my day... and its been long since i have felt so special... 

Just.. a huge hug !!! and a big big thanx !
