We still do not have pics up. Soooo sorry. That is because we all are super busy. Jeffrey is a cowboy in charge of many acres of cows, Jennifer has her 9-5 job and I do babysitting daily. About 7 kids per day.
I had to fit in a tooth repair today, but I am fine.
I reason for my post today is because we learned somthing new the other day. Thanks to our lawyer he told us there is a difference between surrogacy and gestational carrier. You are a surrogate ONLY if you are directly related to the intended parents. Either related to mom or dad. For example if Jennifer was my sister, I would be the surrogate. I am not related to either of them so that makes me the gestational carrier. Thanks to Jennifer for changing our blog name from "God's Percious Gift Thorough Surrogacy" to "God's Precious Gift Through a Very Special Gestational Carrier"!!

Babes from the start!!
I am sooooo far behind it's a bit ridiculous. We have had 2 doctor appointments since I posted last. I have been incredibally busy and a little on the puny side. We do have pics from both of the appointments which will be posted soon. The first appointment was the last at the fertility doctor. We had our ultrasound that day and they are growing. Jolly rancher size!!! They were about 1 1/2 inches long and lookin' good. We do appreciate our fertility doctor and were pleased with the kindness and care we recieved from them.
Our last appointment was with the new doc. Dr. Watkins. We met him yesterday and answered a lot of questions. A lot of questions!! We briefly discussed delivery and things like that but mostly it was family history and how this even got started!! When we finally got around to the physical part of the appointment, doc could find only 1 heartbeat. I was not worried at all, but we did end up with another ultrasound just to double check. Everything is fine. Both babies were moving around and Baby B is a real mover!! "B" was moving it's hand around even had it up to it's mouth. B was also pushing on A's sac. I told Jeffrey to get his child under control!!! Baby A was not as active. Just chillin'. I wonder if that is a sign of things to come!?
I have been glad we have had a chance to see them at every appointment thus far. I know we won't see them next time, but it's been sooooo neat to see how they have changed in just a couple weeks between visits. I am totally convinced that they have been real babies since the first day!!! God has made them and noone will ever convince me that they were ever just 'cells'.
I will work on getting pics and you can see how they have changed. The nurse yesterday said it was a little tough to get them both in the same picture. Next time we see them, hopefully, we will see 'parts'!!!!
