Wow, 21 weeks already! Time is flying by now. We received our scan last night, both baby and Jyoti are doing well. They did the full anatomy scan this time and took measurements of all the bones and organs, thankfully everything is normal, baby is measuring 21 weeks and 2 days so just a bit ahead.
It is still very surreal to see this little baby growing 7,854 km away from us and it is actually our baby. Everyone going through surrogacy knows exactly what I mean and how we never stop worrying until the baby is born and placed into your arms. CharlieCat wrote a post a few weeks ago called surrogacy pains and it sums up exactly what we go through and feel during this amazing journey to become parents.
So now the countdown is on:
3 weeks until the baby is hopefully able to survive if he/she is born early
4 weeks until the next scan
6 weeks until we start the 3rd trimester
That's about as far ahead as we are looking at the moment, this weekend we are going to order the nursery furniture and decide on paint colours etc as December will be here before we know it.
Here are 2 pics from the latest scan.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful - just beautiful. Sitting here in India now and life is just so wonderful. Can't wait to follow your time in India.
ReplyDeleteLove the pics, how amazing is this whole journey! At times it's very surreal. Glad all the measurements and scans are good too. Enjoy decorating the nursery.
ReplyDeleteHow every exciting!. I guess the easy part is deciding on the paint etc for the nursery - whilst the nerves and worry continues!.
