24 weeks!! and Thank you

Firstly, thank you to everyone for your kind messages of support over losing Delta, it's so nice that we have the support from friends, family and of course our surro family, whom we have never met personally but have been brought together through Surrogacy.


Now for the good stuff, no official news but what a relief to be at 24 weeks. It is a real milestone, if the baby was to be born this early there is a 50% chance of survival, by 28 weeks it jump to 90%, of course we are praying that this little one stays put for at least another 13 weeks so we can both be there in India when he/she is born.


These are the stats for 24 weeks:





Baby Size
13.5 in or 34.5cm
and the size of a rutabaga - apparently this is like a swede

Baby Weight
1.5 lb or 680g

Baby
Your baby's body parts are continuing to become more proportional to each other. Baby fat is also continuing to fill in your baby's wrinkled skin for a smoother look and more hair is growing, developing texture and color.


Congratulations to all who have had fantastic news in the past few weeks, it is so awesome to be able to follow others on their journey to parenthood, following blogs becomes very addictive and I have passed this addiction on to the girls at work. Every morning we check for updates and we have a chat about who's waiting for tests, scans or who has had babies. It has been a very emotional office over the past few months. They too feel part of our surro family.


Our next scan should be here next week, so stay tuned for an update.
