19 weeks, wow how time flys when you are having fun!!
I can't believe Mackenzie is 19 weeks old already, sometimes it feels like time is passing too quick but I am very lucky that I get to be a stay at home mum until December.
Mackenzie is still a dream baby, she is still sleeping through the night, she has her last feed at 6.30pm and then we don''t hear a peep from her until about 7am. We have recently started giving her solids, what a fun stage this is, it is so funny to watch their facial expression when tasting something new for the first time!! So far she loves pears, apples and sweet potato that I have cooked and I have tried her on some organic shop bought food too and geez some of the flavours are just plain weird but so far she likes everything.
We saw the paediatrician for her 3 month check up 5 weeks ago and he was so shocked at how big she is and was pleasantly surprised at how advanced her development is, I am totally taking credit for it!!
Her stats at 14 weeks were
Weight: 7kg
Length: 64.5cm
We took her to have her 4 month shots but she had a slight temperature due to teething, no teeth yet but they must be coming, she has the rosiest cheeks and drooling like there is no tomorrow. So we decided to wait until I get back from Melbourne to do them.
So Mackenzie and I are in Melbourne as we speak or blog, we arrived yesterday arvo and we are here for the Surrogacy Australia Conference. They flight from Perth was great, I used my points to fly business class, we both totally are getting used to this level of comfort while travelling!!
We are staying just around the corner from the Rydges where the conference is being held which starts tomorrow, Dr Shivani is speaking, so hopefully I will get a chance to say Hi and show her how big our girl has gotten. There are a lot of other guest speakers from other countries that have surrogacy programs and also people talking about their journeys to create their families. Here is a link to the Surrogacy Australia website with details about the conference.
I want to say congratulations to all those in blogland whose babies have arrived, there has been a baby boom in blogland recently and to those who have had positive betas and heartbeat ultrasounds congrats also.
My heart aches for those who haven't had good news, my only advice is to never give up, it was this time last year on the 20th May that we had received the most amazing news that our surrogate Jyoti was pregnant and here we are today with a beautiful, healthy little girl, miracles do happen!
Now for some pics of our princess and I promise to be a better blogger and post regular updates!!
