Ultrasound!

Ok...so this morning was hectic! Got a little lost in the airport but finally picked up "O". We were super early to the Dr office, which is typical of us! We are always SUPER early! We checked in at the OB station and went to the waiting room.... the nurse called me back, took my vitals and the Dr came in. They did a quick pap and wheeled the ultrasound machine in! They ran and got "O" and then we started the ultrasound! It was so amazing...I saw the little flickering of the heartbeat. I got a little teary eyed, but it was different then seeing my own. I was more detached. Which is good, because it isn't my own pregnancy. But it is totally reassuring that I am MEANT to do surrogacy. It was more of a relief. Not just for me. Being a surrogate is different. You have this family relying on you to have a healthy pregnancy...so I was more nervous of something going wrong and feeling like it was somehow MY fault. So it is SUCH a relief to see that there is ONE...yes I said it ONE healthy baby with a wonderful heartbeat. And I am measuring exactly on time. 7 weeks and 1 day.

We left and went and had an early lunch. It was yummy! Then I dropped daddy "O" off at the airport and we said good bye. I feel like so much has gone on today and I am super tired! Maybe it's from being so excited and anxious! haha...I feel like I can relax now and just let it be! This has been such a wonderful day! I am so happy and blessed... :)
