Well, today we are 18 weeks pregnant!! We are sooooo happy!! We received an email informing us that our surrogate was iron deficient and the high dose oral iron tablets were making her sick, so iron transfusions are required. We feel terrible that she is having to go through this, but apparently iron deficiency causes fatigue and I am sure she is anxious to feel better. She has had no adverse reactions to the treatments, thank the Lord. Sometime between weeks 18 and 22 we are supposed to receive a 3D ultrasound. We are very anxious to receive it. We are praying for Babykins and our surrogate daily.
We haven't worked on the nursery recently as we have been really busy with work. We still need to change the ceiling fan and Ralph is going to put a custom closet in the unit on the closet to make additional space. Hopefully we can get to it in the next few weeks.
We still need to find a pediatrician. We have been given the names of a couple of doctors that our friends use. One doctor is located in the next town over, but his physician's assistant lives here locally. We were told that the PA will make a home visit if the baby gets sick in the off hours. If we like the physician, we will probably use him so we can have the convenience of house calls.
Please keep praying for Babykins and Mary. We will post the 3D scan as soon as we receive it.
