It's me, "K"....

*This blog is not meant to take any thing away from Niki's nursery blog, it is far more important* ....this is unfortunately one of the few spare moments I have to post!

What's new with me: MY PIO BUTT SHOTS ARE ALMOST OVER...I've been getting shots in my bum for at least 16 weeks, and for quite a while 2x/day! Thursday night I will receive my last shot and would like all who are willing to say a toast to no more sore butt!

This of course means other grand things...like we're entering the 2nd trimester! YIPPEEE Friday is the 12 week mark and we couldn't be more elated! HOWEVER, sweet little Niki (and many more of you infertiles) have taught me that 12 weeks isn't always the safe point (which my naive self once believed). So I will continue to pray, be safe and care for Niki and J's sweet little twins the best I can, but each milestone deserves to be celebrated and I am a firm believer in a positive attitude!

Tomorrow we have our NT ultrasound, a little piece of me is nervous, but my ever growing abdomen leads me to believe that everything is perfect!

Happy hopeful thoughts to all of you!

K! You're the greatest! =)

As a fellow infertile who will need the assistance of a surrogate to meet her bio babies, I am so humbled and overjoyed by the gift you are giving Niki and J.

And Horray for no more PIO! You're a trooper. =)

I can't believe the first trimester is already over! Time really does fly.

Take care of yourself, and keep up the good work. =)

WOO HOO for no more PIO! I'm sure your butt will enjoy the break.

Always good to hear from you :)

You know with twins you have gained even more ground since 36 weeks = term! So 12 weeks is officially 33% complete! How's that for a positive spin? :)

K, what do you think you're growing for Niki and J? Boys? Girls? One of each?

Niki, what flavor of babies do you think K is growing for you guys?

Well wishes for the NT scan and so glad you're all heading into second trimester so smoothly.

Niki is so blessed to have you. :) What a great and uplifting post, and I can't WAIT to hear tomorrow about the NT scan!

Yes I was high risk with my daughter since I had my son at 33 weeks due to severe Preeclampsia. Everyday was a milestone and once I reached 33 weeks and more it was better. I pray everything goes well for you all tomorrow and a very uneventful next 6 months!

Keep those babies cookin!!!

Hi k!
Glad your back and posting, I have been cheering you on from up here!! You are doing great and the PIO will be over soon (your poor butt). Try not to worry about the scan, I am sure that little A and B will be just fine.

Found this blog through bustedbabymakers.
I must say that you are an amazing person for doing this for your cousin. My heart is moved. I believe that God puts this desire to do this into special people. I have always had the desire to be a surrogate, but I'm not sure if I will ever get a chance to do this for someone. Perhaps one day.

May God be with you all as you go on this wonderful journey together. I look forward to keeping up w/ you guys via this blog.

Thought and Prayers, Sarah

YAY for the end of PIO. It's been over 11 weeks since I stopped it and I still have some numbness and soreness. You are awesome to do this for Niki and J.
