Ick...is how I feel

I have not felt very well after my internal ultrasound...I had some bleeding that worried me but the Doctor said it is fine. Now I think I have a little cold that I hope I get over soon. I have a lot going on right now and being sick is not on the schedule.
I have one more ultrasound before the fertility doctor releases me. I hope I do not feel this way for a week after that ultrasound! Back to bed I go

Stop the presses....News, News, News!

I just found out that I will not be going to D.C. but the parents are going to come here!!! I am so excited! No definite date has been set but it should be around the end of November. I will be able to share with them a part of my life and hopefully plant a seed of Christianity in their hearts. They are coming around this time so that they can be here to see the baby and find out if it is a boy or girl but they do not have a preference.
They sound so nice. I was told that when I had my first ultrasound the father was txting over and over to find out how it went, just so excited. I am very glad to hear this because it shows me how much they care and want to be involved even though they are so faraway. I really would like to be able to speak to them in their own language. I know a little but not enough to have a conversation but I am not working hard enough on it, pray for me.

Pregnancy in full swing

I feel so pregnant even though I am only in my 9th week! I am having weird dreams, cravings I can't shake, my top half is busting out of every bra I own (hubby is happy), and I my bottom half...that would be a long list. Don't get me wrong I love being pregnant there are still things I don't like. This pregnancy has been very different from my others because of the hormones that I am taking to help the baby stay put. They have made everything get bigger faster! It has been annoying taking the hormones but it is worth it to help this family have a baby of their own. I am actually lucky because most of the time you have to take way more meds!
Not all of what is going on is bad. I get to eat what I crave and not worry about it, I like that very much! I need new cloths because I already do not fit in to my regular cloths. Shopping? Great! I knew what I wanted, went to the first store I thought of, and there it was...I great deal on some cute dresses. After my 12th week I will get some pregnancy clothes but I only have so many cloths I can wear now. I needed the dresses and they will last a long time even after I have the baby.

Peanut in my belly!

Yesterday i went for my 2nd ultrasound it is great to see the baby!

All the way to NY for a 10 min ultrasound...but it was worth it to hear the little baby's heartbeat.

All booked and ready to go

I found a friend to come with me on my all expense paid trip to New York City (for the sonogram). I know we will have a great time! I hope we can see a lot in the short time we are going to be there. We have our flight plans, our hotel, and they are for the right day and in the right name this time, which is a plus!
When I was putting my son to bed he said he wanted to see the baby in my belly. So cute! I told him I will bring back lots of pictures of the baby when I come back from New York. Then we talked about the baby not being our. I told him it is a Chinese baby so it cannot be ours. His reply was, "Yes it can, I like Chinese food." I just busted up laughing! We talked it over and he is starting to understand that I am doing this to help another family have a baby because they cannot. He was happy in the end.
I am also very excited to see the baby! I will be in my eighth week so they should be able to see the baby pretty good. We will not be able to see if it is a boy or girl yet...we have a ways to go for that.
In some bad news I talked to the Chinese Coordinator over a week ago about some questions about the parents and she has not gotten back to me yet. Frustrating, but I know it takes time to get messages pasted along. This is how it has to be because of the language and time difference....I need to keep up on my Chinese lessons if I want it to be any better.
