Crazy wonderful!!!!

My emotions were up and down all this week. Before the parents arrival I was freaking out organizing my house and cleaning. I needed to do a lot and of course I waited till the last moment to start what I needed to do. I was so nervous to meet the parents and Karrina shared with me that she was too. That made me less nervous and I was able to calm down. The good thing was that the parents did not come at the time that they were supposed to so I had more time! Yeah! I got all the pictures on my walls that I wanted to get up and I almost went through all the boxes that I needed to go through. I still have a couple of boxes that I will go through. I need to do one box a week or something, but I am more of an all or nothing girl. When I get the cleaning bug I just need to do it all. I also rearranged our living room to the way I have wanted it since we moved in. I like it much better!
When the parents got here on Tuesday we hit it off right away, I was so glad! We went to dinner and were there for about 3 hours just talking and learning about each other. The parents do speak some English, the husband more than the wife but we thankfully had two translators to interpret for us. The mother will spend a little more time here than the father but not much when the baby comes. They might come back around Chinese New Year which is in February. Karrina was excited because they might be here for her birthday. Karrina really likes the Mother she could not stop crying when they left. I can't believe that she got so attached to her in such a short time. Kaileb and the father were talking at dinner the first night it was great to watch. It was so loud in the restaurant but they were sitting together having their own conversation. I was very happy that the parents took a interest in my children they should me that they will be very loving with their own children.
During our conversations the Mother told me that they would like me to pump for the baby for the time that they are here. I am glad they want this because I think it is best for the baby. I hope I have enough milk and it all comes out ok, so to speak. They are glad that the baby will be an American citizen so that he will be able to go to an American school in China. There he will learn the English and Chinese language. They also want 3 children total! That is very exciting and the law stopping them from have more than one child does not apply because the child is not born in China. They would like me to carry the other children which would be great because then they do not have to get to know a new surrogate. I want to be a surrogate again so this is a great option for me because I will not have to find new parents. We have no agreement now but it is something to look forward to.
On Wednesday we had the ultrasound and it went great! It was great to see the baby and even the better to see how excited the parents were to see the baby! I do not know how to describe what I feel when I see the baby. I guess you would call it love...it is like when you see a baby and you just want to hold it and kiss it, that is what I feel when I see the baby. I know that the parents must feel the same way but even more so because it is their own.
That night we went out for dinner at Mandalay Bay it was a beautiful restaurant. Allen's parents and grand parents were able to come and meet the parents. It was great to eat wonderful food and watch them all learn more about each other. We (our family) is very interested in the Chinese culture and how it all works. We hear a lot of things that are different than we think or are told they are about China. China is also such a big country things are different in different parts of China. I am very happy to have learned more about the parents and their culture. They are good people and I am so happy that we were brought together in this way.
