Attended third ultrasound appointment

We had the third ultrasound after the pregnancy was confirmed and attended the ultrasound for the first time. Seeing both babies beating their hearts strong and continuing to develop according to gestational weeks were just incredible. We know they both are in a safe place being well taken care of.

Our surrogate has been experiencing morning sickness in addition to her daily progesterone shot. We so wish we have ways to ease her discomforts than simply giving her our support. We are counting down the days when she will be off the shot and just "enjoy" the pregnancy.

Here are the heartbeats of the babies. Both are measured well with strong heartbeats.

Baby A - the one close to the cervix and also was the first gestational sac found, hence A. It beats 143 per minute and measured 7 weeks 4 days according to gestational age.

Baby B - beats 150 per minute, measured 7 weeks 3 days. 

The ultrasound appointment was fairly quick. The birthing center was very welcoming and its staff were so friendly and exciting of our visit. Our surrogate introduced us as the "daddies" for the first time, it felt strange but we will have a few months to get used to it. 

Our few hours of visit was short but sweet. We were glad to spend time together eating and playing, especially with their kids at a science center. It was a lot of fun and we can't wait to see them again. After saying bye, we headed straight to the airport and came back home. 

Next Wednesday will be the last ultrasound before our surrogate is discharged from our fertility clinic to her OB.
