5 Month Delight!

Much to our delight we received our amazing 3D scans 1 week early at 19 weeks.

We are relieved once again to hear that Mrs M is doing really well and the babies have been making fantastic progress.  Babies are only a few days shy of 20 weeks so looks like we have a couple of bananas at the moment.

B1 was measuring 19 weeks and 3 days at the time of the scan.  New measurements are BPD 46mm, HC 166mm, AC 134mm, FL 30mm and EFW 278gms.  All other details from the 16 week scan remain unchanged which is great.

B2 was measuring 19 weeks and 0 days at the time of the scan.  New measurements are BPD 43mm, HC 163mm, AC 127mm, FL 30mm and EFW 264gms.  All other details from the 16 week scan remain unchanged which is also great.

We continue to pray every day and night that Mrs M and the babies progress through this pregnancy well, as we pray also for the other surrogates, babies and IP's.  

Thank you to all our friends and family for their support...you keep us grounded when our thoughts and worries start to drift off between India and home.

These scans could not have come at a better time for us as we were starting to get the case of the 'nerves before next update thing' which now we can see everything is fine...so we're fine.

Week 17...half way there!

We received our 16 week scan and report during the week and are of course over the moon in hearing that everything with Mrs M and babies is just fine.  So it's all oranges and onions for week 17!

B1 was measuring 16 weeks and 3 days at time of scan.  New measurements are BPD 34mm, HC 126mm, AC 105mm, FL 21mm and EFW 156gms.  Nasal bone is seen.  Fetal head shows normal ventricular system.  The fetal spine, limbs, cord insertion, 3 vessel cord, KUB, four chamber view of heart, stomach bubble show no obvious abnormality.

So we are very blessed that everything is continuing to go well for Mrs M and the babies and we are so so grateful for this pregnancy.

We are passing the time attempting to de-clutter the house and prepare the nursery.  We've given ourselves the next couple of months for this mammoth task (only like 8 weekends really eek!).  We are hoping to then focus on the paperwork, visa's, DNA test, flights, accom etc...in the last couple of months before we head over to Delhi to be united with our precious little ones.

Our highlight of the week was the absolute joy of sharing our news with our 100 year old relative which is something we never though we would be able to do!

As always cyber hugs to all those in surro blogland, we will continue to pray for you all on your journeys (through the highs and the lows). A a huge thank you to our friends and family who continue to support us on our journey to parenthood... thank you xxx.

We'll sign off with Mr onion now....happy 17 weeks Mrs M and babies
