Before you go assuming the nurse didn’t know what she was
doing or something please know she is the same nurse that always does it and
she is fabulous and we’ve never had this problem before. I love Dr. L’s whole office and staff (and
yes I just got defensive).
Sometime between poke 1 and poke 2 I heard a familiar voice
and was excited to see JZ (the translator) who was there with another
couple. I said hi as he passed in the hall
and he stopped in to say hi and read me a super sweet email from my IP
(intended parents). I really do love my
IP.
I have had several people ask me recently about the
citizenship of the baby (babies) and to be honest I’m exactly sure how it will
work. Although biologically the babies
are 100% the Intended Mom and Intended Father I’m not sure how that works. I do know sometime before the birth there is
something done that gives the IP legal parental rights to their baby.
So since it is all theirs AND they are considered the legal
parents my guess is the babies will be Chinese citizens, but that is purely a guess.
For those of you that do not know my IP are from China (born
and raised). Which is one of the
exciting parts about this pregnancy to begin with…I get to deliver a Chinese
baby!
And just a general update on the pregnancy…
My HCG levels are now at 19,000! That’s a massive jump from
last week which is great news. I have an
ultrasound scheduled for 12/27 to hear the little (and rapid) heartbeat(s) for
the first time and hopefully get to see how many little ones I have in there.
Also coming sometime this week (or maybe early next) I have
a surrogacy FAQ I’ve been working on for a couple of weeks. All of the questions (well most of the
questions) I’ve been asked by people over last few weeks, usually by several
different people. So if you have
anything you want to know or questions you’ve been dying to ask please let me
know and I’ll be happy to respond!
