So we are 25w4d today!  How am I feeling?  HEAVY.  As of this morning, I am still down 3 pounds.  I lost 10 and then gained 7 back.  My OB told me that he wanted at least 4 pounds per month and when he realized that wasn't happening, he has now requested no loss.  I can handle that.  I eat every few hours until I can eat no more.  I am still taking Zofran once a day because if I don't, I get sick.  I am going to the OB monthly.  I have a feeling that will be changing this next appointment.  I have started on the scrapbooks for the babies.  I have the first 6 pages completed in both.  I have also wrapped their gifts- 6 gifts each and they are placed in their 31 monogrammed basket.  I know I have a few weeks before I need to think about being ready for my trip to the hospital, but that is next on my to do list.  We also had our meeting with the lawyer for the pre birth order(PBO).  I did not care for his comments/remarks.  He was treating me like a knocked up 16 yo drug addict that was giving up my baby.  I was asked repeatedly if I was a drug user, smoker, alcoholic, etc and then was reminded repeatedly that I was giving up my rights and that I would have no say in their care or their lives once I signed the ppwk.  Then he called me a traditional surrogate and not a gestational surrogate.  My husband said that he was used to dealing with adoptions and that he didn't understand that this is something I signed up for and that of course I knew what I was doing and I absolutely do not use/abuse drugs, alcohol, or smoke.  Anyone that knows me personally would probably find it funny that I was even being asked.  I hope I do not have to see him again.  Anyway....I have been having a ton of BH.  I don't mind as long as they remain pain free and irregular.  Picture time!

I also have one of my IM that I would like to add...

I love this picture.  She is so sweet.

Until next time....
