37 Weeks Today

Just a quick post to say that we are going along quite nicely at 37 weeks today. Mr. Baby is probably around 9lbs right now (yikes!!). I go to bi-weekly NST testing and he is always a star performer. At my appointment next week we are going to discuss whether to let me go into labor on my own if the baby is not TOOOOO big or schedule a cesarean if he is. I don't really don't know. The only thing I do know, is that I don't want to be induced. Sounds like agony that leads to a cesarean. No thanks. Of course, I am trying to be flexible.
 
For now, the only thing we know for sure is that he is doing fine, I am hanging in there, and we will know more after next week. I can't believe that my lifetime dream of being pregnant and giving birth is going to come true. It is still so surreal. I am so grateful that I got to live this dream.

I love your blog! I'm glad to know your procedure was successful! Your son is wonderful boy! I wish you and your family all the best! My dh and I were ttc for a very long time. I've got pregnant in 2009 and we thought that finally our prayers were heard. Unfortunately my pregnancy ended with a miscarriage. We've lost our son and it was shocking for whole our family. I couldn’t get back to life for a long time. I’m glad I have my dh. He gave me support I needed the most. We wanted to have kids so much, it was our only dream. Living childless life wasn't a variant for us. We were thinking about adoption at first. But we wanted our child to be genetically related to our family. Still I had some doubts. My dh looked at this procedure positively. It would be his child anyway. I thought I would be just some woman, who will carry a baby. I have a fear, that everyone will notice it's not mine. I thought it will be obvious and people will talk about it... Also I watched a tv show about de ivf. Some children started to look for women, who shared eggs with these kids' mothers. That was so sad. Those mothers didn't deserve such attitude. They made everything possible their children to have all they need and even more. And here is gratitude. But as this procedure was our only solution of our problem, I made a decision to do it. I should say de ivf is a very good option. I had this procedure in 2014. I've got pregnant from first attempt. We were on seventh heaven! Our girls were born in May 2015. We've just celebrated their first birthday. We used Ukrainian clinic BioTexCom. We are happy parents now! I have no regrets. As soon as I knew I'm pregnant all doubts were wiped out. We decided not to tell our daughters we used donor eggs. I think children' mind is not ready for such info. This fact will change nothing for them. The most important is to give them love and care. I consider myself as their only mother. This is everything they need to know.
