30 Weeks

Development calendar says:

"Baby is over 3 pounds and 16 inches tall. Her skin is turning from red to pink from the fat deposits. Only 66 days to go."

I had an OB appointment today. Everything looks great. Baby is finally head down. Up until this last visit she was still breech. My doctor said it was not a concern at the time.

I am now close enough to delivery that I will be going in for my OB check ups every two weeks instead of every four weeks. After 36 it will be once a week and they will start checking me each time for cervical changes.

Sunday I met a woman who recently put in an application with Reproductive Possibilities to be a gestational carrier herself. She is a good friend of my husband's sister Brenda, and when she expressed interest in being a surrogate Brenda gave her the name of the agency I was working through. I am so excited to see that other people are becoming aware of this program. It has been amazing for me and I think there are a lot of people out there who would really enjoy doing this. A lot of people say that they have considered it, but they never really knew how it worked or where to start. Hopefully more and more women will begin to realize that it is really an option for the average person and it can make a huge difference in their lives as well as in others'.

I hope she is reading this. Good luck Velvet.
