This is a check-in for those of you (or your SO) who are pregnant as a result of TPR including donor sperm, donor eggs, donor embryos, gestational carrier, surrogacy, or any combination of those. Lurkers are welcome to come in and ask questions or become part of the check-in!
Point of clarification: I am using 'surrogacy' to mean traditional surrogacy (using the surrogate's eggs) and gestational carrier where the carrier's eggs are NOT used. They are sometimes referred to as 'traditional surrogacy' and 'gestational surrogacy' respectively.
1. Where are you in the process? 2. How are you feeling?
QOTW: Are there any new, super cool baby products you have researched?
If your status changes and/or you want to be removed, please let me know.

1. Where are you in the process? I'm 13w5d with my DEm baby (Hello 2nd Tri!) We are currently waiting on our harmony results, which should be ready in the next few days. My second OB appointment is on Thursday.
2. How are you feeling? I'm actually feeling pretty good right now. My biggest issue is back pain, which is mostly due to the crazy amount of weight I gained cycling and in the first few weeks of pregnancy.
QOTW: Are there any new, super cool baby products you have researched? We really haven't looked at any baby products yet. I think that will start once we get our harmony results back, hopefully showing a healthy baby and we can find out what the sex is.

twinkie0612, definitely walrus . GL with the Harmony results
excited to be listed as a "soon to be grad"!! Baby will hopefully come this week. Due date was originally 2/4 but the midwives changed it to 2/6 based on the first u/s measurements.

My mom is staying with us and will be looking after DD, so we are all set once baby girl makes her arrival!

Seriously, my sister has been showing him u/s pictures and she asked him to tell his brother (12yo) what the picture was and he says, "my baby cousin!" She asked him what kind of baby cousin (he had been saying baby boy cousin) and he said, "It's a walrus!" Every time he sees my most current u/s picture he says, "It kind of looks like a walrus."
Yay for baby emmuffy making her appearance this week!

1. 15w2d here! My next OB appt is Feb 10 and our big ultrasound in February 23. Looking forward to these apps. I am very excited to find out the gender. MH doesn't want to know but I win this time and we are finding out.
2. I am feeling much better. I just feel fat and out of shape. I have gained 10 lbs already I think. I am trying to eat better and work out more. I think that I got lazy and unmotivated while cycling and let things go. I also think that all the hormones I was on played a part in this weight gain. Ugh.
QOTW: I haven't bought anything yet but I think I will get the Ergo 360 carrier. (Baby wearing carrier) Just like the Ergo but you can wear them facing out also. I will have to try and sell the one I have now and upgrade!
RN1175 - how exciting!!! And do you have a gut feeling if it is a boy or girl? I think I've gained 15 lbs just in the prepping stage. And I don't have any room to be gaining either. Grrrr.
