Very, very bad girl!!!

I know, I know...I've been terrible about updating lately!!

First, thank you M&M for the beautiful flowers. They looked absolutely gorgeous sitting up on my mantle for the past few weeks. And thank you for the cards - they always brighten my day and put a smile on my face!

We had an ultrasound last Friday (7/6). MA came to the appointment with me and got to see the baby wiggling around and trying to suck his/her thumb. It was so cute! After the appointment we picked up Shayla and went out to eat. We had a very nice lunch - Shayla loves MA - it's great seeing them play together. <3

Paul worked on the bathroom remodeling for 4 days straight and had it just about finished when we found a snag - the mirror doesn't completely cover the whole in the wall from the old medicine cabinet - doh! So the mirror is back down and he's patching the wall and painting it. I swear I will have a real bathroom again someday soon....and when I do, I will post pictures!!

We went to Sesame Place on Tuesday. Oh my gosh, we had the best time ever. Shayla was very well behaved - especially considering she didn't nap all day! She *loved* the rides - especially Big Bird's Nest. She got to eat french fries and ice cream cones and have a special day where she could do almost anything she wanted. It was the best day - I cannot wait to go back again. We've already decided to buy season passes next year so we can take her a few times. It's only a 1/2 hour from us so it's silly not to go whenever we can!!

And things are moving forward with the surrogacy. I have my last clinic appointment and ultrasound on 7/24 at 3pm. MB will be coming to this appointment - I'm sure he's going to love seeing the baby now that it looks like a baby - haha!! I also have my first OB appointment on 7/31 at 9am. I have to go to Pennsylvania for it but they are right over the bridge so it's really not that far. I'm looking forward to a normal doctor's appointment - lol!

I am currently being weaned off the shots - which is great! I have been on them every other day for a week now and am currently starting every third day. My hiney is so thankful!! They've also lowered my dosage of Estrogen and I've noticed some changes in how I'm feeling since then so I think my body wasn't liking all of that medicine being put in me. I got more bloodwork this morning and should be getting a call shortly letting me know how my levels are and what meds to take from now on.

And I know I owe you all new belly pictures - I promise I will take new ones over the weekend. PROMISE!

Ok, that's all for now. I have to get back to work. Hopefully I won't be such a slacker and I'll update here a little more often :-)
