Finally!

I was finally able to set up a blog about my adventure. For awhile there I was without a proper working computer, making things a bit difficult. I went through some rough points at the begining of this pregnancy and didn't write everything down, but will try to remember it all and post as much as possible. For now, here are the basics:

My name is Janae, and I am pregnant with triplets. I have four children of my own, and am carrying these triplets as a surrogate. In the begining with my beta numbers so high the doctor suspected twins... come to find out with an ultrasound at 7 weeks there were triplets! Back in November I had two of the IPs embryos transfered, both accepted and one split into identical twins. Everyone was in total shock, my body most of all. At least this explained the awful sickness and lack of energy for the first three months.

We have been seeing the OB and the high risk specialist, the Perinatologist every month but appointments were alternating every two weeks. Since I reached 15 weeks two weeks ago the Perinatologist wants to see me every two weeks for fluid checks on the twins and overall check ups by ultrasound. Tuesday will be a long day having to be at the hospital at 8:30am for the Perinatologist and level 2 ultrasound then hurrying over to my OB appointment at 10am. Hopefully, for once, the OBs office wont be so crowded and we wont be sitting around for nearly 3 hours. I sometimes wish I could see my old Dr who had a small office and didn't overload himself with patients. Still, this new Dr is good, just crowded... which does not make for fun times with me bringing two toddlers and being a grouchy, hormonal pregnant woman.

To be continued...
