Well, it's been about 2 weeks since the last update so I figure I had better keep you all satisfied with something, although nothing really has happened in the last 2 weeks, so I hope I don't disappoint!!
I had a lot of strange pressure in my head at the beginning of the week so I went to the dr. (long story short, OBs office had nobody in, so I was going to go see my family doc. He's on vacation. I was then going to see the on-call doc. Scheduler about flipped out when I mentioned something about being pregnant and she didn't think I could be seen. I ended up seeing my friend's OB in that office, she was amazing!) turns out you don't have to have sinus pain or pressure to have a sinus infection. Kind of surprised me. The even BETTER part of the story is the antibiotics. IDK how many of you know this about me, but I generally despise Wal-Mart. It's one of those things I feel like I have to shop there rather than waste the gas to drive 45 mins or more to a Target store, but I despise myself the entire time I'm in there, because I feel like a hypocrite. Anyway, I had the meds sent to Wal-Mart because my son had a prescription there waiting on me to pick it up. The lady said it was going to be a while, 15-20 minutes. I told myself to check back in 25 or 30. yep. That's how they roll. 30 minutes later, I'm checking in there, and they haven't even started it yet. REALLY?!?! It's a stinkin Z-Pak! You double check the script, you slap a label on it, and you print out the information that goes with it. I understand you're busy, but WOW. Needless to say I spent 55 minutes in Wal-Mart that day. Not by choice.
Here's some more FUN information! I have been planning a NOT baby shower for Emily and Henry!! I know I probably shouldn't be advertising this to all of my friends on the internet, as I don't want anyone to be super jealous that they didn't get invited, but I have been asked to keep it to a minimum, so I thought 20 invites would be sufficient. I opted for those who live around here rather than asking people to drive a long way for a silly party. So if you're offended that you're not invited, trust me it wasn't intentional, I don't hate you, I put a lot of thought into who I invited so nobody would be greatly inconvenienced. It's going to be TONS of fun, though!! I'll try to post pics afterwards so you can all feel like you were there! I've been getting package after package in the mail :D I love getting packages delivered!! Sometimes I wonder if I'm not addicted to online shopping!!
Anyway, that's all I have for now, feeling a few occasional flutters, but I think this kid is afraid of all the fat surrounding it ;) so s/he is not as pushy as my boys were. Maybe another sign of a girl???? Only 3 weeks & a few days till we find out!!!!

2nd OB Appointment Update!
I went to the second OB appointment on Friday. I know, it was 2 whole days ago, but I have been busy, some amazing friends of ours were married last night, my husband performed the ceremony and I made potato salad and helped with the other food. But, that's a story for another day.
Friday was AWESOME!! I got the see the female doc in my practice, I prefer her partially because she's female (I know, if you've seen one, you've seen them all, I'll be the first to say it, but seeing and showing are 2 very different things!) and partially because she's just more laid back about things. In fact, she was hilarious, asking all kinds of questions and stuff about surrogacy and how it had gone so far. (The nurse was a friend's mom and she was asking questions, too, but then seemed very apologetic for asking questions. Honestly, I really don't care!) We discussed the possibility of induction (yes, already!) and the earliest (medically) we can induce "just because" is the end of July, so I was happy to inform Emily and Henry of that, so they can think about how we'd like to do that. Our options are basically this:
1. Schedule induction for the first day we can and keep that unless we go into labor before then.
2. Schedule induction for due date (or any day after the date mentioned above) and keep that as a backup in case we don't go into labor before then.
3. Hope and pray this baby isn't like mine and requires an eviction notice to send me into labor and that my IPs will be able to make it here when they get the call that labor is started.
I have a feeling we're going to opt for either option 1 or option 2. Partially due to timing as far as Emily and Henry getting here (both of my boys were induced, 1st was about 13 1/2 hours from when pitocin was started, 2nd was about 11 1/2 hours from when pitocin was started, it's a 9 hour drive, they'll make it ;) I hope!!) Anway, that's pretty much up to Henry and Emily, unless this one decides to make an early entrance or there is a medical concern.
Also on Friday she listened for the heartbeat. She said it was in the 160's. She had to search for it, both of my boys she's mostly found it down on the left side, but this one she found it down on the right side...does that mean girl????? Also we scheduled the 20 week ultrasound this visit...March 14th!! Emily will be on spring break from college so that works wonderfully for them!!
That's pretty much it, nothing overly exciting but still exciting nonetheless!! Won't be too long before I get to visit the doc every other week!! Just a few more months!!
Anybody have any guesses as to pink or blue??? Let me know!!! Have a wonderful superbowl Sunday, and GO PACK GO!!!
