The Baby Incubator: 34 Weeks
http://thebabyincubator.blogspot.com/2014/03/34-weeks.html
Tuesday, March 11, 2014. I have five weeks left of being pregnant. HOW CRAZY IS THAT? Michael and Jason fly in to KC in one month. I'm excited to see them again and excited to help them set up their temporary apartment for their new family. Hopefully, she'll have (at least) a little bit of fuzz for hair. She was measuring in the 61st percentile for size. I like that; she's no behemoth and she'll still be healthily sized. Dempsey is finally noticing my sizable bump. I lifted my shirt to show him and h...

The Baby Incubator: October 2013
http://thebabyincubator.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
Thursday, October 31, 2013. No I am not ready to post a photo of my figure. The truth is, I just look pudgy. I'm not really "showing," but, instead, look like I filled up at the local buffet. My pants don't button (comfortably) and I don't mind belting them on. But do I have that beautiful pregnancy bump? No More of a lump, if anything, but I'm okay with that. I still get to wear spandex! Bunny is about the size of an apple. Bunny still has a lot of ripening to do, but actually looks like a tiny baby.

The Baby Incubator: December 2013
http://thebabyincubator.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 9, 2013. I was in denial for a while. It's undeniable now; Bunny is kicking or tap dancing like a Riverdance girl. My OB told me I have a posterior placenta (meaning it's attached at the back of my baby tank) so it would be a little longer before I could feel her really clogging around (my words, not hers). At 20 weeks, let it be written, she made her presence known. Hopefully I can get the Bellybuds. Truth be told, he really loves Jimmy Fallon). Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). I'm pregnant ...

The Baby Incubator: Pregnancy Side Effects
http://thebabyincubator.blogspot.com/2014/02/pregnancy-side-effects.html
Monday, February 3, 2014. Pregnancy does weird things to a woman. It can change her body, change her mood, change her life. There are cravings, aversions and "side effects.". The strangest thing I've experienced while pregnant is sneezing. If I am hungry and take a bite of food, I will, inevitably, sneeze. It is the weirdest thing, and I've only met one other person that has experienced this phenomenon. Doesn't that look delicious! Telling people about surrogacy.

The Baby Incubator: January 2014
http://thebabyincubator.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
Tuesday, January 28, 2014. This is the real reason our pregnancy stuck. THAT will make the embryo stick! In all honesty, as soon as I got up there, I thought, "WHAT AM I DOING! I am supposed to be taking it easy! And immediately went and laid down. I gained 5 pounds, to which my amazing nurse quickly stated, "Oh my! She's gone through quite the growth spurt! What a smart woman. We also set the induction date! April 14 is delivery day! Telling people about surrogacy. Thursday, January 16, 2014. Well it's ...

The Baby Incubator: Managing the Details
http://thebabyincubator.blogspot.com/2014/03/managing-details.html
Wednesday, March 26, 2014. It's amazing, how quickly a pregnant woman will stop counting up and start counting down to delivery day. We are down to the final month. My last pregnancy was 2.5 years ago and I will verify that this child-bearing "thing" is for the younger crowd. Little Miss Bunny seems to be resting very low. There are times mid-walk I have to stop and kind of crouch over to get her out of a very uncomfortable and compromising position. Telling people about surrogacy. The Journey of Life.

The Baby Incubator: Parent Edition: a note from the new dads
http://thebabyincubator.blogspot.com/2014/05/parent-edition-note-from-new-dads.html
Friday, May 9, 2014. Parent Edition: a note from the new dads. And quite an accomplishment it was too! We arrived to see our wonderful surrogate and her family and our new family there too in the cot by the door! We had spent the last 24 hours flying from London to New York to Chicago and finally to KS. We arrived a day after the main event, which we understand was peppered with charming expletives. We asked if we could pick her up.it was so alien to us that this was it and we were dads. A Baby to Share.

The Baby Incubator: July 2013
http://thebabyincubator.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
Friday, July 26, 2013. In a week, I will be in the doctor's office in Connecticut. It's crazy to think about it. I applied three months ago. I met my sweet, deserving intended parents two months ago. I *WILL* be pregnant in a week. I was expecting things to take so much longer. Thank goodness they didn't. I'm not a person who deals well with patience. I like things to happen;. And if they don't happen. I like to make them happen. Thursday, July 18, 2013. How flippin' awesome is that! I will be starting m...
