33 weeks

So all the legal stuff appears to be taken care of so my IP's will be the power of attorneys until they have the legal adoption stuff taken care of. Which is great because if they were born premature there would be medical decisions to be made for their well being. I would, of coarse, honor whatever they wanted anyways, but I'm sure this just gives them peace of mind. And apparently their plane tickets are booked for a few weeks from now and the apartment is also booked , so it is feeling more real I'm sure for them. As for me, I'm ready to have my body back! I want the babies to be term and healthy, but am so ready to get back to the gym and be normal again!
The "contractions" continue and my pelvis is doing its usual, as I say "falling apart" thing. For those of you who don't know, when your pregnant your body produces a hormone that is rightly named relaxin that "relaxes" all your joints to help your pelvis open more for childbirth. Well mine, I feel, goes a little overboard and my pelvic bones pop and click and move constantly. Although I do feel like it's better with this pregnancy which I again attribute to having lost so much weight prior to getting pregnant. The back pain isn't too bad, my worst days are, of coarse, work days when I'm up moving so much. I do think I might be more emotional with this pregnancy, my poor husband, I'm not sure that he'll ever let me be a surrogate again if I keep acting like I am! He's a trooper though!
That's a question I get frequently, do you think you'll do it again?  I feel like at this point I would, but there's still at least 5 weeks to go and a delivery to accomplish before deciding. With every pregnancy the risks go up for complications during pregnancy and at delivery. I don't want to be foolish and end up with lifelong problems or even possibly not surviving a delivery and leaving my family without a mom so if I did do it again it would probably be my last time. Unless, this is my last time! I guess only time will tell.
The babies are still moving like crazy! I'm feeling sorry for my poor stretched out uterus it really is an amazing organ to be able to provide everything for these little guys that they need to thrive. It can get so big and then shrink so small. I don't care what you men say, we are lucky to be able to be pregnant! It is truly a miracle and I am glad that through all the aches and pains and annoyances that pregnancy brings we can accomplish such an amazing feat!  Helping to create life, and I feel like it makes it more wondrous when I can do it for someone else. I am truly blessed!
