It’s now the 27th week that we are pregnant, so hard to imagine that almost a year ago we were starting to plan our first trip to Panama, where we didn’t know what to expect, or what journey this was going to be and when and if we were going to have a baby. This year has gone by within a blink of an eye and we still have a hard time imagining that our baby will be born in just two short months.
We are officially in the third and last trimester, and pleased to announce that everything is still going perfectly relating to the pregnancy. Both surrogate and baby are healthy and doing as well as we could ever have hoped.
This has been quite a year, both Daniel and I have aged about 10 years a piece and if we didn’t have a full head of grey hair, well we do now! (At least I do). The stress of this process, the unknown, the distance and language barriers, just to name a few have only strengthened our determination to get through this process and to start living a normal life again back home with a family. We soon will start the process of booking travel for our trip down, our thoughts are to book our flights just before the 37th week of pregnancy, and then if we need to change our flights at least they will be booked. The delivery could be anytime between the 37-39th week of pregnancy and the hospital will not know our expected delivery date until our July ultra sound. For us it will be better to be down in Panama earlier to get any extra supplies or diapers we might need instead of rushing around after the fact once Layton is born. Also this will give us an opportunity to re-connect with our friend Alana who has graciously allowed us to stay with her in Panama while we are there picking up the baby. Two months isn’t a long time left in our journey, I know there will be more stressful moments to come, but the relief that we feel right now to be coming to the end is almost unbearable!
