We received another very positive report from Mumbai early this morning. The surrogate had her comprehensive "end of the first trimester" ultrasound, and everything is looking great! Both babies are the perfect size (5.7 and 5.6cm, respectively) and have strong heartbeats (156 and 150 bpm). This ultrasound also included screenings for Down's and other scary conditions - we're very pleased to report that both babies are at an extremely low risk for everything.
The next scan will be in about two months' time, at which point we will (hopefully) be able to determine the genders. Between now and then, Alan and I are launching into full-scale baby prep mode - luckily for me, Alan is the master of organization and has already started making lists! We purchased our first baby book yesterday (Baby 411), and I am already diving into it. We've also sent notice to our current landlord that we'll be moving out at the end of August (small condos in a high rise are not ideal for a large family!), so we've already been calling on the services of Atlanta's most preeminent realtor to help us find a new place. Let the games begin!
Here is a current snapshot of our two babies resting comfortably after their first trimester exam:
