14 Week Surprise!

The doctor did another ultrasound scan this week (14 weeks), and everything is looking good!  According to our "What to Expect" app, the babies are each about the size of a navel orange now (4.5 inches), and weigh about 2-3 ounces.  We also got an unexpected surprise - two great photos of our surrogate (Zarina), displaying a noticeable baby bump!  Since we didn't meet Zarina when we were in India in April, this was our first time getting to see what she looks like.  This definitely has added a whole new level of 'realness' to this experience...we are actually able to SEE the progress of our babies!  More than anything, it struck us how kind Zarina looks, and that makes us feel so comfortable and confident that the babies are being taken care of by the 'right' person. 

We are actively in house-hunting mode now - we went to see two places this week that didn't meet the mark, so we are going to see a few more places this afternoon with Benjy (Alan's dad).  We'll be sure to keep you posted.  In the meantime, here are the photos of Zarina from this week:
