Most recent update says that Cole and Jax are blowing them all away at the NICU!!! They weren't going to be able to be transferred for 4 weeks, as of a few days ago, but they've made so many leaps and bounds that they're actually set to go to the hospital near their parents' home as of today! Coleton is off of all breathing assistance and is doing

I am so glad to hear things are going okay with the babies. How are you recovering from the C-section?

So far so good! I keep forgetting to take my med (baaaad choice) and that gets me feeling worn out. But other than that, I'm WAY more comfortable and far along than I thought I'd be. I can roll over (and fetch, jk) in bed at night without feeling like I'm going to tear in two. I can cough and laugh and all that good jive. My steri strips and staples are gone and I'm feeling way better without the steri's for sure. Yay!!! Thanks for asking :)

It took me longer to recover from the C-section for sure than from the vaginal delivery. I had one of each. It really too me three weeks or more to start feeling normal again, but you will get there. Take care of yourself. I am amazed at how calm you seem through all of this. You are an inspiration. I have always been interested in surrogacy. I did a paper on it in high school---20 years ago. So thanks so much for sharing your experience.

All I can say to those interested in surrogacy is that interest in such a thing is rare. If it interests you, maybe your heart (and womb) are telling you something! Go for it! Any questions that you have I'd be happy to answer (ie: allow me to talk you into it lol, peer pressure!)

Seriously! After the vaginal deliveries (of much larger babies) I was up and moving, high as a super excited kite, and just a little sore. This time around is definitely tougher. I have NO IDEA why women sign on for these electively.
