My trip to see "C" and attend her first doctor's appointment was a good one. It was my first time visiting this city.
I flew out on Monday, April 23 and "C" picked me up from the airport. She drove me to her home where I would be staying for the night. I met her husband and son for the first time (and two cats) - I had already met her daughter during their visit here.
Our doctor's appointment was scheduled for the morning of Tuesday, April 24. The doctor advised that the due date would be December 18, 2007 based on her last menstrual period and average menstrual cycle. This meant we were exactly Week 6 that day. It also turns out that the doctor is very supportive of surrogacy. After a quick physical, which I was gladly not present for, we went upstairs for "C" to get some blood drawn. In addition to the typical stuff, we had also requested a beta test - it would be the third. I flew home after the appointment.
I look forward to attending the next appointment on May 22, which will be exactly Week 10.
Update: I talked to the nurse today via phone and she advised that all is well - she called it a "normal pregnancy". She also reported our beta at 8318.
Thank you for letting me share part of my world with you.
