Cute Halloween

I was so happy that I felt good on Halloween and was able to take the boys to see their cousins at their school parade and then over to Chase's work party.  We got home in time to have a small dinner and then it was off trick or treating with more cousins.  I was really worried I might still be sick, but I was able to stop the shots early so it wasn't a problem.  I was super tired the next day- I haven't walked that much since August!!

I keep telling Chase we need to take a picture of me since I'm already 13 weeks and haven't taken a picture.  Hopefully on Saturday or Sunday we'll do that.  I would say that I feel good 5 out of 7 days during the week.  Yesterday was a hard day- super emotional and had a horrible headache.  But Monday and Tuesday were great, so I don't know what is going on with me. (Oh yeah, I'm pregnant.  With twins.)

Right now I am waiting for an update from my lawyer- there is a law in Utah that says a home study must be done on the intended parents home before they are allowed to take the babies.  Right now they live in China and I guess there is question about if they will be able to complete that or not.  If they can't, I will have to deliver in California, which means the boys and I (and hopefully Chase, although that would depend on his job) would have to move to California for 3 1/2-4 months.  The intended parents would pay for everything if this were to happen, but it would be extremely hard on everyone, but especially the boys. My lawyer said usually the home study is done before the surrogate has a transfer, but since they had scheduled the transfer so soon after I started there wasn't time.  I told my lawyer that the bottom line is I don't want to leave and deliver in California, but I am pregnant with their boys and I will do what I have to so they can take their babies home.  I guess the big problem is the government there- the lawyers here just aren't sure what they will be able to get from the Chinese government. But they have made their request's and said I should know by next week so that I can start planning things if I need to go to California.  I have been able to put it out of my mind most of the time and I just feel like whatever happens will happen.  I know that my lawyer is working as hard as he can to make sure I deliver in Utah, I feel like he understands how hard that would be for us to have to move out to California.  There isn't anything I can do to make it go faster, or even to make sure I do deliver in California so I need to just relax and not worry about it for now.
