00:00This is my newborn. He is one week old and I am currently almost eight and a half months pregnant.
00:05Yes, you heard correctly. I also have a basically 33 week bump. It's kind of like how I walked out
00:14of the hospital last week with a newborn at 32 weeks pregnant. This is gonna be fun. So baby
00:19girl in my belly is gonna be 37 weeks on Friday and this guy is gonna be five weeks. How is this
00:26possible? He had a pediatrician appointment yesterday and is almost 10 pounds and doing
00:31amazing. He's the best. Unfortunately, I have been having some end of pregnancy complications
00:36and when I went to the doctor today, I left and they called right away for me to come back and do
00:41more blood work and it sounds like baby girl is gonna be coming a little bit earlier than we
00:47expected. Made me a little nervous but I know that everything happens for a reason so we gotta make
00:53sure that I keep her healthy. The doctors have given her some impossible advice. I've kind of
00:59been told to stay off my feet which is really really hard for me especially with a newborn
01:03but I'm doing my best to remain calm, keep her calm and keep her growing for as long as possible
01:12but I think he's gonna be a big brother sooner than we might have thought. She's about to reveal
01:17how this was possible. Our son right here was born on Friday night September 26th. The experience
01:23could not have been more beautiful with our surrogate. She's such a wonderful human being
01:29and I definitely learned a lot about labor and delivery and some things that I can kind of start to
01:37focus on for when it's my turn coming. Having two babies in seven weeks is no mean feat
01:43and her journey hasn't been easy. I posted a long time ago about our struggles with
01:49fertility but to put it simply we're due with our first baby via surrogate in October and we're
01:55ecstatic. Our baby boy is coming. I haven't really known ever since all of my fails and IVF struggles
02:01if I would ever be able to carry a baby by myself. However to top that off I wasn't feeling so great
02:06last week and I went to the doctor and to my surprise ended up finding out that I was already
02:14in my second trimester of pregnancy. I have a bun in my oven due eight weeks after our first.
02:21So my husband and I now have two miracle blessings coming into our life and we will be parents to two
02:28little ones by the end of this year. She's experienced so many obstacles on her path to motherhood.
02:34I also recently had to get a double mastectomy earlier this year due to other health conditions
02:40going on. I am BRCA1 positive and I found out when I was about 19 or 20 eventually I this past January
02:48chose to take my health into my own hands and I had a double mastectomy. Can't tell you the relief
02:54it's given hands especially now knowing that I have two beautiful babies on the way and I made that choice
02:59for them.
