Delhi Belly

Many of us have heard of, if not experienced first hand, the infamous gastrointestinal distress cleverly called "Delhi Belly."  This post is nothing about that! 

Instead, I am happy to share with you this surprise update we received today and some pictures of our lovely surrogate, Meera, featuring her baby bump, a.k.a. our precious Delhi belly.

Greetings from SCI Healthcare..!!

We hope this e-mail finds you well.

We would like to inform you that Meera came to the clinic this morning for her regular check up.

As per our recent discussion with our obstetrician she is doing well.

We would also like to inform you that we have also captured some belly images of her.

Her belly is growing day by day and looking very beautiful.

We hope you will like the same.

We will keep you updated with her further progress & new status.

With Best Regards,
Yogita
SCI Healthcare




Any takers on how how many weeks till she pops?  I'm totally clueless about this, as I think her tummy looks huge already and am just so grateful for all of her care and efforts to keep our baby safe and sound in these final months.

Congrats to all the families with babies born recently!  So exciting to have all our friends announcing their wonderful news lately!

  1. Hopefully bubs hangs around until after 36 weeks so the lungs get a good chance at developing, irrespective of weight - noting that bubs can be big as a result of the GD. I'm guessing girl looking at how baby is positioned (across body vs a basketball). Regardless, great shots!!!! Makes it all oh so real.

    1. Thanks for your comment! I'm thinking girl too! This is the second time we have teared up (first time was the 3D scan). We are finally feeling like it is real. The first trimester was so tough, and Meera was still in hospital when we reached second trimester. Then it continued to be rocky, so we never really felt out of the woods. I think we are finally seeing the light at the end!

  7. OK guys, we are seriously jealous now. So glad that you received these great baby belly photos. Now that you have completed your baby class all there is to do is wait. I'm thinking little Bodhi needs a little girl friend to be sweet on.
