The weekend turned out to be a quiet one. Last weekend my botty was not well and this week it was the turn of Flo's titty, since she came down with mastitis. And a throat infection. Double whammy. [edited by Flo]
We still managed to get a short trip in today (Saturday), to visit the Convent of Our Lady of Seidnaya. Unfortunately, we didn't get chance to stop and walk around and take some photos, since even before arriving Flo started to feel sick and so we drove straight past the convent and returned back to Damascus the way we came (minus the unnecessary detours).
I'm trying to at least upload a map of our route, but our 3.5G internet connection (DSL connections are still extremely difficult to get installed here) has been offline most of the day and even now it's struggling a bit. I suspect that at the weekends the network is overloaded. Or maybe the thunderstorm I can hear brewing outside is effecting it? So I'll have to try and upload some pictures during the week instead.
Beatrice is continuing to grow. She's slowly settling into more of a routine now following the upheaval of the move and is managing to get some sleep in during the day, which is making her and hence Flo and ultimately me much happier bunnies. She's also getting stronger and wanting to sit up more and more (still with some help from Mum and Dad) and she's starting to spend more time on her belly trying to learn how to crawl. She's certainly got the leg actions down, but just needs to learn to move her arms.

I've added a couple more pictures to the ever expanding Beatrice album above. I've got a movie to upload too but I'll try and do that at work to save some monthly data allowance for Flo on our internet connection...

My congratulations honey! I used donor eggs and gave birth to wonderful boy last year! I have no regrets at all! At first I had some doubts. I was nervous so much. I know how it feels… All that waiting is just driving you crazy. I was looking at other women, who have already become mothers. I was so jealous. I thought maybe I've done something bad? Maybe I just don't deserve to get what I want? Yes, it's hard, because it's not our fault we can't conceive naturally. But still we should be grateful for such chance to have this procedure and become mothers! The greatest fear was that I will not be able to love child, which is not genetically related to me. It's much easier for man to accept this procedure, because a baby will be from him. As it was my only way out, I decided we should try. It was a difficult, but the result changed our lives! After a couple of months of thorough search, reading of hundreds reviews and contacting clinics directly we've found clinic in Europe. I wanted a baby who I will carry and give birth by myself. I wanted to be with him from the moment of his birth, from his first breath. Of course, I wanted baby to look like us. But as soon as the doctor made an embryo transfer, the only thing I was thinking about was pregnancy to be successful and my baby to be born healthy! Now I have absolutely no feeling that my son is not mine genetically! No one can ever tell he is from donor egg. We decided not to tell our parents the whole truth. For them we had ivf with my eggs and my husband's sperm. If you have firmly decided to become a mother, no difficulties will stop you. I'm not going to tell my son that I used donor egg of another woman to get pregnant. I'm sure he doesn't need to worry about this in the future. This fact will change nothing for him. I've never regret about my decision!
