Big News!

The long awaited news is finally here... We received a call early this morning from our agency coordinator in India: they ran a blood test on our surrogate last night, and we have a confirmed pregnancy!! We are totally over the moon, and could not be more thrilled. As many of you know, this was a big milestone that has been weighing on us for the past few days, so we are beyond excited to get such fantastic news. Obviously we are still very early in the process - she is now just 3 weeks along - but still such a relief to know that at least one of our little embryos is firmly tucked in. The clinic will probably run another blood test some time next week (to make sure that the hormone levels continue to to rise as they should), and the first sonography will be completed in about two weeks. At that point, we should be able to tell how many embryos we are talking about, and with any luck we will see the heartbeat(s) shortly thereafter! What an amazing day so far...we are totally overwhelmed, but in the most amazing way. We are on our way to Costa Rica as we speak, and are looking forward to a wonderful and relaxing trip. We promise to update the blog as soon as we have something new to share. As always, we couldn't be more grateful for all of your amazing support!
