Is this really happening for me?

I meant to post last week about how the embryo transfer went but didnt get a chance.
DH and I produced  6 embryos that made it to the blastocyst stage. Three of which were already hatching! Having this outcome really made this last round of  IVF that I had to endure worth it.
On April 3rd, at 9:30 AM, our surrogate had one amazing little embryo transferred to her. The rest were frozen. I was in the room while the transfer was done and was able to watch the whole thing on the ultrasound. It's so hard to describe the feelings that I had while this was happening...But I will try. I felt like crying at first watching her up on the bed waiting to have MY embryo transferred to her. Actually I did start tearing. I kept thinking that I wish it were me being able to carry my baby. I suddenly felt a little bit possesive of that embryo. But honestly only for a couple of minutes.My emotions quickly turned to immense gratitude and hope that this might just work. ...watching the embyo on ultrasound fall right were it was supposed to in her womb .My tears were joyful tears....this woman and I had only met six months ago yet we had come so far. I could not have asked for a better outcome. She really made this whole process easier for me...her positive attitude, her always pleasant demenor and her down to earth and genuine personality.

So now to the really great part....

On April 9th, at 6.27am in the morning I received a text from our surrogate with a picture attached.
The text said:

"What kind of work do you think you will get done today....Mom and Dad" then the picture of a very positive pee stick and then more text "Congratulations;)"

I was half asleep while reading this but figured out that this must mean that she was pregnant...I wasn't dreamimg...I had to read it over a couple of times prior to screaming and shaking my husband out of his deep sleep to say "We're having a baby" I kept repeating it, I should say screaming it until he realized what I was saying. We hugged for what seemed like forever...crying and laughing. The PURE JOY I felt is undescribable. Was it really that easy...just like that.....and end was given to our almost seven year infertility struggle?
I called our surrogate and I have no idea what I was saying...I think I was just rambling on and on and on in excitement...I honestly don't remember a word of what I told her...I am gonna have to ask her.

So....we go for the blood test this Monday...we will see what her HCG numbers are at. I'll update you next week.

So here's the thing girls......GOD IS FAITHFUL....EVERY GOOD BLESSING COMES FROM ABOVE.....NEVER GIVE UP...PERSERVERE.
