An amazing day...

Well it's been months of planning and preparation for today...to be honest I felt so nervous and anxious this morning.  Mostly concerned as to how our two embryos would thaw.  I have felt the opposite about our surrogate.  We went out to dinner with her and her boyfriend last night and she has the most amazing and beautiful personality.  She has a way of making me feel calm and confident by just being herself.  Throughout this whole process I have never doubted for a moment if she remembered to take her medicine or if she would remember to go to her scheduled appointments...she is truly amazing.
I feel so blessed for our doctor who has been so thorough at every appointment and today was no exception.  My palms were sweaty as we went into the room to discuss how our embryos thawed.  The doctor walked into the room with a big smile on his face and he could see the concern in my face when I asked "how did they thaw..how do they look?"  He said "Great..see me smiling"  I felt like a ton of bricks was removed from my shoulders.  He also gave us a color picture of our embryos so we could see how they look.  This was something new to us as we have never seen pictures like this....it was a pleasant surprise.

Then onto the transfer...again our surrogate was so calm and was open to all of us being in the room to see the transfer.  After it was all done I felt a wave to emotions and couldn't help the tears from falling from my eyes.  I feel so blessed we were able to do what we did today and I thank God for connecting us with our surrogate, Dr. Boostanfar, our attorney and all the others who were a part of this amazing process.  Dr. B saw me get so emotional and gave the a real heartfelt hug. 
After he left us we all had fun chatting about our favorite movies and laughing at certain lines we each remember from the classic movies.  It was a real fun connection and moment we all had together.  Then after resting for about 20 minutes we were back on our way home.  I think I smiled for the entire ride home.  I feel so blessed for this day and for all the love and support of our family and friends.  11/24 is the pregnancy test....stay tuned.....
