The babies were sticky!

Well at least one baby was sticky. I have gotten 4 days of positive pregnancy tests! Tomorrow I have my first of two blood tests to test my HCG levels. With those numbers we will also have a better idea if both babies stuck, or just one. After those tests I will schedule an ultrasound for the seventh week of pregnancy. So three weeks from now. I had a story to write about tonight, that I found really cool. It just shows even more that my IPs and I were meant to be brought together. When I was close to done working on becoming a surrogate (tests etc) my IPs started working with my agency looking for a surrogate. They were given 6 different profiles of women to chose from at that time. I was one of them. They went through the profiles and chose me. At that same time, Randy lost his job so I put surrogacy on hold for a month or so to wait till my medical would kick back in from his new job. My IPs were told that I was no longer available because of this and they started to look again. It turns out that none of the women had clicked with them and they didn't chose any of them. After about a month they were told that I was active again and could do our first phone conference. They were exstatic! We had a wonderful first conversation and it has been a joy getting to know them ever since. How cool though that through the kinks we still were brought together? That's God right there. My intended mother (L) is so incredibly loving with me. I got the most heartfelt letter from her the other day. It made me cry. She truly values me for what I'm doing and is incredibly thoughtful of my feelings and choices. This was one thing I worried about when matching. I prayed that I would be treated like a person and not just an incubator. Boy have I been blessed. I'm feeling good now. I dealt with a ton of bloating for about a week after the transfer. That has gone down a good amount, but I'm still feeling heavy in my uterus. I don't recall feeling "pregnant" this early with my other two pregnancies. I'm wondering if that mean twins? My breasts are crazy sore still and I get a bit quesy every once in a while. Nothing that doesn't pass within a few minutes, thankfully. I will update with test results tomorrow. Words cannot express my excitment. Thanks for following along!
