299

So we got the results of the first beta today: 299! So far so good - the second beta will be on Friday! My surrogate, "P", and I are very excited. Based on this number, I'm going to guess a singleton although I would be fine with twins as well. I would feel very blessed either way. Friday cannot come soon enough!

Incredible

It's incredible that so much time has passed since my last post. It seems like an eternity has passed since Friday, April 27, 2007.

I am the proud father of a handsome 4-year-old son. He was born on December 13, 2007. No words can express how blessed I am - my dreams came true and I am forever grateful to "C" for helping me become a parent. I absolutely love being a parent - it is truly my calling.

But why am I back? Well, after a long and challenging road, I am hoping to grow my family. As mentioned in a previous post, I had two frozen embryos remaining. With the help of "P", we transferred both on May 16, 2012 and with the use of pregnancy tests, we are pregnant. "P" is having her first beta test tomorrow and a second beta test on Friday.

I am still in disbelief. I am very happy but remain quite grounded, knowing that we are at the beginning. I truly believe things that are meant to be will be and things happen for a reason. We shall see what tomorrow brings. It's all very exciting.
