The SW will call us in the morning and keep us posted as things progress. The birthmother wants us to be in the delivery room and be the first ones to hold him!! I was so thrilled to hear that's what she wanted! We will have full access to him in the nursery, so I think we will get a hotel room right near the hospital. I'm still in disbelief at all of this.
I truly can't thank you enough for your prayers!! I have never experienced the power of prayer in such an incredible way. Thank you again!
Here are a few pics from our day today...
Can you tell we've been doing a lot of nesting and spring cleaning?
We picked up two more pieces of furniture for the nursery:
A toy box that will also be a night-stand near the glider
And shelves for the closet
Our bags are packed and we're ready to go as soon as she calls! Looks like this baby will be born on 5-12-10. Did anyone guess that date?? It's also my brother's birthday!
Yay! Praying and frantically checking for updates tomorrow :) Can't wait until you have that brand new baby in your arms!
ReplyDeleteYAY!!! Tomorrow is going to be a GREAT day!!!

ReplyDeleteG-your LAST night without a baby in your house.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, oh my gosh. I left adoration tonight with such a sense of trust and peace for you. I really did. God knows what he is doing.
And the birthmom wants you in the room!? OH my goodness. I will be praying for her peace and your joy.
WOW.
So exciting! My husband and I were in the delivery room for my 2nd daughter's birth, and it was amazing! Absolutely miraculous. Our birthmom also wanted us to hold her first. I know just how you will be feeling, and it is so, so wonderful. I'm so happy for you.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure I'd wait for phone calls though...things can progress really fast. You may just want to be at the hospital. You'll be waiting anyway, right? Might as well wait nearer to your new baby. :)
GREAT news!!! Up late organizing my brain and decided to check before hitting the hay - so glad I did! So great to get to give you guys hugs tonight...again, it's so clear you are going to be the BEST parents!!! Enjoy every second of receiving that amazing new life!
ReplyDeleteThis is all so wonderful! I am so happy for you! I think I'd be close to the hospital, too. Waiting in the wings for your little one's birth! Yay!!
ReplyDeleteToday is going to be an amazing day. How cool that he will share a birthday with your brother!?!
ReplyDelete5/12 is a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteSo excited for you! I think it's really cool she wants you to be there- have fun!! :) Will be praying everything goes smoothly!!
ReplyDeleteHow utterly exciting that she wants you to be in the delivery room! Many prayers for you today!!!
ReplyDeleteSo exciting! A nightstand is a great idea as you will have it piled high with things in reach for awhile. Poor dh will be a go for a lot, but it is a huge way he can help :) I wanted to tell you pitocin is a really hard drug, so lots of appreciation for birthmom. It makes the labor go to 100 with no in between, so I hope someone warned her better than me. I felt like a failure-kept saying, I can't believe I didn't think it was going to hurt like this. There was just no buildup, it all came at once. But it is necessary sometimes and so I am grateful for it. She gets extra BM love for that :) That is so awesome she wants you to hold the baby first. What a wonderful blessing! So happy for all of you!
ReplyDeleteGreat great news! I'll be praying!
ReplyDeleteI've tried to leave this comment three times already, stupid blogger!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you get to be there when he's born and get to hold him right away! That's great news :).
Good luck tomorrow!
oh wow, what wonderful news that you will be the first to hold your little one!!
ReplyDeleteThat sweet little cry was the most beautiful sound I've ever heard in my whole life ... I am 100% sure I wouldn't have been more overcome with love had it been my own biological child. It just isn't possible.
This little boy is going to be so blessed to have you and T as parents and he will fill your life with so much love and joy that you didn't even realize was possible.
I do hope and pray this is finally the DAY!
It's Wednesday morning!! I am so excited!!
