Mark and I couldn't have asked for better news for fathers day other than the call we got today from the birth mother - letting us know she has chosen US!!!!!!
All our/your prayers have been answered.
I got a call at 1:30 today from the birth mother letting me know that she had been to the doctor and the appointment went well. The doctor told her that they would go ahead and make an appointment for next week, but that she wasn't sure she would make it to next week. OMG!!! :) :) :)
We can not wait and couldn't be more excited. There is way more to share about our conversation, but I will wait and spread to story out. She is due July 12th, but it looks like it may happen earlier.
Thanks for EVERYTHING - your prayers and support have meant so much and will continue to mean everything to us. The birth mother will be meeting with our lawyer on Monday morning and then Mark and I will meet with him on Tuesday or Wednesday to try and nail down some more of the plans. Such as: Will we get to be at the hospital??? etc...
One thing the Birth Mother did request is that she be able to be present at the baptism. We of course said that she is more than welcome to attend. Ok, I'm rambling, but it has been a CRAZY afternoon and my mind is rolling with thoughts and ideas: Daycare, baptism, girl names, boy names (hee hee), godparents, insurance, showers, registering, etc... You can imagine.
Ok, gonna go - again thanks for the prayers before and now.
This will be a very active blog for a while so keep checking in on us. :)
