still here

We didn't disappear we are just still realing from the news and trying to get ready.

When the birth mother called me the other day I was SOOOO excited and wanted to tell Mark SOOO bad. I tried to call him right away and he didn't answer - so I got in my car and drove to his work. I went straight to his cubical and HE WASN'T there. I thne went to his buddy Cody's cub right by his and he wasn't there so I went to his helpers cube and she only knew he was in a meeting, but not where it was or how long it was. So Then..... I went to our buddy Casey's cube and interupted (sorry) a conversation with whoever he was talking to (at this point it could have been the president of the company and I wouldn't have known any better or cared for that matter) He told me Mark was in a meeting that I COULDN'T get him out of. I was bummbed. So I drove to Dillons and bought some happy Father's Day balloons and congratulations balloons and drove them up to his work. When I was pulling back into his parking lot he called me and I just hung up. Then he texted me asking where I was. Everyone I had hounded before had told him I was there and obviously wanted to see him, so the jig was up. I texted him back and said I'm coming. Then I walked straight into his office and gave him a HUGE hug. The two of us haven't been so happy in a L O N G time. Neither of us could stop smiling the rest of the day. It was a crazy evening too. We had already made plans to go to Garden Plain and watch three of our neices and nephews play ball. Which just worked out well because while there we got to tell. My mom, grandma, sister, 3 nephews and a neice as well as Marks brother, sister and 3 nephews and 4 nieces. Great night, but I was emotionally drained by the end of it all.

Can't wait to share more as we wait for the arrival. I'll probably fill you in on my registering adventures next. I will never look at babies r us and walmart the same.

Please continue to pray that the baby and the birth mother stay healthy. Also that everything goes as planned. And possible for a little sanity for me :)
