Well, yesterday our birthmother went to another follow-up doctor's visit. The doctor said that he thinks she will have the baby by this weekend. A little early but we are definitely okay with that. Our birthmother has decided that she does not want anyone there while she is in labor and delivery, but she has asked her social worker to call us as soon as the baby is born so that we can go up to the hospital and see the baby in the nursery. She does want to spend a little time with the baby at first but then is planning to go home and leave us "in charge". The baby will stay in the hospital until the paperwork is signed at 48 hours giving us custody of the baby.
The nursery is almost finished. All that is left are some paint touch-ups and painted the baseboards. This past Tuesday I had to go to College Station for work. As I was driving around town I realized that we still needed to get an Aggie outfit to bring the baby home in. So before I left town, I went to our favorite Aggie store - Aggieland Outfitters, www.ao12.com, and bought a maroon outfit and cap. I also found a cute giraffe wearing a maroon A&M shirt. I had to buy that to go with the baby safari them of the bedroom and it fits right in. So there is really not much left to do to prepare.
Please pray for a safe weekend for our birthmother and the baby. This is potentially going to be a very busy and stressful weekend for all involved.
In Christ All Things Are Possible!
Love to All!
Jerry
