You will not believe this!!! Tuesday afternoon we got a phone call - a birth mom chose us!! Her due date was Nov 21st.... but babies have a way of writing their own game plan, and she went into labor yesterday (Wednesday) about noon. A healthy baby boy (6lbs, 13 oz) arrived last night and we are on a flight to Maryland to go get him today!!!!
So, this is officially an emotional (and logistical) whirlwind. The kids are packed for Grandma and Grandpa's, our bags are packed for Baltimore and there is a baby boy waiting for us to come hold him :)
Please pray! I am so scared I can barely think. This is the riskiest, scariest thing I have ever done. Any number of things could go terribly wrong and leave us terribly heartbroken.
Pictures and updates to come. Kids need breakfast, a little last minute packing, then we are going to shopping for a gift for the birth mom and take them over to Jan and Luther's - we head to the airport about 11am. We got the last two seats on the afternoon flight! - we used frequent flier miles :) Thank you Jesus because buying last minute tickets would have cost us a fortune!
