I woke up this morning feeling a little nervous that maybe something had changed overnight.
But, as the day went on, and we received no phone call, I started to relax and let myself believe this is really happening!
We have done a lot of shopping....and cleaning....and hoping that this is finally it....
The baby's bed is all set up next to ours.
Going home outfit is washed and packed.
We have clothes, diapers, formula, bottles...everything all ready to be used. (It looks like a baby store exploded all over the house.)
Here is the plan:
8 AM- Call the pediatrician.
9AM- Call the agency to confirm all the hospital paperwork was faxed to them.
9:30 AM- Go to the bank to get ceritified check for full placement fee amount. Yikes.
10ish AM- Head to agency to start filling out paperwork.
After hours of paperwork torture....go to the hospital to pick baby up!!!
Then bring him home.....EEEEEK.
Can this really be happening?!
Oh, and we officially have a name picked out....
Jayden :)
