Update

We're being sent the contract from our agency this morning. Our potential birthmom is going to see a doctor and have an ultra sound to check gender, but most importantly, to check for damage done by drugs. She'll also have another drug test. I'm struggling so much with trying not to get too excited and too hopeful. I feel like I've waited for so long to be able to match and shout it from the rooftops, but now that it's so close to actually happening, I feel hesitant. I just don't know if I could handle it if something falls through. I know adoption is never a guarantee, but I feel like the next six weeks waiting for the baby to be born and then the wait for her to sign is going to be very emotional and stressful. Do I go ahead and buy more stuff? Once we find out the gender, do I buy some little clothes?
This is SO scary!!
Thanks for the support! :)

I am SOOO excited for you!!!!!!! I hope the ultrasound goes well and you find out there is no damage to teh baby due to any drug use. I have been told that a Cocaine baby or meth baby is still better then an alcohol baby because it stays in there system much less than alcohol. Good luck, that is so exciting!!!!!!!!!!

How long have you been waiting for a match?

Thanks so much you guys! We started with our consultant over the summer, but we weren't home study ready until Sept. It's felt like an eternity, but if this works out I know our wait time has been nothing compared with what some people go through.
I'll keep you guys posted! Thanks for the support, again!

First, you are in my prayers!

Secondly, I'd buy onsies, receiving blankets, car seat, and nappies with wipes.

Gosh, if I were you I'd make up a list and give it to a friend with a Visa gift card charged to like $200 for her to run to Walmart once the baby comes to get every thing on the list while I was in the hospital with hubby and baby. Then again I've got soooo much for baby already... I can't imagine not being ready. LOL!! What can I say I was obsessed. LOL!!
