You may not hear from me for awhile...

So, I leave tomorrow for NM to wait for the baby to be born! Diego will drive straight from Mesa to Albuquerque as soon as he hears birthmom is in labor. In the meantime I'll be kickin' it with my mom in good old Los Alamos.

We had a false alarm on Wednesday! My cell started ringing as I was training my replacement at work. I looked at the screen and saw birthmom's name on it, so naturally I flipped out! She was on her way to the hospital. So I called my husband and we raced home to start packing. She told me she would call us when she knew for sure. About and hour and a half later she called to let us know she was being sent home. Ah man! So, we have been ready for another call any minute these past couple days. Very, very anxious. I feel like I have been waiting for so long, and this moment is actually about to arrive! A year ago today I was recovering from surgery for endometriosis, and was about to endure months and months of horrible fertility tests, treatments, and procedures with no hope in sight of starting a family.

One more word to the birthmother. I love you so much! I know you look at this blog sometimes. What can I say? You mean the world to me. Our friendship has grown so much over these past 6 months. I know so many adoptive couples that would be jealous of the friendship we have. I'm so glad you're a part of our life. You are the strongest person I know. I look at you and I know you will be okay. I just know it. I feel so fortunate. My life has truly been blessed by you.
