Our exciting update!

Sorry for the delay! We've had a VERY busy 2 weeks. We got the call on May 19th that we had been chosen by a birth mother and she was due on June 10th with a Baby Boy. We were thrilled and on vacation in Florida that week, but scheduled a time to meet the birth mother that chose us on May 27th. Well, on May 27th we met her and everything went really well and also found out some exciting news...that she would be induced on Friday, May 30th. So we made plans to finish out our work weeks and head up to the hospital to stay until he arrived. Then on May 28th, they called and said "new plan", she would be induced at 5:30 pm that night. So we gathered up our bags and headed out to make our trip 2 hours away. We got there and things had changed again...she wasn't quite ready yet and would instead be induced early on Thursday morning. So we stayed in a hotel and got to visit with our birth mother for about an hour or so...just hanging out in her hospital room.

The next day, knowing it would probably be a long day, we headed to the hospital about 9am to wait for his arrival. He was way stubborn and didn't make his grand entrance until May 29th at 7:47pm.
