Well friends, tomorrow is the big day :)
Tomorrow our expectant mother is getting induced!
I have taken "family leave" tomorrow because my maternity leave doesn't kick in until our baby is home.
I plan on doing a lot of cleaning to keep my mind off of the wait.
As I mentioned before, we won't get a call until after the baby has been delivered so I will have NO clue when anything before that will happen. I will just be waiting for the call.
It seems like only yesterday that we decided on domestic adoption after our Ethiopia adoption plans fell through.
I remember the labor of love that was our adoption application and spending every second going over and over it to make sure it was perfect.
finally deciding on the perfect child placing agency.
Adam and I loved creating our profile book. We have a copy that we are keeping for Amelia and "E" asked to keep a copy as well.
I will NEVER forget the day we got "the call," or the emotions I felt for at least a week while I was still in shock from it all :)
And finally, I will remember how I felt the day we went to meet "E." The excitement from before the meeting was nerve wrecking and the peace I felt after the meeting was complete.
I can NOT wait to share the rest of this sweet little story with you all.
Tomorrow our lives will change forever.
I can not wait.
I love you all.
