We have some updated news--and I'm attempting to bring you, my loyal readers, the brief version. :) Our match with the birthmom due in December fell through a couple weeks ago and we were told about another possible match in the same phone conversation with our social workers. Although it was disappointing, the last two weeks have been exciting with the new possibility. I talked to the birthmom on the phone a few times and we hit it off really well.
She's in Little Rock and invited us to her dr. appt. that was today so we went down on Saturday evening and stayed with my aunt & uncle who live near there. Last night we met her (Mia) and took her to supper where we spent a couple hours talking and getting to know each other. The three of us get along great and enjoyed spending time together! This morning we picked her up and took her to the dr. appointment with a high-risk dr. (blood pressure issues) where we got to see the ultrasound! That was an awesome experience although we would have had no clue what we were looking at if the dr. hadn't narrated--and we can't really make heads or tails of the pictures we brought home. :P
We know that it's a BOY, due October 8th, but will probably be delivered early due to mom's high blood pressure etc. But time will tell. He's about 3 lb. 9 oz. today--hopefully he grows enough before the next u/s or else that will be reason enough to speed up his delivery date for sure. We'll continue to talk to Mia and I plan to go down next Wednesday for her regular check-up then we'll both go down the following Tuesday for her follow-up appt. and u/s with the high-risk dr. again.
The social worker will call us in the next day or so to come sign the official match paperwork and we'll plan on having a baby sometime in the next 2-6 weeks as much as we can unless something changes the plan. :) So for us, the adoption process just continues to move along. Whether or not this will lead to our "forever family" is something that only time can tell--but it definitely feels like we're headed in the right direction!
Have a great week, everyone!
