Exclamation Nervous, We are getting 2 girls

Where to start. My wife and I started the process of getting approved for adoption about this time last year, we have our forster license, our homestudy is done... Basically we are ready to adopt.
We got a call about 3 hours ago from our social worker, they have matched us to two little girls one is 17 months and the other 2 years old. Ohhhh my wife and I both are soooo nervous, we are meeting the social worker and little girls tomorrow at 4:00pm... We are veryyyy excited, but a little afraid... not because we are unsure of decision to adopt (I am adopted, so its not an unusual event) but what worries me is that I am very quiet and reserved and I don't want the social worker to think I am uninterested or I dont want the children to think I don't like them. I am just unsure what to say and a little afraid I might intimidate them, I 6'-1 and 300 pounds, although everyone who knows me, knows that I am a gentle giant. My wife and I both want kids sooo much... I just don't want to screw up the first meeting it being so important.

Anyone have any ideas?

I have always know that I would adopt, being adopted myself I have to repay the debt. I have wonderful parents and a great extended family.

Thanks
Sorry to be so long with this.
