So we switched agency's in May! We were told that our wait would probably be fairly short... we didn't get our hopes up TOO much LOL! Last Thurs we got THE call that we were picked by a Biomom (@ 215) and she would like to meet us asap. Her due date was July 22, but having contractions that day. We set up a time to meet for this past Mon. WELL at 815 we got another call that she was in labor and would like us to come to the hospital!!!!! WOW!!!
off we went! We met her at the hospital (via a nurse who was updated as to what was happening by the sw). Our meeting was wonderful and we spent the next 11 hours with her until the baby was born Fri morning!!! BOY!! 6# 5oz, 19 in long. Breathing was good for being four weeks early but had some sugar problem the first day...all good now. We spent most of the weekend at the hospital with biomom and baby!! She is an amazing woman!!! We felt very good about the time we spent with her and liked her very much...hopefully that was mutual. Biomom was discharged on Sat. Baby come home with us on Sun. I have new mom worries...his jaundice was fairly bad (looking better today) and his circumcision looks swollen to me today so I called nurse (waiting for call back). I am hoping that it is just the platibell coming off and the exposed skin just irritated by the diaper!!!!
We are in the risk period of biomom changing her mind until July 29!!! This worries me as I cannot living without him! He is absolutely precious!!! I never knew I could love another fella more than I love dh!!! Until now that is
I just had to share our whirl wind experience, though not over, I am praying it all works our for us this time... (we had a failed match 3 mos ago with our old agency...we got the bad call thirty mins before we were leaving to pic up baby, and had spent time with her in the hosp!!!)
