I love to read everyone's stories. They are all so unique and such a significant moment for us all.
With our daughter I was teaching and I heard a faint beep on my cellphone lettting me know I had a message. (just so you know my students couldn't hear it) It was my husband sounding urgent about calling him back. I did, but he was so excited and slightly incoherent that I called our sw who filled me in on the details. Our daughter was born 3 weeks later. She's now 26months.
We go the call about our son on July 22 (last month) saying that a baby boy had been born and were we interested. When I could speak and think I got pertinent info about ** and baby and called my husband (who I didn't get a hold of for 2 agonizing hours) I was supposed to meet him in D.C. that night but called my mom who was babysitting and said there had been a change of plans!!! We had to wait ALL day to see if the ** would sign consent papers that night (at 24 hours). I teetered on being very excited and not wanting to get my hopes up.
At 5:30 the director called and said she had signed. YEAH!! We went to see him the next mornig at the hospital and brought him home the next day. He'll be 4 weeks old on Wednesday and he's a dream!!!
