Blueeyes,

We didn't wind up using AA - I signed up with them then they refused to use my homestudy, we live in a fairly rural location and it took 6 months to get so I wasn't too interested in getting an update so we went with a faciliator instead. Our PBMom is several, several states away as well. She would like us in the delivery room if we can, the logistics are iffy though since it would take us nearly a full day to get there from here flying. So we'll see. Her last one they scheduled induction a week before due date so that the Amom could be there. If there's any way to do that we'd definitely be there, but I don't want to ask her to induce, we'll just wait and see.

I didn't get as far on the room as I would have liked today. I'm off this week and really want it done, but it's just a wreck. Plus it's painted an alien green so that needs to be done for sure. My daughter wanted a jungle room a few years ago, didn't turn out that well. That's a good idea leaving the bed in the room. We have a single in ours right now and I've been wondering if we should leave it or not. We spent a lot of time sleeping seperated when we had DD, so might be worthwhile at least for the first several months. I am hoping to finish geting the boxes out and start taping for paint tomorrow. DH hates it when I paint so I might be able to get him to do it.

So that must be frustrating having so many details up in the air. We know we are traveling, her state is supposed to be good for adoption laws. We are paying some expenses as well, but were advised by the agency today who's worked with her previously that she may ask for more, which is frustrating. Have you met your PBMom? You said she'd delivered before, I know every pregnancy is different, but did she deliver early or late? Ours has delivered pretty much within the week of due date each time, not that you can count on consistency, but still, at this point you hold on to every bit of information you have.

Well I'm glad you joined the thread, so funny our due dates match, that must be a good sign right?
