Pictures of our room in Omaha

Omaha Nebraska... the wait...

Christmas is 5 days away... we are here in beautiful Omaha, Nebraska.  We are staying in a nice hotel room, Embassy Suites.  It is a big two room suite.  We have spent the day picking up a Christmas tree, and then decorating our room.

Little JJ is battling a cold and hardly has a voice.

We spoke with Laura from the law office here.  We need to meet with them and get some paperwork signed.

We have spoken with the incredible angel that is gifting us a daughter.  We are planning to go to dinner tomorrow night, but she did mention she has been having contractions all day.

Maybe we will get a call tonight...

We have made a list of things we need to be ready to grab and head to the hospital.  A diaper bag, a suitcase full of things for us and JJ to stay awhile.

I think we are going to take JJ to an urgent care tomorrow for a check up, his cold is pretty bad, and we better get checked out just in case.  Last thing we want is for one of us to have to stay behind for this event.  But I think the hospital will not let him in the room with us if he is sick.

Packing and Planning

Well it's happening!!  We are matched and we need to head to Omaha Nebraska.  So many arrangements need to be made... Christmas shopping, packing, lists... lists... events at school, KSG party, Cherrison Party, Millspaugh party. Presents to bring to each, baby items needed... oh yeah and I want to breastfeed... how am I going to get that going?? 

Building a Relationship

We finally spokw with the birthmom, that is what the adoption world calls her.  I want to call her an angel!  We spoke on the phone and learned a little more about each other.  She is a sweet woman.  Our conversation was about an hour but seemed shorter.  I wanted to know so much but wanted to give us more time to talk again... 

She picked us, thats a for sure.

My head is spinning!  Is this happening?
