We bought a crib
So last night, Mike and I went shopping. We bought a crib and a pack 'n play. We also picked up a crib sheet and a couple of blankets. We looked at carseats while we were out, but they did not have a good selection. We will have to find some time to drive to Tupelo or Jackson to find something better. Mike put the crib up last night, and it looks ready to have a couple of babies in it, so exciting. We bought the pack 'n play to take with us to Atlanta. There is a good chance that the babies will have to be in the hospital while we have to be there, but if there is a chance we can take them home, but still need to stay in GA, we will have them sleep in the pack 'n play or their carseats, depending what works best for them. It is so fun to think of all this.
We have a lot of support from everyone around us. So many people have offered to give us things, like diapers, formula, clothes, that their little ones didn't use or grew out of. I am sure before we know it our house will be full of baby stuff. The ward is throwing me a shower next week. In a way if still feels weird to have a shower, but I am excited for it too. Many people that adopt don't have a shower until after the baby comes, but everything just feels so right, and it would be nice to have more things before the babies get here, so we feel more prepared.
We found out a few more details this week. I am going to refer to the birthmother as "our angel" from now on as I want to call her something different than the birthmother and we do not know her name. Our angel is currently seeing her dr. on a weekly basis, where they are doing u/s each time to make sure the babies are continuing to grow well. She told her worker that she would save the u/s pics for us, which I think is so sweet of her. The dr. will not take the babies before 34 weeks, which would be about 3 weeks from now, but it appears he would like her to go longer than that. She is understandably getting more uncomfortable and would like the babies to come as early as possible. So still not sure when it will actually happen. We were told that we could be at the hospital when they are born but we are not sure on the exact details. I hope that means we can see the babies right after they are born.
Things are starting to feel real, and I am so excited for all that will take place in the next month and beyond. I walked by the crib this morning (it is in our room) and I just wanted to cry, I am so happy. Mike thinks I am weird, but I don't care. It is finally happening for us, and we are truly blessed.
