M&M were born last night

Last night we received a call from T's SW saying that she was going to take T to the hospital because she was having some pains. She was then going to call us once she got to the hospital and knew more. About 3 hours later she called to tell us they were taking her into surgery and that the babies were going to be born. I told her to call us as soon as they were born, to let us know all the details. She didn't want us coming to Atlanta last night, because she knew we wouldn't be able to see the babies. Around 12:30 am our time she called to tell us the babies were born around 11:30 pm Atlanta time, so 10:30 our time. Marie came first measuring at 4lb 6oz and 16 in. long. Michael is measuring at 5lb 1 oz and 17 in. long. Marie is in NICU on a breathing machine, but they do not expect her to have to be there for longer than a day. We are leaving this morning to head to Atlanta but T wants to spend the day with them today, and so we will probably not be able to see the babies until Tuesday.

Last night I was nervous, but I feel fine now. I wish that I could be there with the babies, but I understand how important it is for T to be able to see them and hold them before she says goodbye to them. As I was talking with T's SW last night she told me that on the way to the hospital they were talking and T asked her if she ever had anyone change her mind. The SW responded to her that yes it does happen and that when it does it is devastating. Then T response was, well you don't have to worry about that with me, I'm not changing my mind. The fact that she asked the question makes me feel that she has thought about it, but I do feel she is very committed to the adoption plan, so I expect all to go well. I don't really feel like a mom yet, probably because I am not until she signs her parental right away. But that is okay because I am still an expecting mom who will soon me a mom and I am so excited.
