Florida or Bust

We left for Florida yesterday morning, and finally made it here around 1:30 am. It was an uneventful drive south, and took us about 17 hours to get to Clearwater. Lots of quality time for discussing names and infant care basics. The CR-V is great for traveling, so we were happy with the timing of our recent purchase!

On the way here we received a call from the agency. The birthmother had her doctor's appointment yesterday afternoon, and her doctor has decided to keep the c-section scheduled for Wednesday morning. We are going to move our lunch with her up to Monday though, just in case. We also found out that she does want us to be at the hospital for the delivery, and I know we are incredibly lucky to have this opportunity. Evidently there is even a window through which we can watch the c-section. Will I pass out at the first sight of blood? Place your bets now, folks!

  4. I am so excited for you. Every time I see your empty office first I am sad and then I remember why and get excited again. too many mixed emotions at one time. and your office is right across from mione! That's a lot of emotion!
    I love this blog! Great pictures!
    And I can't wait to see the next ones! Have fun and relax as much as you can before the big day!Watch the c Section? Sounds grosser than Grey's Anatomy but probably something you would regret missing. You could always cover your eyes during the gross part and peek through your fingers like at a scary movie so you don't miss anything! Don't post pictures of the gross parts, okay?
