5 days to go :)

I really and truly can not believe that it all comes down to just 5 more days. I am sooo excited that I am having difficulty concentrating and thinking about anything else. I have this weekend then Monday and Tuesday at work (how useful will I be??) and then we are off to California on Wednesday morning!

I got a call from the birthmother last week after she talked to her OB and she has a last appointment with her Wednesday at 10 am  then has to meet with the pre-op team at 2 pm. We will be landing in California around 2ish and it is a 2 hour drive from the airport to her, so we should get to her around dinner time. She wants to go to Outback as her last pregnant meal so we will take her there and talk about the plan for the next day. I offered to take her to the hospital in the morning, but she declined.

She is slated to have her c-section begin at 7:30am Thursday so he should be born by 8am!!!!!!!!

5 days until I am finally a mom :) These are going to be some looooooong days.

Dusty called and talked with her for a while yesterday. He hadn't spoken with her since we visited her in October. All communication has basically gone through me, so I thought it would be nice if he touched base with her too. He said she sounded a little confused at first, but Dusty is sooooo much better at small talk and such than I am so they settled into it pretty quickly. She told him that she really wants to have him on Monday or Tuesday and have us come on Wednesday to take him home. If only it were that simple :) She reassured him that she won't be changing her mind which is great. I am still trying to remind myself that she could just so that it isn't so shocking if she does.

I will probably post one more time before we head out and then we will be gone. I will not be posting any photos or information until we are safely in our hotel with Wyatt, so hang in there if you don't hear from me. I really, really, really appreciate everyone's support and love through all of this. It has made it much easier to get through all the stressful parts. Here is to hoping I won't need you all again to help me through the emergency list happenings.
