Update: J's in there pushing right now. It was a LONG night. I'm running on empty, but super excited to meet this little guy! Luckily Jeremy and Anna got great sleep. And I miss my baby terribly.
Well, it looks like our son's birthday won't be till April 5... Not much going on here, still sitting and waiting. I sent Jeremy home with Anna to get some sleep. I don't think I could sleep if I wanted to.

Labor Update
Today started off kinda crazy. We woke up to Anna coughing like crazy. She's had this cough for weeks now, but shd could hardly stop this morning. So I rushed to the doctor's office real fast before we went to the hospital. She's fine, just a cold, but I wanted to make sure it was nothing contagious before we (hopefully) bring a baby home!
So we've been here at the hospital since like 9. We went home to hang out with Anna for a little while at lunch. Leaving her has been hard. We've never left her this long before (or really at all!).
J has been on pitocin since like 8 this morning. Last she was checked, she really hadn't had any change although she's having contractions pretty close together. She was very chipper and chatty this morning. But as the afternoon went on, you can tell it's wearing on her.
The hospital gave us a room so we've been hanging out here for a little while so that she can take a nap. We're going to head out and get some dinner here in a little bit and hopefully come back to some action.
We're just hoping we have a baby tonight!
And it's looking like there could potentially be some birthfather issues, so please keep us in your prayers as more is figured out on that. We're just hoping things go smoothly from here on out. We know birthmom is very solid and so is her mom, but the birthfather situation makes us a little bit nervous.
Hopefully I'll get a chance to update later. We've actually been in the room with J most of the time, so I haven't really had time to post!

4/4
Apparently I had some posts already written and scheduled this week. Apparently I thought it would be just a regular week!
We were wrong, not a regular week, we're having a baby tomorrow! They scheduled an induction for tomorrow morning at 7am. We're nervous and excited and impatient.
We can't wait to meet our son.
And at the same time, spending so many hours away from Anna is making me extremely anxious. We've never left her for more than an hour or two. And that was always at or after bedtime. But we're very fortunate to have wonderful family in town who would jump at the opportunity to watch her!
I'll try to keep the blog updated tomorrow. If nothing else, for my parents and sister. My parents went to Spain to visit my sister this week, what a week to be gone! But I know they're enjoying their time with Julie. And it's good motivation for me to keep updated!
And this is a random sidenote, but I think someone gave these kids goofy pills this morning. Wow, they are being so silly! Such a switch from yesterday, it was Whiny Monday! I'd so much rather have Silly Tuesday!

Birthmom Meeting Part 2
We met with the birthmom and her mom again today. We went to a park and let Anna play.
It was wonderful. It was very relaxed and very comfortable. Such a total 180 from our first birthmom experience.
We really get along with them. Our idea of openness and theirs is the same. And the fact that Anthony will have another grandparent in his life is just wonderful. And J kept calling Anna the Big Sister. Which made me melt over and over again. At the end of the meeting, J asked if she coud hold Anna or a minute. Anna wasn't really having it, she wanted down to play, but J said "Be careful, you're brother's in there, tell him to come out soon!"
She had an appt today and without going into detail, it looks like her body's getting ready to get that baby out. They talked about inducing her Tuesday if she wants. She's 40 weeks on Tuesday and I think they're trying to avoid Easter weekend to be honest. But we'll know more then.
They wanted us to call them sometime this weekend and maybe meet again. That's how much we enjoyed our time together.
So once again, I'm going to be greedy and ask for prayers. I can't wait to hold this little guy!

Birthmom Meeting
Our meeting with the birthmom, J, went fantastically today. We hit it off really well. She kept repeating how much she liked us and how confident she felt in her decision. That was good to hear. Her mom was with her and is very supportive of her adoption play.
Basically, J knows that she can't parent. There are some things in her life that prevent her from doing so. But at the same time, she wants to be in this baby's life. She expressed that she knew that if she chose to parent, the reality is that her mother would be the one to care for the baby. Her mother does not want that responsibility as she has just hit retirement and isn't physically up to it. J and her mother both agree that what is best for the child is an adoption plan.
And that's where we came in. They both LOVED our video and profile. They described us as bubbly and down to earth. In reality, I don't feel "bubbly" but I think they meant "enthusiastic." We'll go with that :-). In addition to loving our video within minutes of watching it, once they saw pictures of Anna, they knew we were the family for this baby. Anna is certainly a magnet for people. That's a whole other post in and of itself. If I had a dollar for every time I heard "Your daughter is the most beautiful baby I've ever seen" or "She looks like a doll", we'd have her college fund saved already.
So anyway, back to my point. They fell in love with Anna immediately. They loved us to begin with and seeing her confirmed it, so thank you Anna! This is all very humbling. Again, a post for another day, but wow, it really shows me how God's hand is in all of this.
I can't share too many details about J due to confidentiality issues, but I can definitely say that she is a very strong lady. And I admire her willingness to do what is best for this baby. She definitely wants to have a part in his life, but she knows that she cannot be the parent that he needs. She wants an open relationship and that is one of the reasons she chose us. She wants to be able to visit and keep updated. She wants to be able to see him grow up and have him know who she is. Her mother wants the same. That makes me so happy. We don't have that with Anna and I so wish we did. It's a really powerful thing to be able to say thank you to the woman who carried your child for 9 months.
We talked about a lot, including the hospital stay and extended contact.
But I think what I am most excited about is the name we agreed on. In our first adoption situation, we had a major name gap. Our name and her name were not even on the same planet. J, however, had a name picked out that she wanted us to use as a first or a middle name. The name was Xavier. When she said this, Jeremy and I both looked at each other and knew we agreed. This would be the perfect middle name. What a solidly Catholic name! The name we have picked out is Anthony.
So if all goes accordingly, baby boy will be Anthony Xavier. And that just makes me smile. What a beautiful name for a beautiful boy. That made us feel so at peace with this whole situation. Something so simple really connected us and J and made us both smile at the thought of our son's name.
This post is seemingly random, my emotions have been high and my sleep has been low. So I'm not running off of much. I am so relieved after this meeting and yet I have more nerves than ever.
Finally, they moved her due date up a few days. She's now due on April 3. They won't let her go past April 10. We're hoping it's this week... But that's just cause we don't want to wait two more weeks! We're meeting her again Friday, this time at a park. So that she can meet Anna (we didn't take her with today). She was super excited to meet Anna, who she thinks is just absolutely adorable. And it will be right after her doctor's appointment, so I'm excited to hear about that.
Whew, that's all I can think of for now. I'm exhausted and going to bed.
Prayers are greatly appreciated for J, Anthony, and us as well. Thanks, in advance!

Getting ready
I never got a chance to go into "nesting" mode with Anna. She came so suddenly, that what was done, was done and what wasn't, well, it stayed undone for a long time. I did "nest" with our first adoption situation but I didn't really know what needed done.
This time around, I am in full out cleaning and organizing and purging mode. I've been in that mode for weeks, but it's kicked into high gear the last few days. I'm getting rid of so much that we no longer need to make room for what we hopefully need very soon :-).
And at the same time I'm reserved. I mentioned it in my Quick Takes, but I'm scared of a fallthrough. I'm scared of aquiring all this boy stuff only to have the birthmom choose to parent. And on one hand, I've thought that I'd be better off going about as normal and not getting any baby stuff our or really preparing in any way.
And then I sat in Adoration for a few minutes on Sunday (as long as I could sit with a squirmy toddler). I realized that God was asking me to put my whole heart back into the adoption process. While of course, we were 100% ready to be back in circulation, I hadn't yet allowed myself to get my hopes up. I need to let my guard down and allow myself to have that hope.
So I'm cleaning. And I'm organizing. And I'm purging. And I'm praying that all goes smoothly and quickly.
And I'm extremely nervous about our birthmom meeting tomorrow. I've done it before, but maybe that's what makes me nervous. I don't want this situation to be like that one.
So if you get a chance, say a few prayers for us and for the birthmom and baby tomorrow. I hope that I'll feel more at ease after meeting her and talking with her. I'm extremely excited to develop a relationship with her, I want that so bad with Anna's birthmom. But that doesn't make me less nervous.

Friday Quick Takes (17)
The "Oh my goodness, we're having another baby in 2 weeks!" Edition
I never in my wildest dreams would have guessed we'd have two babies 13 months apart. I feel so incredibly blessed. And it feels sort of like a dream. I'm hoping it will seem a lot more real once we meet the birthmom on Tuesday. And hopefully totally real in a few weeks when we're living life with two babies!
When our caseworker first called and said that the due date was April 6, my mind immediately thought, "sheesh, I have to wait a whole month?" That shows you how with it I've been the last few weeks. April 6 is only two weeks away. That means she's like 38 weeks pregnant and could have that baby any time now! Yikes!
I'm nervous about how Anna will react to the new baby. She is super jealous when I hold anyone else's kid, especially if it's a baby. I know kids adjust quickly, especially kids Anna's age, but I hate for her to feel like her territory's being encroached on! But I also know she will quickly love her baby brother and want to help.
I'm scared of another fallthrough. I'll just come right out and say it. We've been through it once and I don't want to go through it again. I thought (just for a tiny second) about keeping this quiet until the baby was here. I also thought about avoiding getting the house ready for another baby. And then I realized that I am TERRIBLE at keeping things quiet and even worse at being unprepared. I also firmly believe that support and prayers are what get us through rough times so why would I turn that down? How can I turn down prayers for this baby, even if it turns out he doesn't get to be MY baby?
All the things to do are kind of overwhelming. With Anna, we had our entire homestudy/licensing/approval/waiting process to get ready for a baby. With this one, we've just recently put all of the baby stuff away and toddlerized the house. We kind of assumed the wait would be long. I don't know why, I guess I just assumed the worst case. Well, lo and behold, the wait was way short and I find myself scrambling to finish it all tonight. Because that's how I am.
So I'm currently washing newborn diapers ready for a cute newborn bum. I washed all of our baby boy newborn clothes from our adoption fallthrough. And boy are they cute! I pulled out blue blankets and baby bottles. We're hoping to be able to use the name we had picked out, so I pulled out the letters that I'd already made and the bottle labels that I had printed (hopefully the birthmom likes it...the last birthmom did NOT). I got the carseat out of the crawlspace and have to figure out how to rearrange the carseats in the van. We had to talk about Godparents and Baptism dates. We had to talk about sleeping arrangements down the road and who gets what room and when (I know, good problem to have). I got out the swing and bouncy seat and set the infant sleep and play rocker in our room.
I kind of feel like my mind is spinning. Now I'm going to be bored tomorrow because I HAD to do it all tonight! That's the story of my life :-).
Sorry for the overload of all things new baby, but that's pretty much all that's on my mind at the moment... And I'm sure it will be for the next couple of weeks. And I'm so excited that I can't sleep and I hardly ate today! I don't want to wake up and have it all just be a dream!
And one more thing... How did this little teeny tiny peanut girl....
Turn into this big toddler?
 |
| She was very thirsty after helping her Aunt Sara and Uncle Kel move into their new house. A big cup for a big girl :-) |
I hope this next baby grows up a little slower!

It's a Boy!
It's the post I've been waiting to write!!! (Okay, admittedly, it's only been a month, but I'm so NOT patient!)
If all goes well, we will be parents to a baby boy sometime in the next two weeks!
We just got a call from our case worker that we've been identified again. The birthmom is due on April 6 with a baby boy and she would like to meet us on Tuesday!
Right now it seems as if it's a pretty sure thing. There may be some birthfather issues that need worked out, so the baby will probably be in newborn care after he's born. But the birthmom did say she'd like to see us in the hospital and that she wants us to have visiting rights while he's in newborn care.
There's so much I have to do! Wash newborn clothes, wash newborn diapers, set up our infant sleeper, make some freezer food, oh my goodness, the list is endless!
So please say extra prayers for the birthmom, baby boy, for us, and for Anna, that she has a smooth transition!!!!
I can't even think straight right now!
For someone who is infertile, it is quite a joy to think that we will have two babies just 13 months apart. I cannot believe this is happening to us, what a huge blessing. God is so good to us! And wow, I don't think I can ever look at Lent as penitential again... Two years in a row? That's just crazy talk!

Journey to Adoption #2
I've mentioned a few times about our beginning of the journey to Adoption #2. I mentioned meeting with our case worker.
Well, we met with our case worker and are just so excited to begin. At teh first of the year, we'll begin our second homestudy. We'll go back through all of our paperwork, editting where needed. Luckily, we did the paperwork the first time not that long ago, so not much will need editting. We will them redo/revise our profile. We will also do another video.
Our caseworker said that we could be back into circulation very early next year. That makes me SO HAPPY!
The first time around, it took about 3 months for our Homestudy to be approved (this is after we had done everything WE needed to do), our licensing to go through, and our profile to go into circulation. Thinking timeline for #2, I was hoping it would be shorter.
Our caseworker confirmed that. Our license is still valid, check. Our Homestudy was approved the first time and because we're quite involved and attend all of the functions Catholic Charities puts on, the director of CC knows us well. This means that getting our second Homestudy approved is no big deal, they already know us and don't need to start fresh, check. The birthmom counselors already know us (because our profile was shown to a lot of birthmoms the first time) so going into circulation is so much faster the second time around, check.
The process is much easier, less time intensive, and much easier this time around. That makes me SO HAPPY!
In addition, there are A LOT of birthmoms right now. In fact, our caseworker almost called us to ask us come up with a profile quick last week to show a birthmom because we fit her qualifications perfectly, despite not yet being homestudy approved. They found a few other families though, and although bm hasn't picked anyone yet, she's pretty sure they will. But that's great, our caseworker already wants our profile out there.
Due to our openness, we fit a lot of birthmoms' criteria. We also have a child of a minority race already in our home, making us more appealing to birthmoms of a minority race because we're already "walking that walk" as our case worker put it. The bms can then feel confident that we'll welcome any child with open arms, and boy would they be right :-).
All of this makes me hopeful for a quick wait time. But at the same time, I'm realistic. I know it could be a long time, it could be years. And in reality, I'm okay with that. I'm in a different place than I was alast year, waiting the first time. We have Anna. And I'm confident that God has a plan and that His plan is best. I KNOW that I will survive through a fallthrough. I KNOW that God will bless us with another child if that is His plan. And I KNOW that through it all, I can stare at my beautiful baby girl and confirm God's love for me. This time around, I have hope, something I didn't always have last time. I have peace. I have joy. And I have willingly given up control.
The thought of adding another child to our family makes me giddy with excitement. I LOVE being a mom and I can't wait to see the plans God has for us.
On a less happy note, please say an extra prayer for the birthmom we were matched with first (our fallthrough). Our caseworker gives us updates on her once in a while and we received some sad news about her situation. Please pray for her and her children. I truly believe God put her in our lives for a reason and right now that reason is to offer prayers.
