Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day! Mike and I flew out yesterday;it was our last chance to enjoy an easy breeze through airport security - no stroller, diapers, formula. After all the worldwide adventures we've had together we've definitely become seasoned travelers, but we confess that we are a little stressed thinking about how we will survive flying home with a newborn. We took advantage of the time at the baggage check station to get advice from the Southwest Agent on how not to become "those people." She got a giggle out of us. Last night we picked up our little guy's sweet new "ride." His stroller matches his nursery, and is already decked out with a few fun toys...I think Mike is going to wear out the batteries on the little hanging bug that wiggles; he can't stop playing with it. He's so cute... This morning we are trying to relax; our Birth Mom goes in for her pre-op this afternoon, and we are set to meet her and the Social Worker, "M", at 6AM tomorrow. Originally we were going to meet her for breakfast today; we all thought it would be great to meet in person outside of the hospital setting for the first time. After talking to her last night and this morning, though, we agreed she really just needs to take it easy...she is definitely feeling like this little guy is wanting to come say hello. We are at the ready just in case today winds up being The Day! This Mother's Day I have the fullest heart anyone could ever possibly have. At any moment in the next 24 hours I will be meeting my son; I have the most amazing man by my side, (who is going to be a fantastic Daddy); I have an incredible group of friends, who have kept me sane with all my pre-Mommy jitters; and I have the footsteps of my Mom to follow over the years to come. OK,little guy! We are ready to do this! See you soon!! Xoxo
