10 week countdown!!

I've decided to snap out of my mood and start preparing for bringing home our baby.  I am going to do a weekly countdown on his due date.   Our potential birth mom is 30 weeks!!  That means that this is our longest match, we were matched when she was around 23 weeks and I'm glad we've made it through her second trimester into her third.  In seven more weeks he will be considered full term and we will hopefully have a more accurate idea of when he's coming (she's most likely having a c-section), and we will be making our plans to attend the birth per my hopes and our potential birth mom's wishes.  When we had that amazing phone call (still the only one), she told me 'this is your baby' and she wants us a part of everything.  She is aware that I am preparing to breast feed and she is all for it and comfortable with it which makes for the possibility of the hospital allowing for that.  I have spoken with the hospital and they informed me that most likely Joe and I will be getting a room and that's where we will be with the baby when he's born.  There are still a lot of worries I have.  Please pray for our potential babies birth parents and the health of the baby.  I can only have faith that she is healthy and he will be born healthy.  I tried to just touch base with our case worker via email last Friday morning and she has not replied.  Maybe as time gets closer to his due date she'll be more proactive with staying in touch with me.  That part is frustrating.  Thank you everyone for continuing to ride this journey out with us, I feel like we are so close to bringing home our baby but not without some bumps in the road.  I can only pray it goes smoothly from here on out.
