Where do I begin? Jimmy and I are in North Dakota right now. We have been corresponding with a birth mom since May 3rd. We were waiting to make an announcement until things became more official through the agency, but we’re about as close to official as possible right now (:-)
Amy went into labor Saturday night, and was in the hospital. We bought our plane ticket around 11pm, and got up at 3:30am to catch a 6am flight. It was so exciting I never fell asleep, and Jimmy only slept for 2 hours since we didn’t get to bed until 1:30am.
When we got to our layover in Minneapolis, Amy said that they were discharging her to wait at home until her water breaks. We feel like it was a blessing being able to meet her while she was still pregnant. She is a beautiful young lady, and so sweet!
We also had the privilege of meeting the birth father, Zack, and his parents. Zack is awesome too, and has a fun personality. His parents are both very kind, and everyone just wants what is best for the baby.
We’re all hoping Amy can have the baby as soon as possible, she is in lots of pain, and very uncomfortable. Please pray for her, Zack, and their families.
Below are some pictures of the baby’s nursery. Amy wanted to name her Lillian, after her grandma, and we love the name too!
Congratulations!!!!! I hope everyhting goes well with the delivery and I can’t wait to see pictures.
