This was my last visit with Brent & Stacy* until placement day... I'm glad they got a chance to come see em one more time. They didn't arrive until around dinnertime on Saturday. We had a plan to go to On the Border because I had a craving for Mexican. Haha. I made sure to take my scrapbook to show them what I have completed so far. We had a wait until we could be seated, so we sat on a bench outside & the two of them looked at my scrapbook. It seemed like they liked it... and I believe they will share it with Jake*, when they feel it's the right time. Once they were done looking at the scrapbook, I knew it was time to tell them about the inducement. So I told them that our son will be born by next week.They were excited & speechless.I think they were kind of taken back... this happened quickly. It seems like just yesterday they were calling me for the first time . Dinner was awesome. My chicken tacos were delicious. :) We had a funny waiter who got Stacy * to believe the dessert menu was a scratch n' sniff menu. It t was pretty funny. Brent * & I got talking about country music. Haha. He did say that Toby Keith's songs "I wanna talk about me" and High maintenance woman" are about Stacy*. That made me laugh. I'm glad that they can both show me their goofy sides.The last thing we talked about that night was if they wanted to attend a nursery visit with my mom, me & Jake*. Kim looked at me like I was crazy when I asked if my AP's could attend a nursery visit. My logic behind it is this: if I see Brent & Stacy* with Jake- holding him, feeding him, changing him, etc- I'll get a lot of my emotions out so therefore I can attempt to make my placement day more of a celebration... of joining two families. I'm just glad that B&S agreed to attend the nursery visit.
Sunday we went to lunch at the Olive Garden. It was more of a "serious" day today. Over lunch, we hashed out all of my last minute questions. " realized that I never really asked why they chose to adopt. They told me they tried to have kids, but eventually found out they had fertility problems. Next was religion... Jake * won't be baptised but they will have a special offering of him. And last but not least, our son will officially be named Jake Lee*. There were some awkward moments of silence where I think we were all letting it sink in that the next time we will see each other, our son will be there too. It's just a strange thought...
Pregnant? Confused? Not sure what to do? Right now the thoughts and questions you have can be overwhelming. Gladney birth parents have those same thoughts and questions as they make an adoption plan for their babies.
