So yesterday A was supposed to have a Dr's appt, she told me to call her at our normal time..6pm. So I call at 6 anxious to see how things went...no answer. So I call 15 minutes later and again no answer! I'm starting to go a little crazy for the first time. Jess and Andy make us dinner and the 4 of us head to the movies. Defintely needed a distraction. About 30 minutes into the movie A's mom calls and says they are at the hospital!!!!!!
A took a nap after the Dr's appt, when she woke up her water broke. So we ran out of the movies back to their house we all packed the car in about 2 seconds and we were off.
Arriving at the hospital was just the craziest thing! We couldn't believe we were actually there. We went in and went up to L&D, it was so weird...we told the nurses who we were looking for and they told us what room to go to...I wanted to ask them to introduce us or something...i don't think they realized we have never met A and her mom before!!
So we went down and knocked on the door her mom answered and I just gave her a hug. It was so awesome to finally be there! A looks just like her picture..freckles and brown hair :) We hung out with them for a little while and just chit chatted. She was feeling fine at that point, no contractions. We were told if she didn't start on her own she would be induced at 3am. We were all tired so we left around 12 to get some sleep. When we were leaving A's mom started to cry a little and said she was so happy we came into their lives. Aweseome. I can't even explain her, there is just something about her that I am drawn too, she's an amazing woman. A was great too, very easy to talk to and joke around with, she seems confident about all this. Her school starts on Monday so she was already talking about when she would go back. It's actually perfect timing, she can start her new life.
Midnight...arriving at the hotel
UPDATE 9:30 am: She was induced and has since had an epidural, now she is resting. Her mom will call when things start moving along and we'll head back over.

Okay, jedwhetten.blogspot.com, just look at some of his older posts. I think there are three chapters so far on the adoption issue.
