Better not be foolin!

Wow I can't believe we are already saying this but we have a birthmother! We are so thrilled. Its surreal though. The following clip perfectly showcases how we feel (despite the crummy quality). Ok so we are Lloyd and our birthmother and the prospect of getting a baby is Harry.

"Better not be foolin!" keeps going through my head. We felt an instant connection to our sweet birthmother. It was just like other times in our life together when we were facing some big life change: if it was right it was just so easy and seamless. Its not like we get a heavenly memo confirming that what we were doing was correct but we do feel a peace and ease that is an unmistakable communication of the Spirit. And so it was the same on Thursday when we met our birthmother. Of course there were some anxious feelings. We worried that she wouldn't like us in person, or that we wouldn't know what to say or not to say. I'm sure she was just as nervous, probably more. We exchanged numbers and have been texting and getting to know each other a bit better. Its dorky but we are so excited that each text is a gem to us. It just makes it real.

Our baby is due March 6th. So after 8 years of trying to conceive, 3 miscarriages and many tears shed, we have just 6 more months! And yes I totally have a day countdown (198) and yes I keep waking up at night thinking about our birthmother and our baby. I am so grateful to this amazing woman who is perfectly demonstrating selfless love and blessing us with our baby.
