Hi Everyone,
I'm writing because I don't know what else to do. I feel like a tightly wound string. Our emom is due any day now. Actually she was due yesterday. We've been talking to each other every day, so she keeps me posted. Other than some contractions early Saturday morning, she's not had any impending labor signs. She'll go in for her appointment on Wednesday and they will decide on induction.
If it all comes to pass, this will be our first child after years of infertility. I'm excited, worried, and scared all at the same time.
Any advice as to how to get through the next few days?

Liana, my DD's birth mom had contractions for a week before her birth....I knew nothing about the "labor" process, so I thought birth was imminent EVERY SECOND...I was a wreck! hang in there and good luck...

Thanks, Loveajax. I'm just finding the waiting to be excruciating. Tomorrow she has her appointment to find out if they plan to induce or not.

As an experienced mom of three the best advice I can give you is to "try" to sleep as much as possible before the baby comes. Once you have a baby you will never have the freedom to sleep when you want for as long as you want again! LOL Good luck and keep us posted!

She's here! Zara Elyse was born today, May 2nd, at 2:29 PM. She weighed 7 lb, 2 oz and is beautiful. If all goes as planned, we will take her home from the hospital on Friday. I am thrilled. :love: :love: :love:
Thanks for all your support! :thanks:

Congratulations! I love the name. Can't wait to hear the good news!
In fact, when waiting for our last placement, I had chosen both a girl's name and a boy's name (actually, we always did this), and our girl's name was Elyse Amelia. Of course, since EA are the same initials of our son, Eryk Anthony, that name will never get used. It'd just be too weird, I think.
And soon, you can update your signature line with Zara's arrival!

Hi Everyone,
I am loving life right now! Zara is such a joy to both of us. How did she grow in our heart so quickly? :love: :love:
The adoptive breastfeeding is going very well. Zara latches on very well. She's even managed to nurse without the supplementer. I'm so encouraged.
I'm still holding my breath hoping that Zara's first mother doesn't change her mind. We have until the 17th.
Thanks again for all your good thoughts! :thanks:
