Let's Try That Again Please!

Well, we got a phone call at 7:45am telling us that our birth mom was in labor and at the hospital. My words to Nana (her grandma)were "Holy Crap!" She giggled and said she was only dilated to a one and would call us in an hour and let us know if she was progressing. I tried my damndest to go back to sleep, but couldn't. I decided to get up and take a shower before Nana called us back...when I got out of the shower Bubba was actually up and out of bed CLEANING!!! Let's just say he had some nervous energy to burn. Nana called back and said she was still at a one, so she was going to go for a walk and they would call us in a few more hours. LONGEST TWO HOURS E.V.E.R.!!! Birth mom actually called back and said she hadn't progressed anymore so they were sending her home. She then went on to tell me that her contractions were very strong, painful and very close together and that it would probably happen today or tonight. I asked her what she wanted us to do and she invited us to "hang out" for a while with her and her family and maybe it would happen while we were there. As the nice, dutiful adoptive couple we are, we complied with our gorgeous birth mom's wishes. We drove our 1 1/2 hours and spent the afternoon getting to know our birth mom and her family a little bit better. She took us to the hospital and showed us around so we would know where we were going. As we said our goodbyes, she started having contractions again. So, who knows...maybe the next time I blog I'll actually be a MOMMY!!!
