Meeting and Settling

We met the birthparents yesterday face to face for the first time and it was so natural and relaxed. We thank everyone for the prayers…lunch was truly another answered prayer. We are excited to go with them to the last doctor’s appt tomorrow before the scheduled c-section on Friday. We will get to hear Miss M’s heartbeat. Please continue to prayer for everyone’s health and our time at the hospital as there are many unknowns and lots of details to work out.

Also, we are finding that it is all more emotionally and physically draining than we expected. Yesterday just involved a 2 hour lunch but by the time we got back to the hotel we were exhausted like we had worked a full day. Please pray for minds, bodies and souls to get plenty of rest the next few days before the delivery on Friday.

Today, we checked into the Homewood Suites we will be staying at for the next few weeks. I immediately set to unpacking. I really hate living out of a suitcase. I was also excited to see that we have a two burner stove in the kitchenette with pots and pans so we have already made a trip to Wal-Mart. Between the hotel’s breakfast and weeknight dinners and the kitchenette we will only have to eat out when we chose to which is a huge bonus. I love eating out but it gets less exciting when you have to do it every meal.

On our way to the hotel, we made another stop at a Food Network, Man vs Food, Travel Channel highlighted resturant…Chaps. I got their classic Pit Beef Sandwich and it was good. Bob got “The Raven” with beef, turkey and corned beef. It was excellent. If you can’t tell, we are very much foodies and the Food Network is almost always on one of our TVs. I have another food story about Sunday, but I keep that for tomorrow.
