You may remember this post almost 2 weeks ago. That was Friday, January 28! If you remember, the attorney told us to pray and that she would be in contact on Monday morning. I thought and “prayed” all weekend and came to the conclusion, “We won’t able to move forward, it’s too much, too soon…it’s too expensive!” My plan was to call the attorney on Monday morning and let her know we weren’t going to move forward.
We went to church Sunday evening and returned home around 8pm. I found my place on the couch and was settling in when my phone rang. I looked at the caller ID; it was the attorney! I didn’t answer the phone and waited for her to leave a voicemail.
She did and she said, “Christie, listen, “J” is in labor and she wants to speak to you!” What, wait, it’s not Monday morning yet and it sure isn’t the end of February! I rushed into the bathroom and let Q listen to the message…he looked at me and said, “Call her back!” Are you crazy!? I stalled for another hour, calling friends and our parents. Around 10:30pm the attorney called again…I answered the phone. My hands were shaking, I was sick to my stomach, I was scared! The next thing I knew, we were on 3 way with the birthfather and he wanted to know what we wanted the name to be!
…to be continued…
