less than 4 weeks to go!

everything is looking good. i'm terribly fond of the woman who is to be our birthmom. she's funny, sharp and friendly. she let me feel her tummy while the baby was kicking the other day. how perfect that i first felt her kick in a large corner booth at a red lobster. it was magical.

fingers crossed

everything is still looking very good. i can't believe how fast this is happening, but we're nothing but thrilled. hoping to talk to our wonderful birthmom again tonight.

started listening to david sedaris on my ipod (nothing beats his imitation of billie holiday singing the oscar meyer jingle) while cleaning house and while commuting to and from work. this has helped me relax and, of course, laugh. maybe i can try this during midnight feedings. i'm assuming i won't be able to flick on the tv and catch up on my seconds from disaster, the sopranos and the daily show at 3am. unless i intend on waking up calvin ... and getting my future daughter addicted to raunchy and/or macabre tv shows.

i'll try it out and see how it goes.

less than five weeks 'til stork arrives!

i think it's safe to say

... it appears we're going to be dads soon!

We got a call last week (before we even had a chance to advertise) through our attorney. We met her, the birthmom. It was wonderful - as if we'd already known her. Great connection. She's due in a few weeks!!

Not sure if I'll have much time to write now ... but please keep fingers crossed.

so far ...

things are looking good. "So far, so good" is my new mantra.

e.e.

i carry your heart with me (i carry it in my heart) i am never without it (anywhere i go
you go, my dear; and whatever is done by only me is your doing, my darling) i fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) i want no world (for beautiful
you are my world, my true) and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant and
whatever a sun will always sing
is you
here is the deepest secret nobody knows (here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows higher
than soul can hope or mind can hide) and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart
i carry your heart (i carry it in my heart)
