This-n-that

More updates:
Here's a pic of the 'nursery', although we aren't going bonkers with a full coordinated crib set or matching wall decor. Just a bright green room for now, with light-colored furniture, most of which (other than the crib) we already owned. Can anyone say IKEA?

The birthmother called yesterday after her weekly doctor appointment. They've scheduled a C-section for September 19 and told her to be careful about walking too much (i.e. going into labor early and requiring an emergency C-section). That date works well for us, so we're just hoping it'll stay to a schedule (even if they move the date) so we can make the 6-hour drive to be there for the delivery!

Birthmother is coming down to the Bay Area today for our formal match meeting tomorrow at the adoption agency. We're looking forward to seeing her again and getting a little more acquainted. At the match meeting we'll discuss a few more formal details and all sign our names to the agreement, which makes it all a little more official (but still not legally binding). Then we can probably rest our minds for a few weeks before the action begins.
