Just want to chronicle our journey with waiting for baby! So here goes- I talked with our birth mom last thursday 12/13 and she let me know she was feeling really bad and was going to go to the hospital. Later that night we found out she had the flu- I sent out texts to everyone I could think of to pray for her. The doctor told her that they were going to keep her and induce her since the fever she was running was not good for baby. I booked a flight for friday morning and tried to get a little bit of sleep before heading out. I arrived in Miami at 9:30 on friday morning and went straight to the hospital. The doctor had began giving her Tamiflu and since her fever had come down he didn't want to induce her. She fought back and forth with the doctor trying to get him to induce her but they thought it would be more risky to deliver her with her having the flu. They discharged her on Saturday.
Our God of awesome planning had orchestrated one of my friends Katie to be in Florida at the same time adopting their new little one. They were about 2.5 hours away and were staying in her mom's house- they invited me to come and stay with them so I packed my bags and headed that way. I am SO thankful that I did. It was wonderful to be with friends not stuck in a hotel all by myself!! Katie's mom is an awesome cook- I was spoiled with yummy food and hanging out with them! They were heading out on thursday so I came back to Miami on Wednesday.
I am staying in a hotel- waiting for our birth mom to go into labor. She is feeling much better from the flu but is ready to have the baby. She went to the hospital on thursday night (her due date) and they checked her out. She was not in labor :( They did an ultrasound to check on the baby and everything looked good so they sent her home. We are thankful for the ultrasound and that everything looks good!! The hospital staff told her to come back when she is in labor. So we are waiting for just that!! We know God is in control and has the perfect time for our baby to be born. We are trusting in Him and praising Him for His provision so far.
I am so excited to introduce our new baby to you all soon!!!
