Already heard back

She chose us. Apparently they loved us. After we left, Jenny and her parents stayed to talk to Doreen and Jenny's mom broke down and cried. Doreen said it was the first time she saw a soft side of Jenny's mom. Jenny and her parents said we would be the perfect family to place her son with.
So now the ball is in our court. Our heads are spinning - we have a lot to think about. We have until Monday to make our decision. Some of you might be saying to yourselves, "Why wouldn't you say yes? I don't get it." The answer to that is that Sean and I think everything through and like to consider every possible scenario and situation. We are the king and queen of "what if." In this situation, we need to go through all the "what if's." Mary said we have the luxury of being discriminating because this won't be the only birthmother that wants us - someone else will swoop us up. (A really nice compliment right?) So with that in mind, we will be very careful with our decision. Trust me, we are on cloud nine right now that she chose us and the mere fact that we can bring a baby home in two weeks or less. Again, our heads are spinning. This is all happening very fast.
I'm going to go back downstairs now and get a third cup of coffee, put a second coat of primer on the office, finish cleaning Lucy's fur out of the tub from her bath this morning, and just breathe. And not to mention, on top of it all, I got a very nice email back from a job I was going after a few weeks ago basically saying the ball is in my court - if I want this job, I have it. I can only laugh at this because we put ourselves in these situations - it's just funny that it piles on all at the same time.
Thanks again for the messages and support. This is what will help us get through this weekend and making these important decisions. My mom and dad always told me that life is not easy and I should never expect it to be. They couldn't be more right.
