Tonight's the Night

...and it's gonna be alright. Sean and I made up our list of questions and concerns last night. And we made a pro and con list. As of now, the pros and cons are equal. We plan to make a new list of pros and cons tonight over dinner after we meet her and her family. Another thing we thought of is that her parents could be our age which should be very interesting. How is it they are becoming grandparents when we are challenged to be parents?
Mary called last night to tell me she is coming with us. Thank goodness! She had me worried when she said it was too late for her. We need her there to field some of the questions, especially about the openness.
We also broke the news to Lucy last night. She's hoping this doesn't work out.
I did take the day off from work so I can get some things done. It's going to be a tough weekend to get through wondering how the meeting went and what they are thinking. Apparently the other adoptive couple is nervous too. I just wish I knew when they were meeting her. Mary doesn't ask the important questions and it's starting to make us crazy.
Sean said Jenny might tell us the gender of the baby tonight. I didn't even think of that. I almost don't want to know because then I will start picturing things in my head and I cannot do that yet. I hope she doesn't tell us. I might have to hold my ears if she brings it up.
Some other great news...our office is finished. We are sanding, painting and probably hiring someone to tile the floor this weekend. And the baby furniture is in! We might pick that up tomorrow. Things are changing so much and so fast but it's all good. It's very exciting.
Love,
Des, Sean
and Lucy...who is working on her acceptance of becoming a big sister.
