We had our finalization yesterday!! Went to lunch. Went for a short walk. Then I had to work. Today we went for a walk in the park. Tomorrow I have to work most of the day.
Congratulation on finalization! That is so exciting:).
Friday night has become stay in with pizza and movies night. This Friday's move was Unbroken, which told a good story, but I felt was kind of slow.
The students at my school put on a play yesterday so we went to see that and then we went to meet my brother for drinks.
DH and I had some serious discussions (read argument) last night into this morning (not adoption related), but landed in a place of positive movement forward. We are pretty good communicators so it is rare for us to argue, but when we do I always feel drained afterward (even when I am good with the resolution).
It's hard to get motivated to get the yard work done, but will go out at some point and then we have church group tonight.

HOME STUDY DONE.
My house is clean. And our home study is done. She said we're the perfect parents for our program. We may need to renew our clearances and medical phyicals because the process has taken 8 months, but the meeting and interrogation part is over! /goodweekend
badgergirl66 I always say that our gut instinct should be the largest deciding factor on big decisions. I would like to add a few things if you don't mind.
About prenatal care and premature babies- A's baby sister, J, was born 6 weeks premature. She was only in the hospital 10 days and is incredibly healthy. It doesn't always turn out this way, but preemies aren't always in poor health. Her birthmom had almost no prenatal care as she didn't even know she was pregnant until 24 weeks. Another birthmom I know didn't find out until 23 weeks and also had a healthy baby.
Many women think they don't want contact after birth and end up changing their mind (like J's birthmom and myself until I met D&G). Others want contact and end up disappearing. It's tough but I think there's no way to no what you'll get either way.
Thanks for your thoughts. I always appreciate when you chime in. There is just something about that gut instinct right?
I totally absolutely understand not wanting contact with the situation. She is keeping the pregnancy quiet, and doesn't want family knowing.
I asked a bunch of follow up questions. She didn't know until recently she was pregnant (probably not until 5ish months along) and couldn't find a dr to see her. The agency even mentioned that they called 12 drs in the area and couldn't get in anywhere with her hmo. So she did try to get into the drs.
