I got a call from our caseworker yesterday which freaked me out because it was a Monday and either she or her supervisor have been calling us on Fridays to give us updates before the weekend. So my heart started beating a million miles a minute because when I answer she says "We've got some great news!" Then the idea ran through my head that our birth mom went to the Dr and found out the gender so then my palms started sweating and I was completely nervous because I have come to the conclusion that it's best that I don't know until she/he is born. So she puts Kevin (supervisor- you'll get to know these characters if I continue blogging about them enough) on the phone and he told me that our birth mom came into the agency and was asking him if we were still interested in adopting her baby. (she must be nuts because we're freakin ecstatic) He tells her we're very interested and he asks her if she wants to see us at the hospital when she delivers. She thinks about it and tells him that she would like to see us at the hospital and then she tells Kevin that she thought we sounded like fun people and thinks we should all meet before the baby is born!!!!! I'm dying because I don't want to say the wrong thing, I don't really know what to say at all and if you know me- you know that I'm the Queen at putting my foot in my mouth when I talk to people anyways! So Kevin is arranging our trip to Wyoming to meet with her. Yikes! I may have a heart attack before this is all over with.
