Bored to DEATH in Wyoming.

Hey everyone! Our internet hasn't worked since we've been here in Wyoming so I don't know how long it will stay but I have been thinking about which pediatrician I want to go with and can't decide. Since most of you out there have kids I want to know who you recommend or don't recommend. Please leave a comment with who you suggest as I guess I really need to choose soon. We haven't heard anything from our birth mom since yesterday so I guess we're still inducing tomorrow morning at 6 am. I will post something as soon as I can. Cross your fingers she's healthy, I'm freaking out. Thanks everybody for all your prayers and concerns!!!! Karli baby (as my 3 yr. old nephew calls her)will be here tomorrow.

Just killin time at Wal-Mart...

Hey Y'all... it's Shana's sister here. She asked me to do a quick update for all you blogger friends. They didn't have internet access at the hotel they stayed at last night but she should tonight. They finally got a call last night that their Birth Mom had checked in to the hospital so they grabbed their bags and headed over there. When they got there the hospital was sending her home and luckily they ran in to her in the parking lot. She had a DR appt this morning and they said the baby hadn't done anything so if she didn't have it by Thursday they would induce. So Shana and Jason already have work off and know that if they turn around and come back that they will probably get the call, so they are just going to hang out and wait. I asked her what they were going to do and Shana said "well they have a Wal-Mart"... So they were going to kill some time at Wal-Mart and maybe go to a movie or something. Leave them a comment if you want... At least they can read those tonight if they are still sitting around!

It's about time!

I finally have a blog worthy update! I know you all are probably wondering what the heck is going on, well me too. We hadn't really heard any news or updates on how our birth mom was for the last couple weeks until tonight. Kevin called and said he had talked to her and she had gone to the hospital last night because of having a lot of contractions (which ended up being braxton hicks) and really bad back pain. The Dr checked her out, said she wasn't dilated but for some other reason said it looks like she will most likely deliver in the next two days. She has a Dr appt on Tues so her Dr said IF she hasn't delivered by then he will induce her on Weds!!!!!! She also told Kevin to tell us that she's really excited for us. How sweet is she!!! Also our birth dad called in to the agency to tell Kevin that he is going to send us some pictures. I'm excited for that because when we met both of them he seemed way too nervous for us to take pictures so I don't have any to show Karli what her birth dad looks like but we did take some of our birth mom. I can't wait!!! The anticipation is killing me! So moral of the story is: NO LATER than Wednesday we will be parents! YIKES!!

Update

This update isn't very exciting but we found out that our birth mom will for sure be delivering in Wyoming. :( I'm so bummed about that but her mom really doesn't want her delivering while she's in jail so our birth mom decided not to "voluntarily book" herself. I'm literally sleeping with my phone just waiting for the call. They have changed her due date to the 28th but her first 2 babies came 2 weeks early so she has carried this baby longer than her others. Technically we have 11 days until she's 40 weeks. I'm dying, I thought she would have been here by now.Maybe this weekend.?????????

Ok, Ok drum roll please..............................

So I know I told all of you that I would finally reveal the name sometime this weekend so here goes. If you don't like it then just pretend you do because this is just how it is. :) I wanted to finish my wood letters of her name for this post- who would have thought it was going to be 11pm on Sunday night though. :(

Adoption Update!

Kevin called us tonight as we were leaving the house and so of course the first thing I thought was that our birth mom was in labor. Then my heart stopped beating because I've been putting being prepared off forever. Needless to say, she wasn't. But he did tell us that this last week she's had pretty steady contractions so she went in to see the Dr and he said she was fine and that he would see her back next week for her appt. We're making serious progress now- sounds like she's seeing her Dr regularly YAY!!! Anyway, Kevin said that when he talked to her she was still solid with her plans of placing and also added that she goes to court on Monday and will find out what state she will deliver in. If she goes to jail now= Utah. If they wait to book her until after delivery=Wyoming. And sorry folks we don't know what kind of crime she committed. (I've had a lot of people ask.) All that matters is that she's a sweet soul that is making a brilliant choice to place her baby. Cross your fingers that she delivers in Utah, I REALLY don't want to stay in Wyoming in a hotel for a couple weeks. Good thing for the credit card I guess. :(
My goal this weekend is to wash her clothes, pack her bag, pack our bag and put her car seat in the car so we're ready for the big day! Oh- by the way, I think I've held you all in suspense long enough, I think I will post her name sometime this weekend(before my husband tells everyone. He's a pushover and can't keep a secret-love ya babe). I have to say to all the sweet gals in my ward that check my blog for updates, I honestly from the bottom of my heart really really appreciate all of your sincere excitement and joy for us. I had no idea so many people cared. Thanks.

What's your poo telling you? Read at your own risk

The other weekend Jason and I were in Vegas and I had to stop in at one of my favorite stores (Urban Outfitters) that we had in Portland and found this treasure! I'm not really sure how but every conversation that I have sooner or later turns in to a poo conversation so this book fits me to a tee. It kind of drives Jason crazy because if anyone is ever feeling yucky no matter if it's a headache, bellyache, etc I always recommend taking a poo. He just rolls his eyes and tells me that taking a poo doesn't help everything. In fact it was kind of funny because while we were out shopping I didn't have my credit card so I tried to hand the book to Jason to buy for me and he just looked at me with the most disgusted face and said "how are you going to buy that without any $?" I gladly told him that he would be buying it for me since I didn't bring my wallet. After about 10 minutes of begging him he finally gave in but the poor guy had a red face the entire time at the register. Let's just say this book has been a hit every where I take it. Maybe when it's my turn to host the book club this will be my choice. Ha Ha
If you're interested in the book I noticed that Barnes and Noble also sells it- here's a link http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Whats-Your-Poo-Telling-You/Josh-Richman/e/9780811857826/?itm=1
