Less than a week

Little Caleb's due date is in 5 days. 5 DAYS!!!

We are ready, bags packed, house clean, work things pretty much sorted out. We are ready in every sense of the word, except we're probably not really ready. Can you ever be 100% ready? We have no idea how things are going to play out once we get the phone call. We don't know if he'll already be born or if his birthmother will just be going into labor. We aren't sure if we'll meet his birthmother and her family or just be working with the social worker. We don't know if we'll spend two nights in the hotel, or two weeks in the hotel. So MANY unknowns! If this process has taught us anything it is that we are not in control and that we just have to roll with the punches. It was a hard lesson to learn, but we've become pretty good at it. Who am I kidding, Scott has always been good at it, I'm still working on it, but we balance each other out, right?

The dreams have started coming. Almost every night for the past week I have waken up from the strangest dreams. They include RoboCop, a little girl named Anna, and most recently getting a text message from Scott that Caleb had been born. That one felt the most real. I woke up not sure if it was a dream or not, my heart racing. I shot out of bed to find Scott sound asleep at 2:30 in the morning.

This week is going to go on forever I'm sure, but we'll just try to stay busy and keep our minds off the "unknown" and think about how we'll "roll with the punches"!

Hope to post again within the next week with news of our new little boy!
