We're home!!

After all the waiting we are finally home and the drama is over!  I'll tell you how the last few days all played out in this post.
       We showed up bright and early Monday morning August 6th, 2012 to labor and delivery at shand's hospital.  We waited around and they took Angela (the birthmom) back around noon.  I was able to go into the c-section which was such a blessing!  Liam Gabriel was born at 12:29pm weighing 6lbs 10oz, 18 inches long, and healthy!  When I heard his first cry it was very emotional.  Everyone in the OR was super sweet and they even let me cut the cord!  For the first night we were able to have our own room with him, but the second day around 8 am they needed the room so we were in with the birthmother.  The rooms were double rooms so it wasn't like we were right on top of one another. She had also said she wanted me to take care of him so it was never awkward.  I kept asking if she wanted to hold him and she did a few times.  Her older son and daughter both came to see Liam and her daughter stayed the night, holding him every second she could.  The two days were filled with anxiety and the fact that we just wanted it to be finalized and be home.   The day she signed the papers we had to leave the room for about 3 hours.  It was killing us to be away from him and not know how everything was going.  Finally the agency called us and told us she had signed everything and he was ours to take home!  We were so happy.  Once we got back to the room the discharge was  not how we planned but it was for the best.  She was emotional so they had us go into the nursery to finish up discharge.  We felt weird leaving without saying goodbye but the agency handled that and gave her the gift we had gotten her.  She texted me later that night and I was relieved we were still on as good of terms as you can be in this situation.  The ride home was very surreal and we are so happy to be home!  Liam is amazing and we love him so much.  God has blessed us beyond what we ever expected and made this a very low drama, low emotional strain adoption. We hope you all know how much we appreciate your thoughts, prayers, and support during this adoption.
