Our son is such a cutie pie!!!! Oh my, look out class of 2025 cause he is going to be a heart breaker!!!! He has a ton of brown/black hair and has the biggest eyes, there are kind of grey brown. And he has the cutest smile ever, it is so big and he will definitely be a full smile kind of kid, showin' all gums or teeth depending on the age!
We were only there for an hour and we both got to hold him for 30 minutes each. He had just finished his bottle when we got there so he was kind of in the nap mode but every once in awhile woke up to check us out. He is also going to be a talker, he kept making jabbering noises even while asleep. The birth mom was there and both her and the foster mom were trying to provide as much info on him as possible, of course when I was holding him I was having a hard time listening to them as I was in such awe of him.
We hope to visit him again this week since both the birth mom and foster mom said it was okay. We will call tomorrow and see if Wednesday works out.
We did not take any pictures, just didn't feel right, we will wait until later this week or at placement. I felt somewhat awkward and feel bad for the birth mom, it's like I'm taking her baby away from her. Not sure if that makes any sense, I guess unless you've been in this situation it may be hard to understand what I'm feeling.
Anyway, I hope this next week goes by fast and that we are able to take placement this weekend!

Congratulations, Linda and Dan!!! OMG!!! I could not wait to read what was going on after your posting last week. What a completely amazing and wonderful life you are embarking on. That little baby boy is most fortunate to have the two of you in his life. Best wishes to all three of you and the birth mom too. Love, Stella
Terrific News! I am anxiously waiting for the day for you to have in your arms permanently. I look forward to babysitting for the first time some day and all the "fun" that goes with that!
Love, Ron
I am so happy for your family!!
Congratulations! (Lurking here from FF.) I hope everything goes fine! I wanted to say that our daughter who was born on May 27th still has the quivering chin and won't always make eye contact... just in case there were any remaining worries about that...
Dan and Linda - congrats - that is wonderful news. I can't wait to meet the little guy. And Matthew is looking forward to having another friend to play with...
