We're ready...

We finished the baby's room last night. Following the theme of how God spoke to us about adopting this boy, Erin's decorated his room in Dr. Suess characters. I didn't think we'd be able to finish his room before we went to the hospital but we've had a lot of friends helping us out. Thank you!

Right now, life is good for our little boy. He's safe, warm, well fed, not a care in the world. In just a few hours, he's going to be violently pushed through an opening so small it will turn his well-rounded head into a cone-shape. When he's crying about it might be the first time I use a line I'll use a lot during his life, "sometimes life just sucks." Poor little dude, he has no idea what he's about to go through...

Erin and I are going into the hospital late this evening. Our little boy should be born sometime Thursday morning. We'll officially sign the papers sometime on Friday. This is going to be a beautiful and painful experience, all wrapped into one. Pray for us, our baby, our birthmom and her family.
