Tonight we had the chance to talk to the birth mother of our baby!!
This was the first time we've had any contact with her, so needless to say, it was an awesome experience. For the past week, we've been incredibly nervous. What should we say? What will she sound like? Will she like us?
The adoption agency had us all on a three-way call. I gave quite a few nervous laughs in the beginning. (My friends, or anyone I've just met, will know exactly what I'm referring to!) But, she was very friendly and easy-going so it really put us at ease.
She is just so sweet. We connected over our love for dogs and crazy weather. She even said that her family wants to have dinner with us the night we get into town!
That phone call was exactly what we needed to get us through these next couple of weeks. We can't wait to meet her and our little guy!!

Salsa Fundraiser Update
In December, our friends Shelley and Chris *surprised* us by organizing a fundraiser for our adoption fund!
We wanted to thank all of our friends (and their friends!) who purchased salsa last month. The total sales in salsa brought in $530. Wowsers! Thank you for supporting us by helping to bring our baby home!
Shelley and Chris adopted their adorable
daughter Olivia in August.
And a VERY special thank-you goes to Chris and Shelley for doing such an awesome thing for us! They worked their tails off making over 50 jars of their homemade salsa to sell... and for that, we are so grateful!
