Thoughts about a birth mother

Last night I couldn't sleep as I thought about this little baby that may become part of our family. I thought a lot about the birth mother. Is she comfortable with her decision? Does she have second thoughts? Is she taking good care of herself? What do her other children (she has several) think about their baby going to another family? I pray for her and hope she is okay.

I also can't help but wonder about the baby. What will the baby look like? Will he/she like sports? Will he/she like music? Will he/she like me? Will I be able to answer the questions that may follow? Am I really ready to be a mom?

I'm glad we only have a month to think about it. I think any longer than that would be too hard to wait.

Every Mom feels those same feeling of wonder. I couldn't imagine loveing anything as much as I love Cameron. How could I do it twice at one time. But you do. I don't know how you just do. As for what will they like and what will their interests be. All I can say is enjoy the ride. We thought Cameron would be just like us and as you know...HE HAS A MIND OF HIS OWN!!!
