Our good friends, Nick and Liz, gave me a cd as a treat last week when I was a wreck. They told me #4 was their favorite. "This Love" is #4 and it's my new favorite, too. And Douglas'. We listen to it full-time in the car and he's learning when to sing "baby" and "sunshine". Check it out. It's about adoption. I totally <heart> this song.

For those who want the details about this week, here they are:
C-section is THIS Wednesday, August 24th at 10:30 am!!!!!
We will go to TX on Tuesday and get Douglas settled in with my parents at their house. Wednesday morning we will go to the hospital at like 9:30 am and just wait until the C-section happens. Anything can change at ANY time at the hospital, but at this point we will hopefully be able to stay in a room with Timon where we will be able to take care of him and bond with him. We go in with very few expectations and just do our best to receive what comes. We will have our clothes in the car and just wait to see what the day brings - if we end up getting to have a room there and be with Timon, we'll settle in once we know that after the birth. I am praying that we will be able to spend a lot of time with Timon, whether we get to stay at the hospital or not.
Nicole can't sign the papers for 48 hours. So, prayers are very appreciated for the time leading up to the birth, the 24th (birthday!!) AND the two days following, especially the 26th when she can sign. If she signs, then we can leave the hospital with Timon!!! At that point we'll stay with my parents for 1-2 weeks until ICPC (Interstate Compact on the Placement of Children) goes through - which is just bureaucratic red tape we have to go through when adopting out of state. You have to wait until the office signs the papers before you can go home, but it's just a waiting game - nothing scary. Then, we come home and start to settle in and wait for the finalization court date 30-40 days later when everything is final, final.
So, if you think of us and are willing, please pray like crazed banshees anytime between now and Friday, Aug. 26th (and later!) - especially Wednesday the 24th- Friday the 26th. Intense times are-a-comin'.
