It was much like a blind date. . .

This morning, we met with Jodi, the birthmother to our son. As you can imagine, we had quite a few butterflies on the ride over to Christian Family Services (CFS).

Once we arrived, they brought Jodi in and we got to ask all sorts of questions. She asked a lot about us too. It was really nice to find out about her, how the pregnancy is going and what her expectations are of us. It sounds like we're all on the same page after a conversation filled with some laughter and tears. At the end of the meeting Jodi allowed Kim to feel her belly in hopes the little guy would be active. He wasn't, but she reports it feels like popcorn and he's very active on a regular basis.

We're going to meet with her and the baby's birthfather next week over dinner. We're looking forward to meeting him and answering any questions he has about us. Jodi also mentioned she would like to share sonogram photos with us and we're hoping to have them for you on our next transmission.

Tomorrow, Kim will be heading up to Iowa for what will most likely be her last trip to see her parents before becoming a mom.

In addition, we found out from our friends Steve and Julie that God has blessed them with an unexpected appointment with the Mayo clinic this Thursday. We hope they finally get some answers for Justine's condition and a positive future prognosis.

So, things continue to be exciting.

More soon.
