13 Hours and Counting

To those of you who have been faithfully following this, I apologize for not posting anything sooner. Today has been an exhausting, crazy day and I just didn't have the brain energy to post anything! Hopefully, what I do post will make at least a bit of sense.:-) The birth mom ran into some problems today with a headache, so she was not discharged as was scheduled. At this point, it looks like she will be spending the night again. For numerous reasons, this has been frustrating. More than anything, I am frustrated that we have had so little time with the baby. For all of the hours that we have been here, we have held him for a total of ~45 minutes. I, of course, understand the birth mother's want to be with him as much as possible. But, it has been very difficult to be in the room for hours on end without having the opportunity to hold and take care of him. Ultimately, I know that all of these delays have happened for a reason and I am still doing my best to trust God. As the title suggested, we are down to about 13 more hours of waiting and then we will FINALLY know if we are parents or not. Honestly, I truly hope this situation works out b/c I am almost positive that I can't handle another 72 hours like this! Please continue to hold the birth mom and her baby in your prayers. I will let you all know the final decision as soon as I can after 9 am tomorrow morning!
