The First Doctors Appointment with A

So since the agency couldn't get the dates right on Dr. visits We decided to exchange email so I could tell the the times I would be seen so they could have time to plan to come if they could make it. The first visit only A was able to make it because E had to work but it was a nice to have one of them there. I had a few questions to ask and than I gave A a chance to ask anything she may have been wondering. It was time to hear the heart beat and let me tell you even though I had heard it before it was amazing to see the joy it brought to A as she listened. That was the first time that she heard her soon to be child's heart beat. Now if only the Dr. could have let her listen longer. Before we knew it the Dr. visit was done.

But than we went to dinner to talk about the visit and just to chat. I gave her some baby stuff some of which my older son had used when he was a baby. You may be wondering what is so great about that well it was great to see that she wasn't afraid or to good to use hand me downs. I know there are moms out there like that and it made me happy knowing she wasn't one of them. At the end of the visit we said good bye and each went out own way until we would have another chance to visit.

I see something VERY loving about what you did in giving the prospective adoptive mother some of your other sons hand me downs...It showed your love for your new baby and the soon to be family. And you know what? I did the very same thing with Bidgie and her family. I sent some of Squirt's old book, videos and other things... The things that meant alot to me as a mother...I gave to them for my other daughter that they would be raising... That was a beautiful thing that you did. I'm sure your son's mother cherishes everything that you've given...
