OP DawnL extra helpful experienced member Joined: Sep 2002 Posts: 272	I just wanted to share with everyone that we are officially matched with a birthmother who is due Oct 2nd with a baby girl!! We are excited, and hoping we can be patient until then. I have already moved the crib into Daphne's room, and I need to buy a crib mattress. The one Daphne used is on her toddler bed. Then I need to start going through Daphne's old baby clothes, and get them set situated in the dresser. Also clean up the playroom, get out the infant car seat, etc. Yikes! There is so much to do! wife to Jim, mommy to Daphne and Jeran and Jalen

What wonderful news!! <img src="http://www.asklenore.com/ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif" alt="" /> I hope that in the next few weeks I'll be able to post the same wonderful news! Our profile is being looked at by a BM that is due in August!! Yikes! We are praying that this is the one! - but I feel the pressure of getting the house and nursery ready - just in case! <img src="http://www.asklenore.com/ubbthreads/images/icons/confused.gif" alt="" /> BTW - I'm on day 91 of the regular protocol - if we do end up matching with the BM due in August - when do I stop the protocol and start pumping?

Anonymous Unregistered A	Dawn, I am so happy for you,,,a sister for your girl will be so nice,, And a full milk supply! Just do a little bit each day as far as getting the nursery ready etc...we found a great crib mattress at Babies R Us, it was around $100 dollars, has lots of coils etc..definately top of the line. Our attorney is filing an appeal in Guatemala, we should know in about 3 weeks if we can adopt Ana or not. In the meantime, we are thinking about going for just a week to at least see her, take photo's and bring the special orthodonic nipples for the foster mom. I am so happy for you,,,take care, Cathy
