Maybe cancel those Turkey Day plans?

On the Tuesday before Thanksgiving, we received another phone call that the birth mother who we were being presented to could go into labor at any time and we should probably stick around town in case she did go into labor and in case she did in fact choose us. We tried hard not to get our hopes up...but spent most of Thanksgiving and the rest of the weekend waiting anxiously by the phone. I did convince David to get a carseat and an emergency diaper bag with a few unisex outfits just in case (even though we knew this particular baby was a girl, we figured we could use those clothes later if this baby wasn't meant for us).
