The last 24 hours seem like a dream. I was at work when the agency called and said they had a "drop in" that delivered a 6 lb 9 ounce 18 inch long little boy. Emphasis on little. We got to meet the birth mom and she was really sweet and focused on making sure the baby got bonding time with us. We were able to get a room in the hospital and able to keep the baby with us throughout the night. The birth mom asked us for the name we are going to give him and wanted to put that on the birth certificate. His name is Jayce Efren A. Now we are at home and still in disbelief. Well, and really tired. Between my husband snoring and Jayce waking up every few hours I believe I got 3 hours of sleep. I am now feeling a second wind that I hope allows me to get his room more situated and some bottles sterilized.
2 years TTC with 5 losses, 1 year recovering, 6 months applying for adoption approval, and almost a year waiting for a placement. Then, a miracle BFP at age 36!
WOW crazy is right...how wonderful for all of you. I remember the no sleep days..its gets better and you can take a deep breath soon. Congrats to all of you!
That's great! We were matched like this too (although after the call we had to drive 12 hours to get Ben and stay 10 days in a hotel). The sleep will get better, I promise. Enjoy your time with your new little one, mommy!

"And can it be that in a world so full and busy, the loss of one weak creature makes a void in any heart, so wide and deep that nothing but the width and depth of vast eternity can fill it up." - Charles Dickens
That sounds like the best kind of crazy 24 hours ever. : )

DX: Severe MFI (very low motility) in 2006. 2 IVF's and 1 FET ended in 3 losses. Adopted our baby girl born 10/2/10. FET March 2012= c/p. Officially done with fertIlity treatments. Plan to start adoption process again 2014/2015.
Thank you all so much for the well wishes. The funny thing is just last week I was really feeling down and like I was never going to be a mom. So all you waiting for a match it truly can and will happen.
How very exciting! I think it's always so thrilling to hear these stories about how things happened so quickly and everything falls into place! Enjoy every moment:)
Re: Crazy 24 hours....
Oh, that is just wonderful! Congratulations on your new baby boy. The sleep will get better in time, too.
It's funny, I was exactly the same size at birth- 6lbs 9 oz, 18 inches. I think it is a perfect size for a baby!
TTC since May 2006. After 3 failed Clomid cycles, 2 failed Injectibles/IUIs, 2 failed IVFs and 1 failed FET, we moved on to adoption!
Last ditch FET resulted in BFP, and identical twin girls!
