count down begins

so i just sat here for about 20min describin life the last hour or so....then the stupid hospital wifi knocked me off. i'm not gonna try to recreate what i was workin on, so forgive the brevity...

we had riley for about an hour. the birth-aunt and her husband came in and said goodbye. a while later, the birthgrandmother came back in cryin..."this is gettin harder." i teared up, too. not b/c i'm nervous or afraid, i don't think....i really don't think the birthmother will change her mind. this is just a scarey place to be.

like i was sayin earlier....all the necessary folks will gather about 1:30. the birthmother will start signin her papers about 1:45. every deal she signs has to be witnessed (by an uninvolved third party) and notarized. so it could take a while. after that, the nurse will come give us the discharge instructions, and we'll take riley layne home w/us.

so we're gettin close. we knew this part of it was comin. it had to come. the hardest part...or at least one of the top 3 hardest parts of this whole deal. so we're hunkerin down (as jim bob carver would say)....
