I got our "scrapbook" all done this weekend. The hospital wants to see who we are, where we live, who our family is etc. Lots of photos we were told.

It goes in the mail today.

I have told my office but DH doesn't wanna tell anyone. He is afraid it won't happen for months. I think it could happen any day. We don't have ANYTHING and I think we need a few essentials (Pack and play, infant carrier, etc). DH wants to wait until we get the call, but we will have to go to CA ASAP when we get the call, no time to buy stuff (esp since everything is at least 1.5 hours from us!).

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

We aren't going throuh and adoption agency, it will be a baby that is abandoned at a hospital.

Homevisits will come later.

Any idea what type of papers we'd need to take with us? Medical records? etc? I think we need a bag packed, just like waiting to go into labor...

I'm trying to take one day at a time, but my mind likes to think and plan ahead! :P

thanks again for all your support! It's much appreciated!

Love and hugs,
Julie
