Matched!

I received a call from our SW today telling us that we've been matched! Emom is due with a little boy in about 3 weeks!

We just happened to call our SW on Monday to determine if our portfolio has been out lately and she mentioned we were one of 3 couples being reviewed by an emom and she would make her decision today. I didn't have much hope because she preferred a SAHM, which I will not be. However, she picked us anyway! We have a match meeting with her on Wednesday. I couldn't wait to call my husband to tell him he may have a son in a few weeks!

Please keep you fingers crossed that everything works out!
