congratulations, is it awkward being with the birth mom or do yuo two get along well.

Great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I bet is is also cool developing a friendship with your birthmom, huh? It is a wonderful bond between the two moms.

Got any ideas of names? We chose Matthew for our DS because it meant "Gift from God".

Pop- Well, it is interesting. We were only matched with her last Tuesday .... So, a week ago tonite, we had no idea we would have a match so soon! Today was the 2nd time we met her! It seems to be going quite well. She & I seem to get along pretty well.

AZKathy- Yes! I am trying to jot down some things I remember about our conversations, incase the baby has questions when he is older!

To be honest, we are still kinda in shock! I don't think it has sunk in yet.

Since it is so open right now, how open it the relationship going to be after he is born?

We have full open relationships with DDs' (Meg, 9 and Mandy 6 are half sisters) birthmom and we see each other around once a year for a picnic. We send cards and phone each other periodically. Very comfortable relationship with her and her family. In fact, her mom and sister came to FIL's memorial service this past March! Very touching and it showed how much we all care for each other. The girls' birthmom had to work and could not get off for the memorial service.

DS's birthmom lives in Idaho, so we have only met once. It was a grand meeting and now, we communicate via letters/email and she sends him birthday presents and Christmas presents. If she lived closer, I know we would probably meet together like we do with the girls' birthmom.

You will really enjoy a continuing relationship after birth, believe me. You may feel weird at first, but it is important that you maintain some kind of communication to show your birthmom she made a good choice in placing him with you and reinforces to her that he is loved and happy.

Right now, you are focused on pre-birth relationship, but I just want to assure you that it is great to maintain a comfortable relationship afterwards, also. PM me if you have any questions.

Aren't ultrasounds the coolest things? I know when we had ours, James did amazing things during BOTH sessions. The first time, he was laying sideways and 'jumped' (for lack of a better word) up and turned around to face us, so we have a full-on frontal shot from the first one. Second time around, he yawned and sucked his thumb during the session which we also have pictures of.

I am so glad you matched early and have a boy on the way. Now I have somebody else to talk about infant boy stuff with!
