We have arrived in Las Vegas and we had lunch with Lisa and her mom yesterday. She seems to be a very outgoing girl. They are both very nice and friendly. I can tell that Lisa loves her child and wants him to have a good life which she is not in the position to provide right now. I am finding adoption to be more amazing every day. God knows what he is doing. Already I can tell that I could not love this child more if I were giving birth to him. I know the day he is born will be filled with all different emotions including sadness for Lisa.
I got some really good information about her yesterday -favorite colors, things she enjoyed as a child, hobbies, favorite foods, etc.. for the Lifebook I will be creating for Aidan.
Lisa now thinks that she will not be going into labor anytime soon, so we might be here awhile. I can tell you that I am filled with anticipation, nervousness, and excitement. We went to see Harry Potter last night and the only thing I could think about was " I want Aidan to be here!"
Today I will find things to keep myself busy. We bought some more baby gear - warmer blankets and more long sleepers ( you are right Suzanne this hotel is very cold!) I am going to see if I can find a Laundrymat somewhere near by so I can make sure it is all clean and snuggly. I will also probably go to the mall ( shopping always keeps my mind occupied). Perhaps Clinton and I will even go out for an exra special dinner tonight! We might as well enjoy Vegas while we are here!

Oh, the anticipation! I was so hoping little Aidan had arrived. Can't wait to see pics, hear (read) everything.
My thoughts are with you, Clinton, Lisa and baby Aidan.
I keep checking to see if Aidan has arrived! I can't wait to hear. I just watched Primetime on ABC about teen mothers giving their babies up for adoption...it chronicled the whole process..I bawled through the whole thing and I am still crying even though it's been over for 15 minutes. Very emotional for all involved. I can only imagine the anticipation that you're feeling right now. But now that I know the love of a child, I know how truly blessed we are.
Enjoy Vegas and enjoy your sleep (if you can)!
PS- They probably have laundry facilities at the hotel?
