Adoption Trip Cont'd
V is done working for an anticipated 39 weeks but they did not take the usual step of revoking her access to the office. The offer was made jokingly for her to bring B to work and keep him by her desk.
They had a baby shower for her as well as a catered lunch. She was very happy when she got home. Two big items were added to B's list of goodies. An all terrain Jeep branded stroller and an automatic diaper pail.
One of my co-workers donated a change table, jolly jumper and for later on a booster seat.
Add in what we know people are buying him for Christmas and there will be little left for us to get him except food, diapers, clothes and love.
Tomorrow is my last day at work. Not much to do I hope. One meeting at 11am and one at 1pm and then I will try to sneak away.
As my brother phrased it in an email to me today 'only two more sleeps until we leave'. I will go one further. Four more sleeps until we meet Brandon and then according to my co-workers we never sleep solidly again for 20 years.
