This is what's Goin' Down!!

Yesterday (Wed), we got a call at 4:30pm. Baby boy, 8 mos old, in hospital with broken arm, placement length 6 months, maybe longer maybe shorter. Reunifying with parents, parents aren't speaking, dad broke his arm they think. Would we be interested? YES! We will take him! That was my reply. Problem: My husband left this morning at 5am for a business trip. We have no crib, car seat or anything baby. I can't put a crib together!! So last night at 7pm we split up and bought a crib, changing table (my husband surprised me on that one), car seat, and high chair. I would've bought so much more, but I was restraining myself just in case we don't get him. We needed this stuff anyway, right? LOL! My husband and sons spent last night putting together a crib and changing table, bless their hearts! He was up at 4:30 am this morning to get ready to catch his plane and he made coffee for me on his way out. I ALWAYS make the coffee!!! So that little thoughtfulness was much appreciated by me at 5am this morning!!! So what is goin' down today? I'm waiting for the call from the baby's social worker, then she will tell when he is coming and if I need to pick him up from the hospital or if they are bringing him to me. I asked my agency if we for sure had him, and she 'Yes, I would say so". I am not convinced.
