Things to figure out

I started to panic the other day about Stephanie going into labor. Being on this side of things can make you really anxious. Obviously if I was pregnant I would know when my body was going into labor and be able to prepare, but not being the one that goes into labor and needing to be "on call" made me so nervous. My smart phone is also the phone I use for work and I can receive emails at all hours of the night because for big projects I work with offshore. So I tend to silence my phone as to not have it go off every couple minutes. I suddenly realized I need to figure out how to allow Stephanie's number to dial through even if the phone is on silent. What if she goes into labor in the middle of the night?! What if I didn't have my phone on and we missed it?! All things I didn't think about until this week. I need to have someone ready to come to the house to stay with Eliza if this happens in the middle of the night. There is so much I need to figure out!

1) make sure I can get calls from Stephanie at all hours

2) I need someone on call for Eliza

3) book tour of the hospital

4) confirm the hospital knows we need two rooms

We made some updates to the nursery. Eliza has been spending alot of time in here.

By The State of Connecticut - It's Official We Are the Parents

On Wednesday we went to court. It's a formality and necessary part of the process, but we went to court so the State of Connecticut will recognize Carmelo and I as the parents of the baby. We had to accept all rights to the child and Stephanie and Eric had to waive all rights. The judge granted us to be the intended parents and we can officially have our names on the Birth Certificate. Seems funny to have to go to court to get our names on the Birth Certificate and when I told people that we had to go to court. Their first question was "Did Stephanie change her mind?"  - NO absolutely not. But it's people's first reaction that you only go to court for bad stuff. But as we learned, you can go to court for good stuff too!
