1st Meeting

It's Monday morning March 30, 2009. Last night LD got to meet his son for the first time. And, of course I waited by the phone for the phone call he promised. He said he'd call after the meeting. He said he got there a little after 6pm and left about 9pm. I asked what he thought and he said his son was "cute". He said his hair was darker than in the pictures. We had 3 pictures of him, looked like they were pictures of him when he was in his 1st year, 2nd and 3rd year of his life. But, I think when LD mentioned he was cute he meant the way he acted. He couldn't wait to show LD his room and all his toy's then when that was done he wanted to watch a movie with LD but LD said to him, "....maybe we should put away some of these toy's...." and the baby said "Nope". LD laughed. LD had brought him some Hot Wheels so he was playing with that while LD talked to mommy. LD said the next meeting would be next Saturday. They're going to the park to play baseball, this is what the baby wanted to do he said. Very cute. He also didn't want LD to leave. He asked LD to take him to pre-school tomorrow 'instead of grandma'. So cute!!
Right now he thinks of LD as a friend. He doesn't know he just met his Daddy for the first time.
I'm so happy I'm about to burst!! It's like sitting on my hands, not being able to meet him yet. They were supposed to go out to dinner Sunday night but mommy opted to stay home thinking it would be too much excitement for him. I never thought of that. She is totally right! Good thinking!
LD said that she doesn't have the internet so it may take awhile but she will email me some more pictures of him as soon as she can.
Right now I can only imagine how he is as I wait for the day I can finally meet him. I hope that day comes soon. I can't wait to play with him, bake for him, and hear him talking. I can't wait to meet her either. I can tell her all about 'our roots'. I can't wait to see his baby book and get to know more about him and all of his 'first's'.
I'm so excited!! That's why I'm still up at 5:30am on Monday morning watching a show all about baby's being born. Sem Sono.

The right move

As a very mature act LD has moved into action. He has invited the baby and his Momma to dinner on Sunday to get to know alittle more about them.

I'm a Grandma! Brand new Vovó!!
I found out yesterday March 23, 2009. I didn't find out the conventional way. We've been sitting at the edge of our seats for a couple months but finally got word yesterday that it is finally official. It's a boy.
I can't wait to get to know him. He belongs to LD and he couldn't have asked for a better father. LD has always been great with kids, ever since he was little. I'm so excited but I have to wait for LD to give me the go-ahead on this one. It's all too new still.
We've missed out on so much. All his first's. I hope she's got some record of them to show me. I guess we can go over these at the first meeting and compare. I want to be a part of his life, someone he can count on. This meeting should be soon, maybe a dinner out or something?
I don't know, I just want to meet him.
LD recently just had the rug pulled out from underneath him but life is a blessing. Things are looking up from here.
