We got to meet with our birth mom for a while and get to know her. She is an amazing wonderful sweet lady! She seems very sure of her decision to make an adoption plan. We love her already! We also got to meet the baby who is SO CUTE! He was born at 815 last night, weighing in at 6lbs 3oz and 18 1/2 inches long. And the name......
Ji'Robert Tyler (will be Pittman). It was very important for the birthmom to name him and she was ok with us adding a name. It was a big honor that she even put the name we picked on the birthcertificate. We will call him Tyler which has special meaning for us. Jared had a little brother who died a few days after birth so we are honoring him and using his name for our little boy. When we go to court we do have the opportunity to change the names but don't think we will and will forsure keep Ji'Robert in his name since it is important to his birthmom and an important part of his history.
So the runner up names, in case any of you were wondering: Bryton, Jesse, Aaron, Mason, Avery. We thought we would wait to make sure he looked like a Tyler prior to going to the back up names!
The birth mom will most likely sign in the next day or two and the baby will be dismissed from the hospital on Monday into our custody. The birthmom will probably be dismissed Monday or Tuesday.
Once she signs her papers we will post pictures. But for now.... Here we are at the pier on the bay and at a good seafood restaurant (I ate chicken!).
