We spoke with Laurie today. She helped us think about how to handle the call with e-mom tomorrow. I started with saying that during the call with e-mom I really wanted to just be myself, but I don't want to say the wrong thing. Laurie reassured me that she thought we would have a great call if we were just ourselves and open and honest. Whew! That is what I needed to hear. I am an over-sharer in general but I can't imagine trying to hold back when I am talking to the woman who wants us to parent the baby she is carrying.
She reassured us that it is OK to be excited, but we should also acknowledge that we understand how hard this time is for e-mom. I can totally handle that. I haven't really known how to manage my excitement at the possibility of having a new baby boy to cherish and love. I also asked Laurie if it would be OK if I cried on the phone, because I'm also a crier. She assured me that it would be OK and show that I'm real. Well, good. I'm a real over-sharing crier. This should work out great!

Missed Calls
I've never been one to keep my phone right next to me. In fact, the phone is set to vibrate more often then not. While I do now keep my phone on my desk most of the time, I can't always answer it even if I want to. So, I miss calls. Typically it's no big deal. My friends and family know me well enough to know that I will call back when I can. I just don't want to miss THE call. You know the one. ;)
Since May 24, I have received three calls from a number that I don't recognize. I googled it and it is the area code is for the entire state of Montana. I don't know anyone in Montana except a couple chiropractors who wouldn't be calling my cell phone anyway. I answered the first of the calls and there was no one on the other end of the line. The other two calls were at times that I didn't/couldn't answer.
So, now my curiosity is killing me. I know I'm over-thinking this, but I keep wondering if I should call the number. I don't know who I really think it could be. Well, that's a lie. I've concocted this crazy idea in my head that some expectant mother in Montana tracked down my cell phone number (I'm sure it's easier than I'd like to think) and calls and listens to my voicemail message to see if my voice sounds kind enough to raise her child. Then she hangs up, because what can you really say on a voicemail in that situation?
So, should I call the number back? Is it weird to have three calls from the same unrecognizable number? Am I over-analyzing this in an effort to avoid thinking about other things?
