How we got here - Part 2

Over the next couple of months, we kept in touch with Christina, our birth mom, and were able to help her with some things in her life. We visited again in April, and got her settled into an apartment. In mid-May, I flew up to Georgia for another visit, planning to stay for a week. She began having some signs of premature labor, so I ended up staying to help her as she was on and off of bed rest and having a lot of difficulty getting around anyway, and didn't have an easy way to get to doctor appointments or even to the grocery store.

Russ came up for a visit near the end of May, when it looked like the babies might make a very early arrival, but things started looking better over the next several days. I stayed to continue to help Christina, and we developed a close friendship along the way.
