Family of Five

In April, we decided to officially start the process to add to our family.  After discussing the possibility for a length of time, we called the adoption agency in April and began the application process.  We found out earlier this month we had been chosen by a birth mother who was due in September.

After an ultrasound, the baby did not cooperate and the doctor was unable to determine the sex.  The doctor did however recalculate her due date and moved it to August 26th. At this point, she is now 36 weeks pregnant and after another ultrasound yesterday we found out the baby is a girl.

Now we wait until the baby is born and 48 hours later we will be able to hold her and bring her to our home.  Of course, the birth mother has the option to change her mind until that time has passed.  So we wait, hope and pray.

Although there are no guarantees, I have been dying to purchase baby items.  Now that we know the gender, I have purchased a few items and held on to the receipts...just in case.  We have also chosen a name, but we will not reveal and selected nursery decor.  Preparing for baby is so exciting.

We will continue to keep you posted.
