Your birth mom sent over more sonogram pictures of you! You look amazing! Your dad got to see the "It's a Boy!" shot so he was happy! I met a future buddy of yours today! His parents were in our adoption group! Everyone from our group has had or adopted a boy! That will make for some fun get togethers soon!

Bought your first Yankees outfit today! Your dad was SO happy about that purchase! I am not sure how much of a choice you will have on which baseball team you will like, but with the Buffalo Bills and the Buffalo Sabres playing so badly, we may open football and hockey up to you!

Today is Thanksgiving and we have SO much to be thankful for this year!
A lot has happened since I last checked in! On November 5, I met your birth parents in Indiana so I could view your sonogram. It was an opportunity of a lifetime! We found out that day that you are a BOY! You are also healthy and growing right on track! It was a great day!
On Thursday November 11, however, your birth mom was admitted to the hospital for seizures. She has epilepsy, which means that you could too. She went into pre-term labor on Monday morning, November 15. They were able to stop labor (THANK GOODNESS). The doctors took great care of your birth mom and altered her meds and she has been OK since. So we are VERY thankful about that!
On November 20th, your Aunt Amy and Aunt Devonie put together a fundraiser for us to help cover some of the adoption expenses! It was a wonderful afternoon and the outpouring of support for you was AMAZING! We were and are truly touched by everyone who supported the event. Adoption is really an amazing thing, little one! I don't ever want you to feel that it anything less than the miracle that brought us all together! We found you and you found us!
I read a post on Facebook today that really hit home: "Having a common bloodline or DNA doesn't make you family. A family is tied at the heart, not by blood."
Today your birth mom is 25 weeks along. Every week we get an update and today we were informed that you weigh about as much as an average rutabaga...I think I might miss these weird correlations! This also means that we could meet you in less than 3 months!
We are ready to really get started on your room. All the flooring upstairs has been replaced and now it’s time to get ready for you! We love you little peanut! We are still having a bit of a tough time coming up with your name because we can’t seem to agree on the perfect name for our beautiful boy!
I did the Turkey Trot today and thought about the years to come! I think it would be such a great family tradition to do that each year! I saw so many families this year and could help but think of how incredibly cute that would be!

Yesterday was Halloween and I couldn’t help but think how much fun next year will be with you! I will make sure you have lots of happy memories on Halloween and always! It will be nice to be a family. You are loved so much. We are more than halfway to meeting you and that will be the best day of my life!

I am missing you a lot today. Actually, I am missing you a lot lately. I want to know more about you but I don’t want to bother your birth mom. I really want to see you. I am waiting to hear when the sonogram will be so I can drive out and see you for the first time. I want to feel you kicking and I want you to hear my voice and know that I am out here waiting to meet you. I love you little one!
We found out yesterday that another couple from our adoption group received their little miracle today. You have SO many playmates not just from our adoption group, but also from our friends and family too! You will be so happy!

I spoke with your birth mom a few times since I’ve updated this! Her procedure on October 6 went well, and it was needed. Her doctor will remove the stitches at 36 weeks and he said you may be born shortly there after! They will remove the stitches on or close to February 10. Your birth mom says that she is feeling pretty good. She also said you are really an active little baby! She said your dad might be disappointed that you may turn out to be a soccer player instead of a bowler based on how much you are kicking!
Your birth mom had a follow up from the procedure yesterday (October 11) and said that they did a sonogram because they were having trouble with the Doppler machine when trying to hear your heartbeat. They could see your spine and said that everything looks great! You are 15 cm (about 5.9 in.), which is right on track! She told me again that the stitches will come out around February 10 and that may trigger labor. Your birth mom is thinking around Valentine’s Day…you would be the best Valentine EVER!!!
Your birth mom will see the doctor next week and we’ll find out when the sonogram will be where we can find out if you are a boy or a girl! Some parents wait to find out, but I can’t bear to wait! I want to get everything ready for you and go shopping! We will also have to figure out your name. We have been trying to come up with your name for a couple of years now, but we can’t seem to come up with a name that we think is as perfect as you will be!

I am SO excited to meet you! I have a friend who is pregnant right now and we have both wanted to start our families for so long now. She is due a couple of months before we are expecting you but her little guy will be a good friend of yours! We are going to do so many “mommy” things together! I can’t tell you how many people are so excited to meet you! You are going to be SO loved by so many! People have been praying for your arrival for many years! I am sure you will live up to all their expectations, and then some!

We are ready to paint your bedroom already! We picked out the color and your dad taped everything last night (Sept. 17, 2010). We hope you like your room. Your birth parents mentioned that they loved the bedding when they saw our profile book and we want to get everything ready for you. You’ll come to find out that your mom really likes to have time to prepare things and your dad has the patience to let me do this. I keep thinking that it will be perfect if you are a little boy and still neutral enough if you are a girl…But either way, when you are ready to move into your bed, we will make it "all boy" or "all girl"!
We told your birth mom that we want to find out your sex. Your dad and I are going to speak with your birth parents today. We are truly blessed to be so included in the pregnancy! Your birth mom sent us a video of your heart beat on September 16, 2010. You were 15 weeks that day! Your heart rate was 154 beats per minute, which is really great!
We just spoke to your birth parents. I can tell that they love you very much and want what’s best for you. Your birth mom also mentioned her upcoming appointments; Oct. 4th cervical cerclage pre-op; procedure on Oct. 6th and then a follow up on Oct. 14th. I think we will be able to find out if you are a boy or a girl around Nov. 12th. Your birth mom feels like you are a boy…she also said your birth father was able to feel you move for the first time.
You are getting bigger – about the size of an apple is what I read today. I will hear from your birth mom again around Oct. 4th to let me know what to expect from the procedure. I will pray for you all until I know everything is OK! I think you will be a little early…just a feeling. I am thinking around mid-February. We can’t wait!
