IT'S A.......

GIRL!!!!!

We are so excited. Our birthmother had her ultrasound on Tuesday and found it the baby is a girl. We have decided to name her Kara Grace. I wasn't planning on doing the whole "themed" nursery but now that I know she is a girl I got all caught up with looking at the beautiful girly stuff at the Babies-R-Us website.

We found out that the baby isn't actually due until Dec. 7!!! Our agency first told us she was due Oct. 21. That is quite a difference! Since she will be born via c-section it will be right around Thanksgiving. We are really hoping for the week AFTER Thanksgiving but will still be flying cross-country at the busiest time of the year.

WOW!!!

Hey everybody! I don't really know where to start but I will do my best to update you. We just got back this afternoon from NINE weeks at my parents' lake house in Oregon. It was wonderful.

Very long story--short--WE ARE ADOPTING!!! We finished up all the home study stuff before we left in June and got all the paperwork, fingerprints, DMV records, medical records, blah-blah-blah, done then too. Everything fell into place so quickly and easily. Thank goodness.

On July 31 we were selected by birthparents in Michigan and needless to say we are thrilled, overjoyed, and shocked about the perfectness of the whole situation.
My battery on my laptop is dying so let me know if you want more info... :)
