Now we wait . . . (Only 23 days until due date)
We speak with the birth parents over the phone or through text messages every week. The birth mom is doing well and all of the check-ups have gone very well. The baby seems to be growing right on target and has a strong heart beat. The birth mom will be 37 weeks this Wednesday! When she went for her check up Thursday, August 29th the doctor's told her she was 3cm dilated. She now goes for check-ups weekly until her due date or until she goes into labor. Since that visit on August 29th she has remained stable at 3cm. However, she could go into labor any time now.
David and I have been preparing everything for traveling to Florida to meet our new little man. For those of you that are not aware, we will be required to be in Florida for a minimum of 2 weeks. This is because there is a court process that takes place to legally transfer guardianship to David and me. So, we will have to pack everything that we could need during that time. It looks a lot like this . . .
I also recently had my first baby shower which is the reason I even have all of this stuff that I am able to pack! I had so much fun and it was so great to see everyone that was able to attend! I am working on these as well so please look for yours in the mail very soon . . .
Thank you again to all of you that have been on this journey with us. For all of you who have contributed financially, those of you who have contributed time or have contributed items for the yard sale, those who haven given a gift to help us prepare for the baby and for all of those that we know are praying for us we are so grateful.
We hope everyone is doing well and we will be sure to let everyone know when we get word that our little one is on the way!
