It's a....

Our story...

We are preparing the boys for their little sister with a some dress up time.  I'm sure this will be a regular occurrence in our house  before too much longer.

Our baby girl is right on track.  She measured just a few days ahead of her due date (January 3rd) at our last doctor's appointment.  Her heartbeat is still strong at 150 BPM.  I haven't had too many crazy cravings, just waffles topped with peanut butter, bananas, and maple syrup.  She started kicking about 3 weeks ago and knows exactly when daddy is trying to feel her kick because she stops immediately.  Hopefully before too long she will kick for him too!
 

 

 

We took this picture last week. We are now 20 weeks and 2 days.  Over half way there! :)

We attended our first PS-MAPP class this week to become licensed foster and adoptive parents.  We will meet for 3 hours ever Thursday night for the next 9 weeks.  The first night was spent getting to know the other parents in the class and understanding what they class will cover.  We got some reading homework and A LOT of paperwork to fill out before going back to class on Thursday.

 



Infertility Awareness...

When ever I get the question..."Is this your first?"  I struggle to answer it.  This is not our first child it is our third, but she will be the first child we get to meet.  I don't want to burden others with our story, but I also do not want to forget our first two children.  This week at work I got that question twice and shared our story with each of them and found out they both miscarried their first child and took 2 and 4 years respectively to bring a baby home from the hospital.
