There are times when the adoption process is exhausting and painful and makes us want to scream. But then I remember...so does childbirth!"
Happy 2014! I can't believe this is the year that we will welcome a little baby into our home and hearts! Hopefully!
We are exactly 4 weeks from the due date and the freaking out has already began! I was getting things together to pack "just in case" when I realized...we needed more! We had 6 outfits and no place for the baby to sleep....upstairs! We have purchased a pack-n-play for downstairs, but we have nothing for upstairs! Once again, thank goodness for friends! I was telling Maridee this and like magic, she loaded up Greg's truck with items we "needed"! Greg was shocked at all of this! Load of laundry done, packed and bassinet set up! I feel a little better! Blankets...we need blankets! I have that on the list! And of course, when I buy one child something I feel I have to buy them all three something! This could get expensive!
To end 2013, Tre' and my niece had their wisdom teeth pulled and Taylen went to London! Taylen got the better end of that deal! It was so fun to see Taylen on TV performing in the Queen's Parade on New Year's Eve and even more entertaining to see Tre' and Ashlin after their procedure! My mom and Rick were here for Christmas and took care of them (and us) while Greg and I worked! We all had so much fun and always sad to see them go! But, as of today, Taylen is on his way home and Tre' and Ashlin are good as new....just minus some wisdom!

I spoke with Sarah last night for our weekly call. Not too much news to update. She had her ultrasound and she said "he still has all fingers and toes"! That's good to know! She always has some sort of drama going on....this week it was her cable! So I talk about that with her and bring up the baby when I can. But mostly we talked about cable and bills! I guess that is what I am here for! I explained to her that I was leaving to take Tre' to Florida next Sunday, so I would appreciate her holding that baby in until I get back ! :-)
I have a feeling the baby will be born either January 18 or February 9. I am not sure why I think that, but I do! And I feel like he's going to weigh about 9 lbs! Not sure why I feel that either! I asked Greg if he had any thoughts....he doesn't! What about you?
And, speaking of Maridee...she figured out that ultrasound view! (What would I do without her???) It is his little butt (looking up). You can see his little hiney, his legs and his "boy parts" and the umbilical cord! If you look really close to the top of the ultrasound, it says "I'm a boy"! So, it is verified!
That is all the updates I have for now! I guess no big updates are good, right?
