a baby girl thru adoption & are over joyed. We have waited so long to be matched with a birthmother & it officially happened on Thursday evening. Rachel. the birth mother, is living in Hawaii where she is mobilized working in the Army Reserves PT & a Respiratory Therapist at a local hospital. She had a long list of preferences for the adoptive family she wanted & we met every single one, including active members of the Church of Christ & a stay-at-home mom. She is due Oct 27th so we only have 5.5 weeks till the big day, so we have lots to do. I have already washed all the newborn & 0-3 months baby clothes, blankets, bibs, burb clothes... now all we need to do is prepare her room. We went & looked at furniture Friday night & picked some out. We also need to move Chris a desk into our room which will require us purchasing a new one & tearing down our current office. So as you can see, we will be very busy the next few weeks.
Emma at first wasn't too keen on the idea until we told her she can feed her, help rock her to sleep, give her a pacie & then she started to like the whole "big sister" idea. She has never liked being around "real" babies but loves her baby dolls so we will see how this really play out once we bring her home.

Thanks ladies we are so excited we just about can't stand it. I am having a hard time staying level headed & focused on all we have to do to prepare for her arrival. Who knew we would only have 6 wks to get ready.
Another baby girl. So happy for you all. Little Emma will love being a big sister. Send pictures when the little miss arrives.
