Are you kidding me?!

We have always wanted children. In our minds we would have both biological children and adoptive children. But, after 18 months of trying to get pregnant we started to think that we might not have biological children. At first that was a really disheartening thought but throughout the process in our last month of trying we really came to terms with the idea and were very glad to be heading down the road to adoption. We decided on a country and filled out applications and were just waiting on the final verdict of our last month of trying. I took a pregnancy test and it was negative so we sent off our application (forgetting to include the check)
TWO DAYS LATER:


ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?

So I called the adoption agency and said "we sent in our application but forgot our check but then two days later took a positive pregnancy test so I guess we'll get back with you in a couple years!" After that it was still really hard to believe that we were actually pregnant. It hasn't worked for so long so why would it this time. It was also really early so it is common to have something bad happen this early on. But today we went to the doctor for an ultrasound!



Everything looks great. We are 7 weeks along. The heartbeat is good. The doctor said we can get excited...so get excited with us!!

  2. I have to admit I totally laughed when I looked a how funny a baby looks that small. Almost looks like a cross I think. (Dave says: either that or a lizard)

    Can't wait to see you at Christmas.
