IT'S A BOY!!!

We found out today that we are "having" a boy! We are sssooooo excited! We are going to name him Carter, and we decided to let our birth mother pick his middle name, so he will have a piece of both of us in his name. She is always going to be a part of our lives and our son's life, and I want our son to know that we respected and appreciated his birth mother enough to let her take a part in naming him.

I got to go to her ultrasound which was a wonderful experience, but took forever. The appointment was at 2:15, and we had to wait in the waiting room for about 20 minutes, only to find out that we needed to go to a different office (down the hall) to get the ultrasound. So we had to go down there and wait a while longer. Then the ultrasound itself took about 30 minutes, and then we went back to the first waiting room to wait to see the doctor. Unfortunately, her doctor had been called out for a delivery, and another doctor in the practice had a family emergency, so there was one doctor seeing all the patients for 3 doctors! Needless to say, we were there a while. We didn't even see the doctor until after 4, and we had been there since 2:15. But it was alright, it was definitely worth it! And I got to spend some more time with our birth mother which was a blessing.

After the appointment, I went straight to Michael's and bought some wooden letters to spell out "CARTER," blue paint to paint them, and brown ribbon with blue polka dots on it to hang them on the wall. That's my next project! Please pray everything continues to go as smoothly as it has been!
