Drumroll Please....It's a........

So, I was talking to a friend on Tuesday sharing with her that for the first time during our experience this go-round, I was feeling somewhat frustrated and disconnected. I knew that our agency had staff meetings on Tuesday, and had anxiously waited all day to here more details about our baby, and did not hear a thing all day. Some of our best friends had a baby on Tuesday, so my excitement and joy for them (and for me because I know this little boy with bless my life tremendously) took my mind off of it for most of the day, but by the evening I was somewhat heavy. We only had to wait 5 days last time before we left to meet Bennett, so these last couple of weeks has felt like an eternity especially when you aren't hearing any more news. It's easy to feel numb to the experience which honestly is what I was more discouraged about. We are approximately 3 weeks away from meeting our baby (I'll tell you the gender in a minute), and I hated the fact that I was starting to lose grasp on the fact that we were going to have a new little one soon.

So, as we were driving home late Tuesday night, I decided I would check my phon

e to see if I had missed any calls, and I had missed the call from our case worker. She left a message that I chose to not listen to in case she was telling me that she knew nothing more, and I called her back. Here's what I know........T was in a car accident earlier this week and was very shook up about it. She couldn't get in to see her regular OB so she saw a midwife who checked her over and did an ultrasound. Everything is okay. T is fine besides being rattled from the experience and baby is still doing great! The experience T had with the midwife was nothing short of ridiculous though, so she is seeing her regular OB today for another visit. The midwife did a fine job from the medical standpoint, but spent a long time with T trying to talk her out of placing this baby. This made T mad, so after she heard she and the baby were ok, she left and set up the appointment she has today with her doctor. She is measuring 35 weeks which is right where she should be, and we are supposed to find out today when her doctor is going to release her to fly to Utah. The agency wants her there now, and are thinking that her doctor probably isn't going to let her stay in her state much passed 35 weeks. So, we still don't know an exact date, but hopefully by tomorrow, we will. The agency is still saying that they won't let the baby be born before 38 weeks, but I think there is still a chance, though it may be slim, that T may talk them into taking the baby at 37 weeks. We will wait and see. Once we know a date, we can book our flights which will be nice to have done. If you think of it, just pray for T in these last couple of weeks she has at home with her daughter. I know that this is going to be very hard on her, and I would lov

e to cover her in prayer as much as possible. Thanks again for praying for us! It is a true joy to share this experience with you! Until next time........

It's a BOY!!!!!
