Life truly has been a whirlwind the past 11 months. Its so hard to believe our baby has been with us for almost a year already! What a blessing she is. Its amazing how beautiful she is:) I always dreamed of being a momma, but i never imagined having the capacity to love this much! God is so good and we are soooo blessed to have gabby be part of our lives! I am so lucky to have my best friend as my husband! We are so far from the perfect marriage, however, i wouldnt want to travel through this life with anyone other than the man i am with! I love our little family!

Air guitar baby..

This is my baby Gabby! Never in my life did i dream i could be this in love with someone other than my husband! She is so special and although i have only known her 5 months, I feel so much affection towards her. In the large picture above she seems to be playing an air guitar!!! She is so funny how she holds her little hands in different poses.... Last night she laughed so hard when her dad and I kissed her little tummy. She is such a joy and we are so blessed to be her parents!!! I love you baby:)

she's almost here

Ok, we have about three weeks to go before she arrives if i go to my due date! It's so hard to believe we have come this far. Hoping she comes early:)

oh my goodness, she's gonna be here soon!!

Its so hard to believe little Gabby will be here in about six weeks! I can't wait to meet her! yesterday we had two appointments. my mom came with nick and i to our ultrasound appointment. it was really special. although my mom had six children of her own, she never had the privilege of seeing her babies before they were born. it was a good time. our baby is pretty much ready to come out. she is in position, weighs almost six pounds, and looks great! The tech said she would be just fine if she were born now! She also said, based on her measurements her due date says march 3rd. our due date is march 15th! So, we're either gonna have a big baby,or she's going to come early! 'm hoping for her to come early:) Keep us in prayer and I'll post pics when she gets here!

excited but torn...

Everything has happened so fast. Its so hard to believe we are going to have a baby in the house in only 11 weeks or so. It seems like just yesterday i was broken at the realization i could not bear children of my own. It seems like just yesterday my heart broke again as we were turned down at adopting from china. then, just when we are all set to go with adopting from Korea, actually waiting for our referral.... possibly expecting a baby in spring of 09.... we find out we are pregnant!!! Don't get me wrong, i am thrilled at the thought of having this little girl:) The idea of being pregnant still boggles my mind! There is a part of me though that is disappointed about being torn off the Korean list. i really am excited about that little punky too! I have still kept up with the Korean blog and as i peered at the list today, they are already into November 07! This means we would have received our referral and our baby would have been here possibly the same time as this baby girl or shortly after. Is it weird that i feel grieved about a baby that was never officially mine? all those tears of sorrow over not being able to conceive and now i am pregnant and grieving over our being skipped over in the referral department! I don't want to give off the impression that i am ungrateful for the blessing God has given us here in being pregnant with our daughter. I guess i just don't understand his plan sometimes.
All is well.....

we are out of the 1st trimester

Well, we had our Dr appointment yesterday. Everything looked great! Our little baby is actually 14 weeks, not twelve, which was an awesome surprise. He/she had little hands, fingers, arms, legs, ears..... so cool to see! I got a little weepy watching this ultrasound. This was my first belly ultrasound, which was much more fun then the others! We are very excited! So continue to keep us in prayer as we progress in this pregnancy!
