Day 175 Waiting for our baby through the miracle of adoption
Today was wonderful. We took the day off of work and drove down to meet our birthmom, J, in person. We get along so well with her! I think one of the reasons why I love her so much is because she reminds me A LOT of my best friend, Cessi.
Anyway, we started the day out by going to her doctor's appointment with her. We met her doctor and we got to listen to the baby's heartbeat!!! This is the same doctor who delivered both of her other babies she placed, so she really feels comfortable with him. We are going to be able to go to another doctor's appointment with her in October to find out whether we're having a boy or a girl!
After the appointment, we took her to IHOP because it was still early in the morning. We had a good time just chatting and eating breakfast. Then we wandered around the mall together. After that we gave her a ride home. All together, it was a pretty great day! Next time we go down we're also going to get to meet some of her family, so we're pretty happy about that. The only thing we're concerned about right now is the birth father, T. He says he is supportive of the adoption plan, but his family is VERY negative about it. So we are praying that things will work out with him. Please join us in those prayers.
So other than that, we went to my little sister's wedding this past weekend. It was great! It was really neat to be able to watch them be married in the temple, and remember the day almost 4 years ago when we were in their place. Plus Ashley looked beatiful!
Malone will be starting his classes again soon. He's looking forward to getting back into the structure of school, but not looking forward to being so busy with research and two classes. I'm not looking forward to that part either, but I guess we have to pay our dues just like everybody else!
One last thing. We are looking for a new place to move to. This apartment has just gotten too expensive, and with a baby on the way we are looking to save as much as possible. Anybody who lives here have any good suggestions?

That is wonderful. I am so glad you get to form a friendship with her like that. It is such a blessing. I know nothing is every 100% but this feels right! You won't have massive travel expenses and you don't have to pay for a facilitator. I am very excited for you two. I am also excited about going to the reception for Ashley here in IL. Please post some pics of her wedding
I am so excited for you. I don't really know you, but hope to get to know you better through FSA. I just love to hear good news about adoption. An e-mail was sent through the FSA meeting notes with all the good news and so I had to read all about your meeting this birthmom and the contacts you have had. Good luck with everything!
Well, sounds like you guys had a lot of fun with your birth mommy down there. It is awesome to be able to built a good friendship with them, what a blessing! I have herad that apartments clos to campus are pretty cheap. We'll keep our eyes open! Good luck with everything! Sorry but we didn't come to logan on Thursday like we said we where. We'll just drop the binder and infp when possible. Thanks
Hi Brittany! This is Irene. Remember me? I work at EIRI where Matthew comes to clean and water plants. I was looking at the card you gave me and decided to check your blog out. I have a blog too. Feel free to take a look and leave me comments. If it's okay, I'd like to follow your blog as you and Malone go on this grand adventure. I am so excited for you guys and have no doubt that our Heavenly Father definitely has a plan for you and knows just the right baby to place in your home and hearts. You will be in my prayers! Best of everything to you and Malone! You deserve it!
