I know it has been awhile but there is really nothing new happening on the adoption front. We are still in touch with Sara and talk to her often. We are planning a trip to meet her in person at the end of this month. Just a chance to get together before Jake is born and get to know each other in person before we are in a hospital having a baby together. Sara is wonderful and we are enjoying getting to know her. We are looking forward to our trip to meet her very much!
We have had a lot going on though! Our last couple of weekends have been crazy to say the least! We had a family reunion out of town, our car got broken into the Saturday night before Fathers Day (that was a huge mess that took days to get every thing taken care of), of course my cousin Robbie died, and several other things have been going on. It has been several weeks since we have had a "normal" weekend. We actually did NOTHING this weekend and it was nice! We stayed at home last night and watch TV, got up this morning and went to church, ate lunch after church, came home and took naps, and then went swimming at our friends Big Eds. It has been a great weekend!
It was very nice to get back in the routine and especially nice to be back in church after several weeks of being out. Although we were late and sat in the balcony I was happy to be back! I am happy to be back in the routine of things. Everyone keeps saying that the baby will change everything and I am sure that is true but it is a change we are so looking forward to! This run of "happenings" lately has become almost to much! I am ready to be boring and predictible again!

Moving Right Along
Things are moving right along for us since we were match with Sara. We are building a relationship with her. We send text messages back and forth daily and talk on the phone once a week. She is a very sweet girl and we are enjoying our time that we get to spend with her.
Jeff and I are working on taking a quick trip to meet her. We would all feel a little more comfortable if we knew each other a little better before the baby is born. It will be a quick weekend trip but we are looking forward to it none the less.
We still don't know if the baby is a boy or girl. We are hoping to find out in the next week or so. Sara's next appointment with her doctor is June 22nd so hopefully she can have an ultra sound then. I am praying that the doctor decides to check everything out so we can start buying pink or blue. I am just about tired of green!
We have started looking at things like diapers and bottles. My things have changed on that front! Now you have so many choices and if you don't pick the perfect one then you are not a good parent - at least the marketing departments would have you believe that! Glass bottles are the new "old" thing now because they don't have BPA. I don't know what BPA is but evidently someone somewhere thinks it can be dangerous so now you have to use glass bottles again but now they have silicone sleeves to keep them from breaking when they get slung across the room! I am sure that was the reason everyone had to start using plastic in the first place.
This weekend we have a Littleton Family reunion. My grandmother on my Daddy's side - my PoohPooh, was a Littleton. EVERY second Sunday in June we all meet and have lunch together and spend the day together in Sardis. Same place, same time for as long as I can remember! It is not nearly as much fun as it was when I was a kid but it is something PoohPooh loved and wanted us to keep doing so I go every year for her. She would want her family represented and so far we have done a good job.
We have been so busy getting to know Sara and getting everything lined up but it has been a wonderful experience thus far. God has been so good to us. There were times when I wondered if He had forgotten me but I can see now He was planning a wonderful journey for me. It would just be a lot longer than I had hoped for! We are so thankful for Sara, Gloria, and Stephanie! Gloria and Stephanie are the wonderful ladies at Valley of Hope that are helping Jeff, me, and Sara through this process. We could not have asked for anyone any better! They are all a blessing to us!
Pray for us as we continue our journey to our baby! Thank the Lord it is finally in sight!
