Think Pink!!!


That's right...we are having a girl! Mike and I could not be more happy knowing that our daughter will be born in less than 2 months. Here is the latest ultrasound pictures of her. She is absolutely beautiful. Right now she is just about 4 1/2 pounds and is doing well. Birthmom is about 32 weeks and 5 days so it might be a little earlier than April 17th. We go back to the doctor with her on Monday and get to hear how our little one is doing.

Last night at our girls group, they asked me how I am feeling now that Baby Girl Wise is on her way...and soon. A few weeks ago, before the gender reveal, I felt nervous. Nervous about being a mom and about what to expect and especially nervous about all the change that will be coming. But now that we are closer and to know that we will have a daughter, I just have a sense of peace about me. In our years of waiting for this little one, I have never felt so happy ever before. I still don't know what to expect and what the next couple months will look like but I cannot wait to find out.

This little girl will be so loved....oh my gosh! I already love her so much and daydream constantly about what it will be like to hold her and know that I don't have to give her back and that she is ours. I know that this is still an adoption and the birthmom can change her mind but I am trusting God. He has led us this far and I think He is working this all out for our good and of course, for His glory!

Already in love...


It's so strange to feel such love with something so quick. But yet I am. This little baby has already stolen our hearts. God has blessed us beyond our wildest dreams with this little one and I am in awe of His work.

This past Monday was Valentine's Day. This is the day of love and the day we first saw our baby. It will be the day that we will tell our child we first saw that gorgeous face. We were able to be with the birthmom at her doctor's appointment. Although the appointment started out pretty awkward (being that it was her appointment and all!) but it turned out to be wonderful. The doctor ended up doing an ultrasound and we got to find out what we are having. After the dramatic reveal (which will be another post!) the birthmom looked at us and said congratulations. It was so kind of her and we are so lucky to have her in our lives.

Our little one is already so loved. And in 60 days, we will get to meet Baby Wise!!! Amazing!
