Baby Update

Since our announcement that we are expecting, we have found out that our future daughter will have an older brother.  His name is going to be Bennett Allen Wright.  We will call him Bennett.  The ultrasound visit was such a great experience.  It is so amazing to watch this little man grow from a white dot to a baby with hands, feet, fingers, and toes.  I am truly thankful that God blessed us with this miracle.

 

I am now approaching 23 weeks.  I cannot hind the belly any longer.  We have enjoyed starting to pick things out and get Bennett's room ready.  The first thing we did when we found out we were having a boy was buy the bedding.  Two weeks ago, we ordered the baby furniture. It will probably be mid May before it arrives.  Since then, I have registered at a number of places.  I did not know how much stuff there is to get for a baby.  Luckily, I have some great friends that provided lots of tips and advice to help me in this process.   Below are links to the sites to see the bedding and furniture.

Last weekend, we started the cleaning process.  The room we have been using as an office will be Bennett's room.  My nephews did a great job packing up all my books.  Hopefully over the next two weekends we will have his room all ready for the furniture when it arrives. 

 

Thank you to our family and friends for all your love and support.  I really appreciate the gifts we have already received.  Please continue to pray for the pregnancy and a healthy Bennett.

Adoption Update

In January, we received information and paperwork related to our adoption.  Some of our documents have a 15 month life.  We are approaching where these documents are going to expire.  I cannot believe it has been over a year since we started this process. 

 

I completed the DHR Background check documents.  We have also received letters for both of us that we are again approved for adoption from DHR.  I still need to get another physical and prepare a new financial statements.  There are a few other documents that we must provide (dog vaccination, proof of insurance, etc).  I am hoping to get these items completed in April.  We will also have to have an updated home study which will probably be done in May or June.
