Almost Four Weeks

No, the title of this post is not saying that in a month something will happen, it is saying that in four months we will become Four Weeks...yup were having a baby. We had a very exciting weekend. Baby #2's birthparents came to visit us, from Denver, Colorado. We found out a couple months ago that we have been chosen to be parents, again! We finally got to meet our birthparents. We had a great weekend with them, and even found out the gender.....


Here we are...the very happy family, excited for our new addition.

T and J (our birthparents) brought us a little gift from the ultrasound on October 1st, a picture, an outfit, cute little shoes and birpclothes...telling us we are having a....













BOY!

Kya showing you her little baby brother...that she has named Chester.

She is 21 weeks, everyone is healthy and our due date is February 4th, 2009.

Oh Paula!!!!! Congratulations! I am beyond thrilled for you guys! I had no idea. I hopped on your blog and suddenly saw the baby widget and was like, "whaaaaat?"

Holly in our ward just adopted a baby boy (born a couple weeks ago). It's so wonderful to hear these success stories. Especially after all the waiting waiting waiting........

Good luck with everything. You will all be in our prayers.
