Zane is here!!!!

Mike and I are overjoyed to announce the birth of our SON Zane!! He decided to enter the world early and was born on October 22. He is beautiful and perfect!! We were so blessed! He is truly a gracious gift from God!

I had a baby shower!!!

Last Saturday my girls at work gave me a baby shower and it was a HUGE shower! There were something like 35 people there. It took me hours to go through everything once I got home to figure out what I had. I actually feel ready for a baby now - or at least as ready as you can get! It was all so moving and surreal. I still can't believe this is all happening. It is so exciting! Only 2 weeks until the due date. The nursery is almost done - just a few things left to do but it's ready for a baby.

Me and Mom on the right (I don't look 37 weeks pregnant!)
and my friends Julie & Lisa (the shower hostesses)

Baby name = Zane

Oh, thank you for the comment from Joce on my last post; I forgot to share his name! We are naming him ZANE! (Middle name still to be determined.) Zane was our front runner for a name and then I picked up a baby book and they gave the meaning as "God's gracious gift". That's all it took! What else is he but our gracious gift from our gracious God! So Zane it is!

35 weeks and counting!

All is going well with our domestic adoption - our birthmom is 35 and a half weeks along and is due November 3rd. That's in One Month!! I've been able to go to her last two OB/gyn appointments and the baby seems perfect. My mom was even able to go to one appointment, so she had a chance to meet her as well. She is such a sweet girl. I still can't believe this is all happening. It hasn't quite sunk in yet!
