Life can change in a flash

Not to long after our last blog post we were contacted by our first and only birth mom. And what a roller coaster it has been since. The first contact we got from her was through an email on adoption.com It was a small get to know you and inquire email. From there our relationship has grown. As the pregnancy has progressed our conversations have become more frequent. We love the bond that has grown. She has shared so much with us and us with her.

So our months have been spent getting ready for baby. The joy to do this after 10 years of waiting has been indescribable to measure. We have been making big changes to get ready.

Heather has gotten a new job, closer to home, with better hours. No more driving an hour to and from work. She works just 20 min away (door to door)
We have also spent almost every free moment getting the baby's room ready as well as the upstairs done. It is finally feeling like home and almost ready for the little one.

Our birth mom has kept us in the loop daily. From inviting us to the ultrasound to find out the gender to telling us his favorite foods and when he keeps her up all hours of the night. We truly feel like we haven't missed a thing.

With Thanksgiving and then Christmas right around the corner we have so much to be thankful for.
We moved to a state where the only people we knew was the few family that lived here. We did't know why we had to move, we just did. Since our move we have moved into our beautiful home, gotten some great jobs, made some amazing friends and has been given the opportunity to meet our amazing birth mom and grow our family through adoption.
