adoptions, ultrasounds, and baby-moons....o yea!

Hmmm...there has been no movement on the adoption list over the last month.  This was to be expected but it is of course disappointing.  Courts in Ethiopia close during the rainy season thus putting a huge stop of the adoption process this time of the year.  We were told by our agency that they expect things to pick up in the coming weeks as the courts are expected to open, so keep those fingers crossed!  As of right now we are number 35 on the list.

As for the baby in the belly, things are moving along nicely there.  He or She is said to be the size of an avocado.  It will be nice to reach that stage where our future son or daughter isn't described using produce :).  This pregnancy has been harder on Jana in comparison to when she carried Callie (tired, forgetful---for Jana at least)  but she, like always, hardly complains.   Still able to keep everything running smoothly while growing a baby inside her!





We are excited to be approaching that fun milestone of pregnancy where you can opt to discover the sex of the baby.  I don't know how people opt out and wait until the day of delivery.  I can hardly make it to 20 weeks!  Of course everyone has their own predictions, even Jana, but we will find out for sure when we return from our "baby-moon" next month.  That is right!  We are going on a baby-moon!  After years of saying "we should go" or "wouldn't it be nice to" I had a dream a few months ago that we did! I woke up and told Jana about it, and that evening we started to make arrangements to do a long awaited trip to the UK.  Although we are bringing Callie with us on our baby-moon (excited about having her come really), Jana and I are literally counting down the days until we take this trip!
