9 weeks and counting

Today marks the two month date! We have nine weeks until our baby's due date! Just two months ago we found out we were having a boy! And about three months ago we started the amazing process of adopting this little guy! My how things have changed over the past couple of months.

We met with our social worker last week and really didn't get too much new news. We will probably talk with her a couple more times before his arrival just to ask and answer any questions that pop up. But, for the most part, sometime in January we will get "the call" that our birth mother has gone into labor. Once we get the word, we'll hit the road! We also got some good news that we might not have to stay out of state as long as we had once thought. We still might be there around a week, but that is MUCH better than two weeks!

Ohhh....we are 99% set on the name for our little guy. We aren't revealing it yet...soon, I promise.

Still getting ready!

So we are a little more than two months from the arrival of our little man. We haven't heard any more updates, but we meet with our social worker next week. She might have some information for us then.

Baby Gerke's room is just about done. We purchased a gilder/rocker this past weekend and just finished putting together. It's so comfy and matches the room perfectly! We know it will be used a LOT for those middle of the night feedings :-)

We've narrowed the names down to three! It is killing my mom that we won't just pick one and tell her! We can't decide on one and we might not until we see the little guy. So for now and the time being he is just Baby Gerke! I'd say we might have a name picked out by our next post, but that's not very likely :-) We know the middle name will be William, so maybe that can hold you over until we pick/announce the name!
