The Verdict Is In...

...and we're having a girl!!!!

We are so excited to welcome a little girl to our family! She wasn't feeling very photogenic today, so we couldn't get a good profile picture, but she definitely wasn't shy about letting us know that she is a girl. Everything looked great, and my due date is still September 2.

Lots of Movement!

We are definitely seeing a lot more mobility at our house lately. Although Jaxson started rolling over a while ago, he has really stepped it up lately. He now LOVES to roll over. He is really good at rolling from his back to his stomach, but is still working on going from his stomach to his back. Once Jax has rolled onto his stomach, he does a great job of propping himself up on his arms.


Once he is up on his arms, Jaxson will bring up his knees and try to scoot/crawl. So far he isn't too good at going forward, but he is really good at moving around in circles.

It has been so much fun to watch Jaxson learn grow. He is so smart! I know that he will be moving even more before I know it!

Besides Jaxson moving more, his little sibling has been moving a lot, too! I started feeling the baby move a couple of weeks ago, and I am loving it. It is so reassuring and it makes this pregnancy seem even more real. Sometimes it seems so surreal and it is hard to believe that I really am pregnant and will be having a baby in September. But whenever I feel those little kicks, it brings it all home and it is such a great feeling. This pregnancy is going by SO quickly. We go in for our big anatomy ultrasound next week, and Mike and I are excited to find out if we will be having a boy or a girl.

One of Those Girls...

Did you know that available research indicates that only 5-7% of couples who adopt due to infertility go on to become pregnant? Well, apparently the odds are in our favor, because...

Jaxson is going to be a big brother! We took this picture of Jaxson in January when we used this onesie to share the news with our families.

So far, things seem to be going well. I have had three ultrasounds, and everything is looking great. I am just about 15 weeks and the baby is due September 2. Jaxson and his sibling will be ten months apart in age. This will be quite the adventure, but we are definitely very excited!
