Loads of Love

Ray and I felt the love on Sunday, February 10th. We had our first baby shower for baby Jackson and we recieved so many WONDERFUL gifts! We got most of the items that we really need to take with us to Arkansas. I was super excitied about getting our travel boppie, bookbag diaper bag, rock n play sleeper, and swing. We got some super cute outfits and so many other items that I don't think I could even list them all. My long-time friend Annie got me a cute tumbler and car decal that say "Got love. Adopt." and a piece of adopion artwork. Ray and I would like to thank Amanda Stevens, Misty Lim, and Jessica Wallington for giving us the shower. We would like to thank everyone that came out and shared this special time with us!

Our Little Man

Jackson's birthmother had an ultrasound done yesterday, February 5th, and everything showed that he is growing good. Everything seems to be just the way that it should be. Jackson's birthmother had a test that came back saying she needed to have a better quality ultrasound. So that's why Ray and I were just a little nervous because we wanted everything to be good for both of them. Ray and I gave the situation over to God and he looked over Jackson and his birthmother. God was in control because everything turned out GREAT and we got new pictures. Ray and I just can't share enough how blessed we are to have such a wonderful birthmother. She keeps us informed, texts or calls us, asks for our input on certain situations, and has really become a part of our FAMILY!! Ray and I are so excitied that we have to keep pinching ourselves to make sure that this drem is really about to true. Jackson is be a scheduled c-section so he will come at 39 weeks when we travel out to Arkansas. I can't to be in the delivery room with Jackson's birthmother and get to experience this blessing. Jackson's birthmother really wants Ray be in the room so that he can cut the cord and experience the blessing with us. Only 4-5 weeks left!! Thank you again to everyone for all of your prayers, support, and thoughts. We apprecipate them greatly! We love you all.

 

 

 

We love Little Rock, Arkansas.
