Baby update.

Hello everyone! I thought I would give you all a bit of an update on everything.

First, our fundraiser on July 10th raised us another $1711 towards our adoption! With that we are done fundraising! I want to give a huge thanks to everyone who has supported us financially in the past two years. With some EXTREMELY generous donors we have raised over $44,000 in the past two years! Thank you! With the exchange rate at the awesome place that it is, our adoption is going to be costing us around $50,000 plus travel expenses, so we are feeling incredibly blessed that our financial burden has been made significantly less because of all of you! So thank you!

We are still waiting for this little guy to be born! We are five days from his due date and anxiously anticipating his arrival. Today would be a good day to be born (it's my birthday) so that would be the best birthday ever! We have a hotel room booked from now until mid-August that allows us free cancellation if cancelled the day before. So everyday we cancel a day. Really hoping we can go soon!

We haven't talked with our birthmom again, but we have been told that she is really ready for the baby to come. We are supposed to get an update from the caseworker later today as she is meeting with our birthmom today.

We are getting super excited and hope that he doesn't go ten days overdue! I'd be losing my mind! I have three more shifts at work until I'm off for parental leave. C'mon baby!!!

This anticipation is crazy. Can't wait for the day that we can announce him to you all!

Thanks again for all the love and support. We have been truly blessed by all of you and we are overwhelmed with your generosity.
