That's right, we got the call!! On Friday, October 14th at about 1:30 pm, we were informed that we had been chosen by a wonderful, sweet, thoughtful and selfless mother to be the parents of her baby boy (due December 30th, 2011). It is impossible to even express the emotions that we have felt over the past week, but it has been filled with such excitement and joy. Today we had the opportunity to meet this expectant mother as well as her mother and the connection we felt was immediate and strong. I want to be able to write an eloquent post sharing the experience of today as well as this whole week, but I just feel like there is nothing I can say that can really live up to what it has felt like. Thank you for all of your love and support and the prayers said on our behalf. We love you and will continue to share this journey with all of you.

I talked to Avery about it today. Her response when I said it was a boy was this: "A boy!?? Great..." Hahah...Then she said you should name him Oreo. So, probably don't be taking tips from the 5 year old on names. Love you guys! I have bordered on annoyingly excited and won't say it again. Just know that I plan to spoil this baby boy rotten!! :D

This is the best news ever. This little guy is going to be so spoiled, it's not even funny. We all are just so so excited. Addy keeps asking if she can hold her new little cousin. Watch out, she just might think he's hers for the taking. She tends to LOVE LOVE LOVE babies. Excited is a word that doesn't even come close to expressing how great this is. Congrats you guys! Love you!
