This week is what I refer to as "Birthday Week." I love birthdays and love to celebrate all week. This year I am getting the sweetest birthday gift ever. Thursday, October 21st, I am going to the doctor with our birth-mom to have a sonogram and find out if it is a BOY or GIRL!!! God's timing is so good and I feel like it is such a sweet gift to get to be a part of this, much less find this news out the day before my birthday!

Please pray that this is a sweet time for us, but also pray for this sweet birth-mom. I know this will be a tough and emotional time for her as she hears those words. I hope this will be a time that I can love on her and minister to her, while also feeling excitement (such a tough balance)!

I am excited and on Friday, the only thing I want to do for my birthday is go register for our baby at Babies-R-Us, so we are having a date night at the baby store! We were registered but about 3 weeks ago we got a letter in the mail saying they kicked us off the registry because no one had purchased anything off the registry in over a year!!! I had to laugh...who knew you could get kicked off a registry! It has been a long process, even Babies-R-Us feels that!

Let's take a vote....BOY or GIRl??? Comment what your guess is! Tune in to facebook, twitter, and the blog for the ANNOUNCEMENT on Thursday night!
