Well, the wait is averaging 12-13 months from LID. We are are 4 months into that wait. So...I figure that makes us officially Pregnant! Here is our 1st ultrasound! :) Dan and I went ice skating today and as we watched all the little ones buzzing by, we talked of our future with our little Lauren. During this wait time it almost seems surreal that we will actually have Lauren in our arms some day. She will change our lives forever.
Lauren, we love you and are praying for you everyday!

Happy 4 months & 5 days of Paper Pregnancy!!
I wish you could have met up with us in San Francisco! It was fun... and hopefully someday we will meet!
In regards to "officially being pregnang"... have you had a day yet where something just "grabbed" you... I don't know how else to put it... like maybe it's the day she arrived in this world? I have... and I just wrote the day down...
Hi!
This one is in response to your message on my blog!!
I mainly have those days of whistful thinking...hoping...and then every once in a while I have this "OH MY GOSH" scare grab me..... I don't know what it is exactly. Maybe the thought that I won't be good at this whole Mom thing... fear that I'll screw it up somehow... BUT... at the end of the day, I can always rest in peace because I know in my heart that I was born to do this. It is amazing how peaceful it can be when you exercise faith!
Also, I think it's so cool that those "feelings" and dreams have grabbed you too. Kayce & I were talking about that when we met and we both had experienced days like that... and now you say that you have too! I don't know what that means... or if it means anything at all other than we really really love our little ones already... but I have a feeling some of that is more than a coincidence!!!
Good Morning!
Thanks for the kind words on the blog! I am constantly amazed at the people I am meeting through this process. I seriously hope we meet one of these days!

Hi there Mardi!
This is in response to the message you left on my blog! :-)
We don't actually know the people who adopted in that video... we just have friends who know them. I think they live in Hawaii. I wish we knew people w/ adopted children here in California...but no cigar. Hopefully someday! Do you guys know any other adoptive families in your area???
By the way... I did cry when I saw the video! :-) Tears come way too easy these days!!
Stephanie
