ultrasound

Yesterday was our first official ultrasound! We have had a portable ultrasound but this was totally different, we got to see our baby on the big screen :) we also got our first picture and found out we are 11weeks pregnant making my due date Jan 15th. Jan. 15th is my nephew Curt's birthday, Josh's mom's birthday, and my sister's anniversary! Wow! What a popular day in our family.
The baby is doing great, moving around like crazy and growing so quick! We will be able to find out the gender at 19 weeks. I am so excited! It would be so sweet for Liam to have a little brother to play with, but it would be just as sweet for him to have a little sister to watch over. We really don't care either way just very excited to start our family!!!
I am feeling a little better this week, I felt great over the weekend, thought maybe I was over the worst of it but I guess I still have a little ways to go. I am starting to have cravings I have eaten way too much watermelon (thanks Jill!) but I also cannot stand anything too sweet which is good I guess.

We haven't heard anything from Ethiopia yet, I hope Jimbo is having a very successful week! I am praying he is able to figure out what is going on with Liam's birth certificate and get it fixed and hopefully get our case filed with the Embassy before he leaves. This is a lot so I am not sure he will be able to get it all done, I just really want to get that birth certificate. This was supposed  to be the easy part, which is why it is so hard to wait. I am so thankful for our new agents! They have been wonderful so far, Jimbo is great about keeping us up to date and he seems to be doing everything he can to get all of our cases back on track. There are 5 families total from Hope Adoption Agency that are in limbo right now, we are one of the two lucky families who have passed court and are just waiting on our birth certificate and to file with the US Embassy. I feel like if we can get to the Embassy everything will be okay since we will be dealing with the USA!!!
Please continue to lift Jimbo up this week, we is not only dealing with a very busy and stressful week but he is also adjusting to an 8 hour time difference and a totally different culture.
