Baby Meek Coming April 2016

We had another lovely visit a few weeks ago - probably one of the best. Sunday evening we went to dinner and had a great time getting to know one another better and sharing stories. Monday morning was another check-in with the OBGYN to hear the babies beautiful heartbeat - strong at 154 beats per minute. Shortly afterwards, we headed down the street to the hospital for the sonogram.  The nurse was very kind to let our entourage in for the viewing, and we're so grateful she did because it was one of, if not the best experiences of our life.
The room was dark and there was Christmas music playing softly in the background. The nurse explained that the whole sonogram would take about 40 minutes. Jim and I stood back in the dark corner trying to stay out of the way. The birthmother made a point to make sure the nurse knew that it's important that Jim and I can see everything. We reassured her that we had a great view. She squirted the gel on her belly, and instantly the baby appeared. Fluttering heartbeat and arms and legs bouncing about - so much in fact, it was difficult to get a good profile pic as the baby kept "looking at the camera".   I couldn't hold back the hot tears running down my cheeks. So many thoughts were crossing my mind; how much I love Jim, how grateful and blessed we are to have been connected so early on in our adoption journey, how my motherly instincts are already kicking in - worrying about every last detail of this baby & the adoption process, how long and trying this road has been leading up to this moment as we get to see our beautiful baby, and how anxious we are for April when we get to become parents.

We are excited to announce that BABY GIRL MEEK is coming in April 2016.
