In the four weeks since we were selected to adopt our sweet son and our meeting with our birth mom Jenn, things have been hectic. We have been up to see her three times now. We went on August 12th for our 28 week 3D ultrasound. It was amazing to see him and such distinct features. We are so excited to meet him in person. We have also begun to foster a great relationship with our birth mom. She is an amazing person and we get along great. We also went up this past weekend to help her move into a new apartment. It is really interesting how invested in her wellbeing we are. It isn't just because of the baby because that is obvious. We just really care for her and know she has had a terrible time with family and people not supporting her and we have told her we will be her family forever in whatever way she chooses to be a part of our life. It is a beautiful relationship and we look forward to continuing to grow that over the next 11 weeks and for the rest of baby's life.
We have also been preparing physically in the house. Nursery furniture, bedidng, baby showers, baby clothes...our house looks like a complete war zone but we are really enjoying this and are thankful for the opportunity.
We have decided to name our son Asher James Harvey. Craig has always loved the name Asher and James is my Grandpa Erickson's name. We think it will be a great name for a little man!
