It's a girl

Well, it's official, we have been taken off the boy list. That means we will be adopting an Ethiopian Princess. Both Mike and I have been feeling this way from the start of our adoption but wanted to be put on both lists just in case. I think for Mike it may have been the face of a beautiful little Ethiopian toddler girl, on a families blog that we were reading when investigating if this was something we really wanted to do. It was one thing that started to turn his heart from not being interested in adopting at this time to thinking this may be what our Heavenly Father has in store for us now. For me it started with the last 2 pregnancies (which ended in miscarriages) I was sure I was having a girl both times. It's kinda weird but with both Jaida and Jet I knew as soon as I was pregnant what they were (even though Mike felt strongly that Jaida was a boy... I should have bet him something good)Lately we have really been pondering if we should in fact be taken off the boy list since we are getting closer to a boy referral. I knew if we got a little boy referral I would not be able to say no. This was really hard for me because I hate waiting and am so ready for our baby now and a girl means the wait is even longer. We just keep feeling a girl in every way, so today when our case worker phoned I made is official. So I guess this means I can start buying little girl clothes... since I don't quite have enough from Jaida :)
