Winds of Change

Well, here we are again at a crossroads. I guess that I'll never be able to experience what it would be like to bring a baby home at a time when things were not in chaos. I guess what is , is.

Today marks another day of testing for the birthmom. An ultrasound and Non-stress test will be done hopefully all this morning. If all goes well today than they will induce on Thursday if she doesn't go into labor before that day. I think I'm ready but also a bit nervous.

Life continues, business as usual: clarinet lessons, cello lessons, possible basketball for Renee, did I mention Renee is part of the gifted and talented class at school. Renee likes to be very busy, she didn't get that from my side of the family........Justin's starting a discussion group at school for topics relevant for teen's today, the purpose is to bring it around to relationship with God. GO JUSTIN!!!

That's all for my ramblings.....

Baby room

well it's not much but I think we're ready. It's more than my other kids ever had, and I'm not sure I was able to fit a rocker in their rooms. We have a little blue, a little purple, and a lot of brown.....

Baby room

The Roundy Baby

Well here he/she is....... God has met us in so many ways during this process. We are just praying that everything goes smoothly both for the birthmom, hospital, adoption proceedings etc.....

10 days or sooner...

Well, if we don't have a baby by the 1st, I guess it will be next Thursday. (Nov 1st) Here are my name choices so far:
Girls' Names:- Kyria- Lily - Anaya - Sophie
Boys' Names:- Josiah, Elijah,
Unisex Names:- Aliah- Ariel- Jaden- Jadon
Right now we need prayer for health of the baby. There may be an issue with a kidney, something about a dialated kidney and get a sonogram after the baby is a week old. This week there will be another sonogram and non-stress test to make sure it's okay to stay inside another week.
I'm going to try and post from my phone tonight. Maybe the sonogram pictures... Hopefully I can figure it out so I can send a picture over the blog as soon as the new Roundy meets the world.....
I'm up for cool Bible names if anyone wants to put their two cents in, just no hurt feelings please.

The countdown begins!!!

Well, I guess we are three centimeters. I know, that could mean days, but given previous history I don't think so.... I'm cramming 9 months of thinking about this into a month and my head is spinning. I'm not ready yet but hopefully by tomorrow evening I will be. Barbara's birthday is tomorrow but we can't celebrate until Saturday, we are going to a concert tomorrow night, party on Saturday, and then the baby can come. Still getting input for boy names. Crazy days ahead. I've been sewing baby diapers, I'm still going off my green theme. In honor of my recycle, reuse policy I only had to buy a little extra material. Mostly just to be cute. I've made 6 diapers so far out things from goodwill, my own sewing bag , cupboards, and old receiving blankets. They are kinda cute. Maybe I'll post a picture sometime. Well, that it's for now. I'm going to start waking myself up again in the middle of the night so I can get conditioned. =) Good night!

Adoption

HI all,
I'm posting this information so you can pray for us. Our family is in the process of adopting a baby. This baby is due Nov. 3rd. We have a lot to do to prepare for this and yes, money is involved. Can you all please pray for us during this time.
1. Healthy baby!!!!
2. That it wouldn't be early
3. For the health of the mom, healthy weight gain for her and baby
4. We need health insurance, I'm trying through the state but haven't heard back yet. I need this to bring the baby home!

Thanks so much for your prayers.

Would you like to get in on the name picking?? I like Anaya for a girl. It's a Hebrew name that means God remembered. (I prayed for a few years that we would be able to adopt a baby) I have nothing for a boy.
