343 pieces sold and 63 days left!

Whew.... what a whirlwind the past few weeks have been! We are officially moved into our new house and loving it! I can't wait to get the nursery painted and set up for our little man's arrival! The official due date is May 1st at 2:00pm (c-section) - unless he busts out earlier ;). The birth mom, Dana, updates us about doctors visits and so far she said Benjamin is healthy and growing... and moving a lot! We are so excited for this blessing the Lord is giving us.

We have sold 343 pieces so far... thanks so much for your support and prayers! We have been told someone will be "purchasing" 50 pieces soon, so that would put us up to 393 pieces! amazing! But we do still need 500 sold and beyond would be so great! We will need money for travel, and possible medical expenses as well as more lawyer fees if the fees we already paid run out. So please be praying for us and if you feel led to donate, our address is on the fundraiser letter tab.

However, everyone can be praying for a few things: Dana's heart, of course... Benjamin's growth and birth coming soon... for our preparation's and hearts... also after our next ultrasound on March 12th (we will find out what baby #2 is!) we need to tell St. Andres that we are pregnant as well and are praying that this will not hurt the adoption. Our attorney said it should not hinder or cancel the adoption, however, please pray that St. Andres will not do something rash and forbid us to adopt Benjamin. That is our greatest prayer request right now!

I, Kelly, have also decided not to finish the school year out teaching, after Benjamin arrives. My last day at school is April 13th, which will give me two weeks to prepare before we head to Virginia! This was a hard decision, but a much needed one. I look forward to this new adventure :)

Thanks again for your prayers, love and support during this time... please remember us in prayer as the time quickly approaches!
