No update...
Still no baby Jubilee...I'm starting to think she's a stubborn one :)
L told me yesterday that she wished "your" baby girl would hurry up and come out...LOL!
Please keep praying for God's perfect time...there are a lot of reasons this sweet one needs to come sooner than later but God know exactly when she should come. Be praying for her safety...for her precious bmom who is very ready to be done and move on...patience for us...we are all besides ourselves every time the phone rings...LOL!!
Prayerfully my next post will be pictures of our girl ;)

3cm........
Yesterday I had the awesome privilege of spending all day with Jubilee's bmom, "L". We started with breakfast and ended up at the hospital :)
An extremely LLOONNGG story short..."L" is at 3cm...they could feel baby girl's head...they ordered a ton of blood tests and did an ultrasound. Everything looks fantastic...baby is officially due in F-I-V-E DAYS although we are hoping she won't wait that long :) Jubilee is measuring 8lbs. already!!!!! Because "L" hasn't seen the same dr. for her prenatal care, no one will induce her...they don't want the liability...booooo!
It was a very long day but I got to sit for hours and hours just listening to our sweet girl's heartbeat and ooohhhh, to see her gorgeous face...it was priceless. She has a little petite nose and beautiful angel lips. I wish they would have given me a copy of the ultrasound but alas, I'm just the adoptive mom...they actually didn't even give one to "L"...if they had, I have no doubt she would have given it to me.
I am so thankful to have the entire day with "L"...it was truly a gift!!! I'll keep you all posted...keep praying...ohhh, we are only $600 away from our first need...God is sooo good!!! His faithfulness to provide leaves me in awe!!!

The year of Jubilee
We have decided on our sweet girl's name. One of the things that drew "L" to our family was 'how happy we looked'. She kept saying, "They look so happy...just look at the kids...they are so happy." There is so much more to share but that will come later. We immediately knew that our girl's named needed to reflect joy and happiness.
Websters definition of our girl's name is: A time of great rejoicing. A season of great public joy and festivity.
The old testament describes her 'name' as a time of joyful celebration...of the trumpets being sounded!!

Our sweet girl will be named...
JUBILEE
and we will use her birthmother's name as her middle name.
Our precious Jubilee, we are eagerly awaiting your arrival and are celebrating that you will soon be in our arms. You are an amazing gift and we can't wait until you are here. The trumpets are sounding...there is great public joy & we are celebrating you. We love you sweet one!

IN SHOCK!!!!!!!!
There are really no other words to completely describe what our family is feeling....we are in absolute shock and excited beyond words!!!
God has decided to bless us with a precious baby girl...YES...we are going to have a new daughter. We received a phone call from our agency a few days ago regarding a domestic situation that they felt we'd be a good match for...at this time I won't go into any of the detail but baby girl is due in 13 days. We just got home from meeting the precious birthmother and she has chosen our family...she told us to hurry up and pick a name :) I even got the amazing privilege of feeling our girl move several times!! Our meeting was so wonderful and so comfortable. We are so thankful for the time we had with her today!!!
We asking for your prayers...that the Lord would be preparing us for our new girl...a newborn...I still can't believe it!!! That the Lord would continue to comfort this precious bmama as she prepares to make the most difficult choice ever!
Prayers for financial provision would be a blessing, too! The costs for the adoption will be around $14,500 with $2,500 being an IMMEDIATE need. Our agency has discounted it as much as possible but we will still have to pay the fees asap. I am putting a chip-in on the right hand side of the our blog if you feel led to donate. Wow...I can't believe this...I will be honest...the thought of trying to fundraise again is very daunting but I know the amazing blessing of the journey, too. Funny thing is we need $14,500 in less than 2 weeks..ahhh!!!
We have a baby girl on the way...I can't believe it!!!! Thank you, Lord for this amazing surprise!!!
