Great News

Great news came to us today!!!! We had been told that we would be traveling to Colorado in January or February for our finalization. I spoke to the agency in Colorado today that handled our placement and they gave me some wonderful news. November is National Adoption Awareness month and November 2nd is Adoption Day in court. Well.....Joel, Garrett and I will be traveling to Colorado for our day in court on November 2nd!!!! Our finalization won't actually occur until January, but we won't have to be there for another court appearance. They will do our finalization as a paper hearing with a judge. I had been worried about traveling to Colorado after the first of the year due to being further along. Thankfully the Lord was looking out for us again!!!!!
15 Weeks

~You may begin to feel some fluttering movements as baby kicks, flails, twists and turns (but don't panic if you don't yet). She can also grasp, squint, frown, grimace and maybe suck her thumb!
~Your baby's legs have grown longer than the arms and the body is now longer than the head.
And you'll be happy to note that he is moving those arms and legs often!
~His skin is very thin -- so thin blood vessel are visible. It's covered by a fine, soft layer of hair called lanugo. Lanugo comes from a Latin word meaning "down." This hair is thought to help insulate your little boy.
~The three tiny bones in his middle ear have begun to harden. The auditory centers in your baby's brain haven't developed yet, so she might not really understand what you say but her hearing capacity is in the process of developing.
~Fingernails and toenails are growing.
~Eyebrows are beginning to grow and even the hair his head is sprouting. It will probably change color and texture after birth.
~All this and your little one is an amazing 3.98 inches (10.1cm) long and may weigh 2.47 ounces (70gm).
