Making Progress

Today was a good day.  Truth be told, I started off the day very somber, burdened by the weight of the previous night's stresses.  However, a few stresses were able to be released as some issues were resolved.....for today at least.  Birth mother & I made a quick trip to her DR's office to check something off of her "to do" list, & it turned out to be a much more productive trip than either of us had expected!  We were able to check off "task #1", the reason we stopped by in the first place.  However, on our way out, I suggested that we stop by the hospital pharmacy to pick up her prescription that we both had forgotten to pick up the day before when we were there for her DR visit.  From that stop at the pharmacy, we were able to find out that the insurance issue she's been battling had finally been resolved!  Huge answer to prayer!  Those few little words from the pharmacist instantly changed both of our demeanor.  A HUGE burden had been lifted from us both!  Praise the Lord!

Moving backward a day, let me tell you about birth mother's & my sonogram visit.  Let me tell you - I have never seen such a detailed sonogram before in my life!  Because she's as far along as she is, the baby has developed to a point that allowed us to see various organs & baby movements that most parents don't get to observe due to their sonogram being closer to the 1/2 way mark in the pregnancy.  We learned all kinds of things about our baby!: that they have a full head of hair (long enough that it was waving in the amniotic fluid), all the organs are working properly & growing at the rate they are supposed to, the length of their legs, arms, hands, feet, etc, & so much more!  It was a beautiful time as a mother to witness God's creation as it was in progress.  Now, let me announce to the world what everybody's been dying to find out...the gender.  As of early to mid June, the McMurray family will be adding a new baby..............
