Getting There!
In March of this year, I finished a total of 77 progesterone shots. Sometimes they burned and hurt, and at other times they didn't. But it felt like they would never end. Now as of yesterday, there were only 77 days left before the baby arrives. Day to day activity might seem to move slow, but when you look back on chunks of time, it really does go fast. Looking forward to meeting little baby Roman or Zoe....

We Finally Decided on a Girl's Name
Let me start by saying, we do not know if it is a girl or a boy.
We decided on our boy's name several months ago: Roman Ean after Romans chapters 8 and 9. The debate with the girl's name was if we would stick with the theme we have going (Hope and Grace) and add a Faith or Joy or veer from that with something else.
A week or two ago, a name popped into my head which I thought would fit perfectly. I threw it out to Ken and he agreed immediately. As many of you know, we love the symbolism that names can hold, so the name we have chosen is Zoe. It is of Greek origin and means "life." How perfect to be able to sum up in one word the story of this baby's life. Frozen for 10 years, through God's sovereign hand, this baby will be entering the world on October 4, 2010. My hope is that if it is a girl, her life and story will be reminder to us and to those that know her that we were once dead in our sins and it is only by God's revelation to us that we were brought to life through Christ. Not only were our sins forgiven, but we were also credited with Christ's righteousness. God sees us as righteous and has adopted us as co-heirs with Christ! How can we grasp the enormity of what was done on our behalf?
All I can say is God is good and I have been given way more than I deserve.
