As some of you gals out there know, hubby and I have being trying for quite a few years to have a baby......Well...God has answered our prayers!!!
Our minister called us awhile ago and said that she knew of a gal that was pregnant and couldn't keep the baby. She (our minsiter) knew of our desire to have a child so she thought of us.
the baby is due in September and it is a boy.
We are over the moon excited!!
I couldn't wait to share this all with all of you.

That's a beautiful name, Melanie! Lots of choices for nicknames, or he might end up being "James" which is pretty cool, too. You'll have to practice saying James, James, James, Harry, JH, JH, etc. OK, maybe not in public right now, but you know what I mean. Congratulations on your exciting news; praying it all works out for you.

okay....i think we have decided on a name....
James Harrison.
This was my husbands grandfathers name. He went by Harrison, or some called him JH..."hey...JH!" kinda has a ring to it...I think that Harry is cute too!

Melanie, You will love the child. I have two adopted children along with 3 natural children. I can honestly say I love them all the same. Grown in your heart or in your womb you always love your children. Sometimes when their naughty you might think differently. Then they give you their special smile you fall right back into love with them. Enjoy this exciting time.

Melanie- You will love the baby, don't fret too much about that! Your maternal instinct will kick in the second you hold him in your arms. Your brain knows he will be yours and that will be enough for your instincts. I will be sending good thoughts your way!

I'm starting to get a wee bit nervous....about a couple of things....what if I don't love this baby? and what if she changes her mind? I just keep praying and trying to have faith that the best will be. It is still hard.

Happy, Happy Day Melanie! So glad you will be getting a baby soon! And you know what? Many couples who've tried for YEARS to have a baby of their own, and CAN'T for some reason, usually DO end up having a biological child of their own after adopting!
So... you better pick out more than ONE name! 'Cause.. remember what happened to Sarah? and she was an OLD woman! But God didn't forget her and he gave her a child of her own when she least expected one. He just might do the same for YOU!
Oh, there are soooo many names to choose from! I remember when I was expecting my first son (I have 3 boys, but I only named the FIRST one-- hubby named the other 2) Everyone said I was having a girl, but I knew-- in my heart of hearts-- that my baby was a BOY! I named him "Daques Michael." (pronounced "DAX." "Michael" is my husband's middle name) I wanted my son to have a DIFFERENT name than all the other little boys out there... and he SURE did! I got a phone call his first day at Kindergarten and it was the teacher asking how to pronounce his name. He was the only kid in the school ever to be called "Mr...." until she knew how to say it correctly. It was VERY funny! Hugs and blessings to you and your husband ~~ Tracy

oh my favourite farmgal friends....I am sitting here reading all of your posts crying my eyes out. I can't believe how totally blessed I am. I have a great husband and now i have great friends. All of you!
I was speaking to my minister today and she said that we shouldn't be telling anyone yet "just in case" as she doesn't want us to be disapointed if it doesn't happen. Well, I have faith....I have faith that God has a plan for us and whatever that plan is, I will accept it. For now, I want to enjoy being excited for the possibility of having a little baby boy to love.
Sharon (sleepless reader) I LOVE what you said about a "baby growing in your hearts" that is what started me crying (good tears of course!!)
Tina, I would love to know the translations of those names please.
Thanks all of you....you don't even know how much your words mean to me.

Melanie. I am so very happy for you and your husband. This is a dream come true for you. You will make such wonderful parents I am sure of that. Isn't life wonderful the way these marvelous things just pop up unexpected? What joy you must have in your hearts. God has blessed you and your baby son to be. Much happiness to all of you.

If our girl had been a boy, he would have been either Matthew Stewart or Adam Forest. Forest was my daddy's name. I would still use those today. And we chose them 30 years ago. I know you will find one that just seems right.

Congrats to you and your hubby!!!! I am so happy for you and will be praying that all goes well! Since you love Anne so much and we all had fun with your generous drawings maybe you could revisit her books and see if any male names pop out of there that you both like? You could name him Prince Edward! Tee Hee! He will be a prince with you as parents! There is nothing better than seeing people you care about so happy...it warms my heart! Keep us all informed! I have several grandsons...Chandler Gage, Samuel Whitney, and the newest born July 6th is Uriah Benjamin! There's few names for starters just to get the ball rolling...you'll come up with a great name and after they are born you won't be able to imagine them being named anything else. Love ya!

Congratulations, Melanie!!! You have a baby growing in your heart!!! My son's name is Adam. We chose it because it's simple and short (we have a longer last name) and he is our "first man" afterall... My husband and I had both worked with kids for years, so picking a name was tough. We both had specific memories to certain names, not always good ones either. Our daughter is adopted and came with a name. Eventhough she was just a month old, we didn't feel we could take it from her. Her name is Amanda. I always said I'd never name my kids with the same first letter, but fate did it for us. Congratulations again and have a wonderful time of preparation; you'll be in my prayers.

I like Noah, Levi and Andrew...and my two "homemade boys" (the only ones I got to pick names for are Corey and Casey. I love my adopted boy's names too. (I got very lucky with adopting all these kids and being lucky to get great names!!) Justin, Travis and Dalton. We did change their middle names at adoption time.
I have always like my dad's name Dean. (it was actually his middle name but he always went by that..and my Casey has that for his middle name too)
I like that name Garrett too.
