There's currently only one pregnant woman in church. The woman who we thought was pregnant, is! Her baby boy is due in early October. So now there is another baby boy due to be born into the church family. The last girl born into the church was born a year ago in May. Because of this, plus the shortage of boys in the extended family, it would be nice to have a boy. However, I also like the idea of having a girl since I already have girl stuff and wouldn't have to buy much. Plus since I have a girl, it just seems like it would be easier. So when people ask me what I want, I tell them them either one, because it really doesn't matter.

Last week our social worker told me that they are currently working with a couple of women with babies due this summer. She said that the counselors have been having touble staying in contact with them, and that sometimes they reappear by calling from the hospital.

Today I got a call about one of the women with a baby due the first week August - however the doctor thinks she may go early. There are some issues that could be cause for concern, so they are checking with all the waiting families to see who may want to show their profiles. After getting all the information, I'm not really sure myself. Right now I'm leaning for a yes, but I need to do a little research first on how the "concerns" might affect the baby. We don't need to rush our decision because she won't be choosing a family for at least another couple weeks. So for this baby, I don't feel the need to tell anyone for a while. Only you, my diary readers get the scoop. You just don't get to know the gender. That is my special secret ;)

Late July or early August would be a perfect time for a baby, so I really want to go for it and hope that it all works out. We'll see what hubby says. Time to go do some research.
