Yep! You read
correctly! After yesterday’s day of
appointments and ultra sound we received the surprise of surprises to learn
that the baby we had been chosen to parent was a healthy, active baby BOY!
Talk about an unexpected twist!
I’m going to assume that all of you reading this for the
first time have about 1,000,000 questions- as I did when I first heard the news!
Here are a few things we know for sure
·
God is GOOD and he can be trusted (Psalm
37:5).
·
God has always know exactly what baby he would
bring into our family and what it would take to bring us together. (Jeremiah
29:11)
·
God has promised to give us everything we need
to love and care for the baby he has chosen for us. (Philippians
4:19)
· God’s Word is a
lamp unto our feet that illuminates our path- just one step at a time. The
Lord asks us all to move in obedience, one step at a time, sometimes without
carrying the full
burden of knowledge of what is down the path.
·
God has gone to GREAT lengths to bring this baby
boy into our family (including a MISREAD initial ultra sound that afforded L an
opportunity to choose us, a waiting for
Girl family!)
·
This baby BOY will be our 3rd SON!
·
We are EXCITED beyond words to welcome J.E. into the Ferguson family! (side note: we’ve decided not to post his name here on
the public blog as a safety precaution- but we are eager to share it
elsewhere! Here on this blog we will
refer to him as JE going forward J)
Believe me, I KNOW this is a lot to process, especially for
those of you that have been praying alongside us for a “Ruth”! I will leave you to your thoughts and welcome
your questions- any time! Feel free to
email Niles and me at FergusonAdoption@gmail.com.
Here are a few more pictures of my 3rd little
man!

Eek! So very exciting!! Overflowing with excitement for all of you.
Having 3 boys is a blast! You're going to LOVE it!
Oh, Lordy, Lordy! I am picking my jaw up off the floor! This is hilarious and awesome and so cool all at the same time. Man, do I love how God works! And I want you to know that you are SUPER encouraging to me right now. I feel like I'm in a "funk" now that we are just waiting for our homestudy to happen and I feel so distant from when the actual adoption will happen! Did you ever feel that way? Love and prayers your way and I can't help but think you may end up with a Ruth somewhere, because you sure did have lots of prayers for one! haha!
haha...I love how God works. You just never know what he will do next.
