Baby, Baby, Babyyyy

We had our *big* ultrasound last week. Big as in we COULD have found out if Baby Thompson is a little girl or a little boy. However, we stuck to our plan and made it out without finding out. It was tough and if Ryan would have been willing, I probably would have found out. Oh well!! What a wonderful day the delivery will be :)

The Peach

I am always on the hunt for gifts that give back. I love to find anything cute that also helps provide for someone in need! Today I hit the jackpot! I was over on Danielle Burkleo's blog and she was highlighting a great adoption story!

 I have already bought a necklace...you should too!!


"Hello! I'm Carina and I blog over at a punk, a pumpkin and a peanut.
I am mama to three little rascals, lover of vintage and coffee and chocolate, among other things.


For the last year, my husband and I have been waiting to adopt our fourth baby.
We have two biological boys, and one adopted, and feel so excited to be adding to the sweet chaos that is our every day.
Two weeks ago we got the call that we'd been chosen to adopt a baby girl due this August.

And we are over the moon.

We know that God is already writing our love story with this little peach

and His hand is so evident in the details.

You can read more about all of that here.

The reality of adoption is that it takes a serious chunk of change to make it happen.

Like $25,000 when all is said and done.

We've saved and saved and had a little pancake breakfast to get the ball rolling,

but we are still well away from that number.

We are not ones to ask for something without offering something in return,

mostly because it makes us feel weird.

I've been making jewelry for my little etsy shop for the last few months and

after a lot of thought, I decided to design a few adoption necklaces to help make up some of the difference.

I am dreaming big here: my goal is to sell 100. My dream is 200.

300 would knock our socks off and put a serious dent in that total."



"Would you consider helping us out?

Spread the word and buy a necklace (or two)...

you'll be helping us bring our baby home, supporting adoption

and you'll even get something pretty in return!

And please come follow along on this super exciting journey -

it's sure to be an adventure!

I sure hope they don't mind that I completely copy & pasted the blog, but she put it perfectly so why try to rewrite it??
