We're Expecting!

We'll folks, it's official - 


If everything goes as planned, a special someone will be born December 19th.
We have narrowed down our shortlist of names and I have one in particular I'm rooting for.

The best part of this pregnancy?  No stretching, weight gain, random food cravings or morning sickness here - (okay, well random food cravings are actually part of my everyday existance) - but the absence of all other symptoms is due to the fact that someone else is doing all the baby making for us -


Four little paws will be scratching up our hardwood floors in no time, and I coudn't be more excited.  

A few fun facts about our puppy process :
  • We will have been waiting for 6 months before we get to take our little guy/gal home.  It has felt SO long and we still have a few months to go.  Our new arrival will come home with us in February if everything goes as planned.  I can't imagine 9/10 months of an actual pregnancy.
  • It will cost us almost 4 times more money to get puppy, than it would be to have a baby.  I know over time, things will swing the other way, but I find it pretty amusing.  (I'm comparing the hospital delivery costs after insurance, to our adoption fee.)  Crazy right?
