Schwinkle Status

Apparently, there is one... A schwinkle, I mean. So, Sam is a boy. Or so we're told. I still have doubts now, and I guess I'll believe it when I see it. I saw the medical report with my own two eyes and it repeatedly said *girl,* but our agency lady emailed this morning and said she verified that he is a boy. Alrighty, then... I'm taking all the boy clothes I bought, so even if he is a she, she'll look like a he until we get home. Thank God I don't have to squeeze in another shopping trip to exchange all this stuff for girly things.

His name is going to be Samuel Robert. Samuel after I Samuel 1:27, and Robert after my dad. My dad's nickname was "Big Bobber," even though he wasn't big at all... He was a total shrimp. Anyway, I can already hear us referring to Sam as Little Bobber. My dad would have loved that.

Still no word on a court date or when we'll travel. I'm going nuts.

I've been wondering when you would find out! Thanks for the schwinkle update. Now I can move on and not have to think about schwinkles for the rest of the day (or at least until I get home and have to take Noah to the potty or change Colin's diaper).

Unless he is a she and doesn't, in fact, have a bobber at all. Just please promise me you won't call him Little Boober if he is, in fact, a she. Okay? LOL!
Glad you got some confirmation from your agency.

Was the "I'm going nuts" and intended pun for this post or not?:) Glad to hear you got the news. Surely if someone verified, then he is in fact, a he. Can't wait to hear when you travel.

Hahahaha! Totally unintended! You people are nasty... Gosh, I like that.

Well, you already had our minds thinking about that general area, so I wasn't sure!
I wanted to say I like the new header. It's really cute and goes with RMI. Plus, it's got a cliff hanger with that covered picture. You'll have it showing soon!
