While our foster baby Ethan was still living in our home, we found out through a home pregnancy test, or rather, 6 home pregnancy tests, that we were going to have a biological baby Buchanan! We found out at the beginning of November, and by Thanksgiving, had to say goodbye to Ethan so he could go live with his biological extended family that wanted to keep him. It was an emotional month for sure. Little did we know that we were just easing in to the feeling of juggling loss and hope at the same time.
The fun part came on Thanksgiving. I had shopped around for an OB that could get me in for an ultrasound early enough to have the results by the holiday. We were able to tell Kevin’s immediate family in Bakersfield on Thanksgiving, and my immediate family (minus brother and his family who live in Minnesota so they got told early via Skype and were sworn to secrecy) the day after Thanksgiving.
