the latest

Ok so today was my last day at St Vincent!!  I am sad because I will miss everyone and I will miss my job, but hopefully I will be home with a sweet baby girl in 3 weeks!!  It is almost time!!  We are ready and waiting for the call.  The birthmom is leaving for Florida tomorrow morning, and will be 37weeks monday!  We are scared to death she will have the baby while there or on the way there.  But there is nothing we can do, we just have to pray she doesnt have her until she gets back next weekend.  We appreciate all the prayers and just ask that everyone continue to pray! 

baby 4D ultrasound

She loves her hands!  We had to work very hard to get pics of her face bc her hands were in the way!  She has super chubby cheeks!!  She weighs almost 6lbs and is very long!  We had a great time and can't wait to see her in a month!!  Still praying all goes well!!

Latest news

So last week I went shopping with Haley, the birthmom.  We had a good time, we bought some cute clothes for the baby!:)  She is very sweet!  The baby was kicking and she told me to feel, she pushed at her belly and said "kick for your momma!"  Thought that was sweet, she always refers to us as the babies parents.  Then the next day I went to the doctor with her.  Got to meet the Doctor and hear the babies heartbeat!  Tomorrow Peyton and I are going with her for a 4D ultrasound!  I will post the ultrasound pictures soon.  She is due in 4 1/2 weeks!!  Crazy soon!lol  We are super excited and cant wait to be parents!  Some people kill me with their facebooks or blogs or text, complaining about no sleep, their kids driving them crazy, etc!  I will be happy to get up in the middle of the night and feed and change that sweet baby girl, as many times as she needs me to!  Some people don't realize how blessed they are to have a child in the first place!  Anyway, I will try to keep everyone updated on here.  Also i have created a blog for me and haley, so we can talk without using facebook, she wrote how honored she was to give us her baby and she knows we will raise her right.  We just hope she feels that way after the baby is born, and doesn't change her mind!  Just have to trust God!!  They are coming next week to do our homestudy and friday the 16th is my last day at St Vincent!!  I am so ready to be a stay at home mom!!  Thanks everyone for the prayers!  Please continue to pray for us, haley, the agency, and of course the baby girl!!! 

God Is Great!!!

So this afternoon we got a call from the adoption agency and they said we have been matched!!  We are super excited, but scared to death at the same time!  The girl is due August 9th and it's a girl!  We just have to trust God to make things happen.  The girl will have five days to change her mind once the baby is born, so we have to pray God gives her a peace the minute she hands the baby over to us, and she knows she is doing the right thing!  Please continue to pray for us and the girl Haley and the baby! We will keep everyone update as we find out more.  Check here because we probably won't put anything on facebook!

ADOPTION

Ok so the last month has been crazy!  We decided to adopt a baby!  If you know us, you know we researched every adoption route and prayed hard!  After a lot of meetings with agencies and discussing all our options we finally decided to go with ABBA Adoption Agency.  They are located in Benton.  After meeting with the owner on May 6th, we just had a great feeling that they were the ones we should go with.  Two weeks later, i am proud to say we have a possible match!!  It has been a lot of work getting everything together, but we are working quick.  We will meet the birthmom next Thursday!  I am SO nervous!!  We don't know much about her but we are learning more everyday by talking with the agency.  Please pray everything goes great next Thursday and that we get this baby in August!!  I will try to keep everyone updated on here, i dont want to put much on facebook.  If anyone has any questions or wants an update, either call me, message me on facebook, or email me @ ashleynicholeharvey@yahoo.com  All we can do is pray that God works in this situation and we get the baby we are supposed to raise as our own!  The girl can change her mind up to 10days after the baby is born, so even if we get matched and take the baby home, she can change her mind at any time!  We need lots of prayer about this!  Thank you all!!

Happy Mother's Day

Tomorrow will be a very hard day, but I know God will help us get through it!  Happy Mother's Day to every mom whether your baby is here or in heaven, you are still a mom!  Here's a sweet poem I found:


I thought of you and closed my eyes
And prayed to God today
I asked “What makes a Mother?”
And I know I heard Him say.

“A Mother has a baby”
This we know is true
“But God can you be a Mother,
When your baby’s not with you?”

“Yes, you can,” He replied
With confidence in His voice
“I give many women babies,
When they leave is not their choice.

Some I send for a lifetime,
And others for the day.
And some I send to feel your womb,
But there’s no need to stay.”

“I just don’t understand this God
I want my baby to be here.”
He took a deep breath and cleared His throat,
And then I saw the tear.

“I wish I could show you,
What your child is doing today.
If you could see your child’s smile,
With all the other children and say…

‘We go to Earth to learn our lessons,
Of love and life and fear.
My Mommy loved me oh so much,
I got to come strait here.

I feel so lucky to have a Mom,
Who had so much love for me.
I learned my lessons very quickly,
My Mommy set me free.

I miss my Mommy oh so much,
But I visit her every day.
When she goes to sleep,
On her pillow’s where I lay

I stroke her hair and kiss her cheek,
And whisper in her ear.
Mommy don’t be sad today,
I’m your baby and I’m here.’

“So you see my dear sweet ones,
Your children are okay.
Your babies are born here in My home,
And this is where they’ll stay.

They’ll wait for you with Me,
Until your lesson’s through.
And on the day that you come home
they’ll be at the gates for you.

So now you see what makes a Mother,
It’s the feeling in your heart
it’s the love you had so much of
Right from the very start

Though some on earth may not realize,
You are a Mother.
Until their time is done.
They’ll be up here with Me one day
And know that you are the best one!”

ROXIE

Roxie is now 12wks old! She is growing so fast! She is so fun to watch, she is a little goofy, though. Peyton says she is a special needs dog!lol She barks at the water in her pool and chases her own tail, but she's just a typical puppy! We love her! I love that i can walk out the back door thirty times and everytime she acts just as excited to see me!
