In exactly 2 weeks from today Sawyer is going to be here !These past 3 months have flown by. It kinda scares me how fast time is going because i know that time is going to continue to fly when Sawyer gets here. I want to savor every moment with him and Shaileen. Yesterday we got off work a few minutes early and were able to go to "j's" Dr. Appointment and She and Baby are doing well. Like I say on all of these heartbeat posts, It is the best sound in the world. (until he gets here at least :) ) We are so thankful to J and her kindness for allowing us the opportunity to go to these Dr. appointments. I dont think there are too many adoptive couples that get this opportunity. She is such a strong person and we love her very much.
I have been slacking since Saturday with tons going on and have not posted the photos or blog from Shaileens baby shower. Keep an eye out for that one, and many more to come!
Without further to do here is the video of the heartbeat.

Sawyers Heartbeat #3
I am sitting here at work an Shaileen sent me a video of Sawyers heartbeat from today's dr appointment! It is so neat to hear that he is actually there. We are getting so excited that it is coming so soon but yet still so far away! I am so thankful to have Shaileen as my beautiful wife. She makes me want to be a better person each and every day. I can't wait for her to be a mother. She has been waiting so long and so patiently. Sawyer is going to be so freaking lucky to have not only Shaileen but J to look up to as a loving birth mother. Se is so strong and we both love and appreciate her very much! Anyways, on to why you pulled up the blog! Here is the video of his heartbeat!
Look how close it is getting! :)

His heartbeat
This afternoon was absolutely incredible! We had one amazing experience. J asked us to come to her doctors appointment. We are so thankful for her kindness and thoughtfulness to ask us to come. We adore her Shaileen at the last moment pulled out her phone and recorded the sound of his heartbeat!
WE HAVE BEEN CHOSEN!
This past week has been one of the most amazing weeks of our lives. As you may have heard we were chosen by one amazing lady to be parents. We were initially not looking forward to this weekend with it being Mothers Day and having a failed placement recently. It was such a special experience to spend Mothers Day with Shaileen and to be able to tell our family that they were going to have another/first BOY come into the family. I decided after we had contact with her that I wanted to write down my feelings and how the story really went. So here it goes. (I have changed her name to "J" just for her privacy)
"About 1 week ago we decided to put Shaileen's wedding dress up for sale on KSL.Com classifieds. It was not doing us any good sitting in a closet in our basement collecting dust. We didn't think we would get a call anytime soon because we listed it really high because we were not in a hurry. On Cinco de Mayo in 2012 we were getting all dressed up in our fancy clothes to go to one of my good friends sealing/marriage in the Oquirrh Mountain Temple and my phone started ringing and it was a phone number that I was not familiar with. I answered and a female on the other end asked if this was Kurt. I said it was and then she asked how to pronounce Shaileen's name. I was sure she was going to ask for Shaileen to ask her about specifics about the wedding dress. The next thing that came out of her mouth really surprised me. She said,"I am 6 months pregnant with a little boy." I thought to myself for a moment what the heck that had to do with a wedding dress. She then went on to tell us that someone that she knew gave her our pass-a-long card. She has been looking at our profile and really likes us and wants to possibly meet us in the near future. We then talked for about 15-20 minutes about some specifics about adoption. It is incredible how much her mind was made up that she was going to place her boy for adoption because she knows that is what is going to best for him. We are so excited to meet her and talk to her again hopefully in the near future. After the call we rushed to the temple to make it to the sealing of my friend. It was a little more special than usual sitting in the temple because I was not only contemplating our friends ceremony but I was thinking of the joy we are going to have as a family when it comes time to be sealed to our child for all eternity. The rest of the day we were sitting on cloud 9 thinking, hoping, praying, and thanking our Heavenly Father for answering our many many prayers that we gave and other close family and friends as well. "
On Saturday afternoon we met with J. We were sooooo nervous/excited to meet her. We hit it off real fast and ended up talking for over 3 hours while we enjoyed some great food at Red Robin. We have such a respect for J and cant wait for our relationship to grow even more.
Today we are getting off work 2 hours early to go to the hospital with J. It is her 28 week checkup. We are so excited to hear his heartbeat and be there to experience that. I don't believe many adoptive parents get that opportunity and when she asked us if we would like to go with her we were first shocked, but then very excited and thankful.
As you know we will certainly keep you updated on the process of this adoption. We thank you all very much for your continued support. You have no idea what that means to us to know that people really care.
