10 Months!!!

Today marks 10 months of waiting for our little one. I cannot believe it has been that long, I mean I can believe it, but I can't believe it actually has taken this long. When we first started the process I remember seeing people count their wait in weeks, so here we are at something like week 40! Crazy.

Anyways, Kevin and I have been praying about it and we have decided to change our gender preference for a girl to no preference. This is something that Kevin has wanted to do for a while and it has taken me a little longer to get on board, I mean last month I bought adorable baby girl bedding. But I have taken some time to pray and think about why I wanted a girl in the first place, and I have come to the conclusion that I felt a little pressure. I felt pressure because I am a girl I should want a daughter, and not that I don't want a daughter, but I don't think I have ever wanted a daughter more then I wanted a son. In fact when I was pregnant I always wanted boys. So I have decided that I am excited for whatever God has for us, and if I am supposed to be a mom to all boys, that is fine with me. So we are excited to see who God has for our family!

Adopting Friends Journal

This little journal has been such a blessing to me this week. This is the journal that some girls from my agency are passing around, sharing words of encouragement, pictures of their newly referred children, and anything else we may feel like sharing. It was fun to see it and get to see the two sweet boys that are being picked up this week, to see the pictures of kids that are home and to hear about their adjustments home. It is just nice to feel a little connection to the world of adoption and to see proof that children are coming home to families.

I do have to apologize to the girls though, my entry is a tad on the depressing, possible pessimistic side, sorry. It is so nice to be able to vent a little and know that it will be understood. Love you girls, and I can't wait for more referrals!!!
