Because Tuesday, November 10th, our lives changed forever.
Let's backtrack to Monday November 9th. I was in the midst of my injectible cycle, ready to try some acupuncture. Bring it on. However, my mood was getting lower and lower as the day went on. I had to shop for a baby shower gift for a friend. I cried the whole time I was in the baby store. It had been enough. I had reached a new level of sad. Life was bad.
Tuesday, Nov 10th. Unexpected text from my husband. "Call me back, NOW." That was the text. Nothing more. I called him right back, and the next thing he said has changed our lives forever.....
"I got a phone call, and there is an email that there is a young woman that is looking to place her yet to be born baby for adoption. Are we interested?"
Ummm, yeah. No second thoughts. Seriously? Seriously?!?!?!
Long story short, the whole week was a crazy series of events that ended up in the birth mom picking us. Someday, I will post the whole story, because all of it is amazing. Truly amazing. And totally all God.
So. I'm going to be a mom in about 2 weeks! She's 37 and 6 days today. We've met the birth mom. We've been scrambling to prepare for a baby for the last 2 months. It's been the shortest pregnancy ever!
I am the happiest and the most excited that I have ever been. We are full of anticipation and expectation. Life is good.
Oh, and completing a homestudy in less than one month? We are rock stars. That's all I'm going to say.
I hope to post more often now. Maybe. Obviously, the tone of this blog is different, but I hope some continue to read, because this is a beautiful story.
And we're not pregnant. I could care less. =)
And we're having a girl!!

We also were "offered" a baby girl who was two months old last year. She was from another country though and we are not citizens yet, so we could not adopt her and there was no way around this law :(
But i totally get your excitement to get the news from your husband, the immediate change of plans to arrange for the arrival of your child! congrats!
