Baby Basics

I love this picture!! This picture provides me with a sense of hope and joy as we prepare for our daughter. We attended a parenting class last week, to learn how to bathe, hold, and dress a baby. My thoughts varied from, "this doll is heavy.......to.... how do people get anything else accomplished in the day?" Everyone tells me, you are never ready to become parents, so we will take the wisdom from others, but we will give it our best efforts.

2 Wounded Hearts Recovering

September has come and gone and waiting continues. Our hearts were not prepared for the devastation of our phone call which is our new reality. One might think that after 4 years of waiting, another 30 days should be a walk in the park. This is far from true, our hearts are filled with excitement, joy, and anticipation, only to receive loss, pain, and heartache. Have you ever been to the airport and was randomly selected for further screening. While you where there, you watched everyone all around you board their planes, but you waited. People were filled with love and laughter, while you waited until someone else determined your clearance. We know we have been cleared for travel, we are just waiting for our phone call to tell us where and when.
