I shocked that I'm going to have a baby in 106 days, if she goes to her due date! This path has seemed long and unending & it leaves you disillusioned and some say pessimistic. I (and those who've lost, or struggled with IF) will say we're cautious and sometimes we just can't believe it's finally happening for us!
For those of you who are now pregnant, or awaiting your adopted child, who by the way is fully yours, you just were blessed with a special delivery agent, I say I know your trepidation, I echo your broken scared hearts, but I pray we all throw caution to the wind and BELIEVE we too are going to get our happy endings.
I'm trying that now! I've started looking for furniture for Cala and picking everything from pack-n-plays to bouncy seats to diaper bags!!!! I'm enjoying it, but I'll say Baby Mama helps! She texted today and said 'i'm excited for you to be a mommy'! That's a plus! Adoption can be amazing!!!
I had a friend message me today and she said something that I found profound about adoption. She said she's watched so many special friends suffer through infertility while she's watched such undeserving peolple have children over and over, but that maybe our infertility was God's way of getting certain very special babies to these very special families, that maybe otherwisewe wouldn't have considered it at all! True true Dr. Gardner, thanks for the insight!
God is good all the time. All the time God is good! (Though some days it's way harder to see til you're way on the other side!!)
Babydust and love to you all!!

God is good all the time, even when it hurts:)
ReplyDeleteHow exciting...shopping for baby stuff!
ReplyDeleteCheck out my blog...there's something for you over there. :)
Hi Honey :)
ReplyDeleteGlad you are doing all that shopping and keep parking in that VIP spot!
I found myself looking in the mirror the other day and wondering why God took my child? Then, I wondered why children are abandonded and not wanted? Profoundly, I think I answered my own question. An A, ha moment :)
Remember this, Baby Mama "picked" you and Sean to be Cala's Mommy and Daddy. To love her, to care for her, to protect her and "train her in the way which she shall go". And, she could not have hand crafted better parents. I'm overjoyed for you! Just happy :)
Mwah!

Deni, you are one in a million! I want to say thanks for this post, for a couple of reasons. First, thanks for this paragraph:

Thank you for that encouragement!
Second, thanks for your amazing spirit. It always warms my heart to hear people in the midst of trial and hardship say that God is good! It is a saying (albeit a fact) that is mostly attached to GOOD NEWS, but it packs an even bigger punch when it comes from a heart that is trusting Him in the midst of struggle.
Thanks for being such an encourager! Much love to you!!
