We went out for dinner at Texas Roadhouse and bought a Curious George book and stuffed animal for the nursery (not that our nursery needs another stuffed animal, lol, but we couldn't help ourselves). We have also had fun sharing the good news with family and friends. We are just so excited!!! We are expecting through adoption...we just don't know when our baby will arrive. Our desire to have our baby home is so strong, sometimes it feels like we could burst. It's great to have that anticipation and excitement back.
It feels good...it feels new, like a fresh start. I am happy to feel hopeful again. It's nice to be able to begin again with new energy, renewed hope and fresh excitement. It reminds me of the verse in the Bible that talks about God's mercies being new every morning. It is so easy to get weary with the waiting and to be dragged down by life's circumstances... But we don't have to stay there. We can have a fresh start!!!
Now we wait for that all important phone call, or email:)
