Adoption Update

I wanted to give y'all a quick update on what's been going on with the adoption!

We have met twice with the birthmother and once with the birthfather.

Her doctor had her on bed rest because she thought she was going to be early. Since we thought the baby was going to be here already, our friends and family threw us a Welcome Home party which turned into more of a baby themed party. It was awesome!

We fixed up her room, it's so pretty! We painted and assembled furniture...okay Nick mostly painted and assembled furniture. I helped move it in the room and wiped it off. I am not so handy and he really is so it works out.

So we've met the birth mother and father. Had her party, to which she no-showed (DI-VAAAH) Prepared her adorable room with purples and dark wood. All we need is...

A BABY!

Today is Stella's official due date and according to my cell phone log she is not here yet! Thinking that she would be here already and not having her here has been difficult for me. Every time my phone lights up or makes a noise I think, "this is it!". It is not it. I think about her almost every waking minute. And almost every sleeping minute. I am not God so I don't know when she will be here. I wish I did. I hate not knowing. All I do know is that she will be here when God delivers her; regardless of what the doctor says, or what the calendar says, or what I say! I do know that this...this right here...this wait...this is in God's wonderful plan and I don't need to fret about it.

We are very anxious to meet her and just waiting for the call and we know everyone else is waiting for our call. We are so appreciative of everyone's support and we love the excitement and will gladly fuel that fire with more information as soon as we have news to pass on! As of right now, we don't have any pertinent news to share but when we do it will be that we have a baby! So look out for our text, call or Facebook updates!

Here's to hoping the next post includes pictures of the five of us! (Lola and Faye...hello!!)
