We have come to realize that we need to start preparing for the baby. I know this sounds so crazy since that's all we have been thinking and talking about. But when it came down to it, we weren't physically ready for the baby. We didn't have a car seat, or diapers, or a diaper bag, or bottles. Ya know, the basic things you need for a baby :). So we have started getting things ready for baby on a more basic level.
Some sweet friends of ours gave us a car seat and I was so excited I decided to put it in the car, just so I could see it! Except that, it didn't fit with the other two car seats. We couldn't get all three in and shut the doors! Seriously?! So after I freaked out a bit about the possibility of having to trade my car in (I love my car!), we decided to try out my nephew's car seat because it was a different brand. It worked!! So we decided buying a new car seat would be a better financial decision than buying a new car ;). Call me crazy, but I love infant car seats! I have been so giddy happy every time I see that sweet thing sitting in my living room!!
We have also started buying a pack of diapers every time we go to the store. It's something we did throughout my pregnancies with our first two and was really helpful! And I must admit, those itty bitty diapers make me giddy too! They are so tiny and I just can't help but think of the sweet little body that will fill them!!
At this point, we do have another birth mom looking at our family book. We won't know if she is interested in meeting us or not for a couple of weeks.
I feel that even if this woman doesn't pick us, it's ok. God, in His sovereignty, has a plan. I am so excited for His plan! I am also excited because we have been given the unique blessing of knowing about specific women who are in a time of crisis and having the opportunity to lift them, and their baby, before The Lord! How amazing is that?!
Thank you for your continued prayers and support. We are so appreciative for them.
