I am sitting here in the aftermath of a wonderful family Christmas! I enjoyed all the time spent with family and the many gifts received. The best gift I have ever received was the gift of a savior!! The second best gift was my hubby, and a future gift will be my baby.
Life has been amazing the past 9 months. We are not physically pregnate, but paper pregnate. We are still waiting on our baby to be born. Our birthmom is still looking and planning on giving the baby up. So within a month we very easily could be parents to a little girl!
Our mom has been up and down. She has been all over the scale as to what she wants to do with this little one. She has finally told her boyfriend about the adoption and all the plans she is working on. She told him that she didn't feel they were ready to have a baby and when they were, God would provide another one for them.
We are excited, but also cautious. I don't want to get to the hospital and the mom completely change her mind. I am ready to bring a baby home. I am getting ready to work on the nursery and get everything put together, cleaned up and ready to go for when the baby does come.
We were given a couple baby gifts for Christmas from family members who are just as excited about everything as we are.
God is amazing and we are so happy to be a part of his wonderful family!!!

New Info
Wow...it has been a while since I have written. So much has happened. We have meet with our birthmom 2 more times, one visit went well, the other not so good.
Our mom is very back and forth as to what she wants to do. She told us that 90% of the time she wants to give up the baby, but there are still many times when she wants to keep it. We really don't know what will happen. This is a very high risk adoption.
I am really tired of just waiting for someone else to make a decision that will affect my life forever. I don't know how many times I can do this.
One reason the mom is wanting to keep the baby now, is that she heard from her boyfriend who was asking about the baby, he also told her he got a job. She is very emotional and was crying a lot today while she was meeting with the social worker. The mom was actually referred to a counselor because she was so emotional.
The mom said that she doesn't want to hurt us, and she really likes us. I hope she understand that we will be hurt if we don't get the baby, but we know that God will provide when the time is right.
