Nothing Yet
Doctor scheduled the induction for Saturday at 9am. Then he changed his mind. S has another appointment Monday. If Baby isn’t here by then they will schedule a time to induce for real. We’re all very tired…if you want to pray, pray for a natural (non-induced) labor…everyone is ready (except, apparently, Baby, who must know… Continue reading Nothing Yet
And We Will Wait…
One of my favorite teacher blogs titles all of her posts with lines from songs. I wish I was that creative… First, someone go show love to Prabha. She and her hubby traveled 8 hours yesterday thinking they would bring home their baby, but instead returned home empty-handed. I think that is every pre-adoptive parent’s… Continue reading And We Will Wait…
Today’s Random Thoughts
Seriously…these are random!! I have the urge to nest: clean & rearrange the kitchen, sterilize the bottles & nipples & pacifiers I’ve gotten, launder all the gender-neutral clothes, spend my gift cards I got at the shower. I also have the adoptive-mommy fears: if I do those things, the adoption will fail, so I may… Continue reading Today’s Random Thoughts

But I hope to change that trend. So…today? Happy baby stuff! First, mega congrats to… Continue reading Happy Baby Stuff!

Thanks, Questions and Musings…
First, I have to say thanks to DINA who posted a comment on my last post. She’s new to my blog, but she left wonderfully helpful info. However, I don’t know what “pink lotion” is that she uses for her son’s hair. And I can’t seem to find a way to track back to her… Continue reading Thanks, Questions and Musings…
It’s ALL I Think About…
The Baby, that is. That’s ALL I think about. I have to meet with my principal tomorrow (simple monthly meeting) and I’m going to have to tell her that I can’t hardly concentrate because all I can think about is Baby and that I’m going to be a mommy in less than 12 weeks. Do… Continue reading It’s ALL I Think About…
Tears and Fears
It’s definitely a boy!!!! I should be writing my message for the chapel service I’m doing at school tomorrow, but instead, here I am on blogger. We got a letter from our lawyer today. Actually, the letter is from S, sent to us via the lawyer. Enclosed were ultra.sound pi.ctures. I am crying massive tears… Continue reading Tears and Fears
