I'M GONNA BE A MAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I keep saying it over and over, I'm gonna be a mama, hoping it will sink in soon. A birth mother looked at our profile on Wednesday, and she picked us! From the very beginning, I have wanted to be able to see God's hand in putting us with the child we are to adopt. Well, my prayers are being answered in a BIG way. Connie, the lady with the agency, said she wished I would have told her that so she could have been prepared. There is no doubt that God has picked this child for us, and us for him. Oh, and by the way, this IS the sign from God not to go with that other agency. I found out about this on Tuesday morning, and I had planned to mail our application to that other agency Tuesday afternoon. Boy, talk about slapping me in the face with an answer. Wow! I will post more about how God is working in this later because I want to be able to tell our church family before I go into too much detail. The news right now is that we will be getting a baby BOY, and he will be born in December. That is the BEST Christmas present I'll ever receive. God knows my desire to be as involved as possible with this child, and the birth mother has already said she would like for me to go to the rest of her Dr. appointments, and guess what???????? I GET TO BE IN THE DELIVERY ROOM!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so overjoyed. I get to see our baby born. We will meet the birth mother this Saturday, so please be praying for us. I know this is going to be a very emotional time for all of us. I can't wait to see her belly and know that is my son in there. I will post more after we tell our church on Sunday.

I am FILLED with JOY because I know this has been a long wait for you. And come December, this wait will have been completely worth what you will receive. Praise God for how he works and speaks to us. So happy for you and your husband. Congratulations!

How exciting! I don't know how long you've waited but I'm so happy to hear God is blessing you this way. I hope you enjoy the last two months of this part of the journey... Then the real journey begins!
