Baby J,
Yesterday marked eleven months since your daddy and I were approved to adopt. I can't believe it has been almost a year! I know I say this all the time, but some days it seems like the days drag by. And other days just fly! I know that the day we meet you, all our days of waiting will be a fleeting memory of time that is well worth it!
I just cannot wait for that day! I can't wait for the day I get to see what your sweet face looks like. I can't wait to dress you in your sweet little clothes just in time for you to spit up all down the front! Ha! I can't wait to change 10-12 diapers a day. I can't wait to stay up at night rocking you back to sleep while I pray over you. I can't wait to share pictures of you with all your prayer warriors who have literally carried us through the last few years of waiting. I can't wait to see you with your grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins. I can't wait for you to meet your great grandparents. I just can't wait.
But I will.
I will wait, because I know that when that day comes...all the other days of waiting will be precious. I try to soak in every waiting day so that I can remember all the blessings we have received through our waiting. The last couple of weeks have kept me up at night. I've been up praying for you, your birthparents, and your little life. I've been up praying for others too. At some point, during all those prayers, I fall back to sleep. I guess when I surrender my thoughts to God, he eases that anxiety and gently rocks me back to sleep. I love that time though. I love my time praying for you! And that, Baby J, will never change. I will never stop praying for you and over your little life. I know God has big plans for you, and He has already used you in so many ways. I will continue to pray for you as you grow. That's what parents do.
Until our day of waiting ends...we will still be ready for you! So come on, Baby J! Grace us with your presence whenever you are ready!
Love,
Mama

Megan, I started following several months back. I found you through my neice's blog "The Wilds". I wanted you to know that when God gives you that precious bundle you will be a wonderful "mommie". I will keep you, Russ and Baby "J" in my daily prayers. Always remember...God is Good!!! Thank you for sharing your story! Ruth
Hi! I looked through lots of your posts a few weeks ago and I've been praying for you. I am doing a Beth Moore study at church (it's her study on the Tabernacle) and she said that every time the Bible talks about childlessness, it is followed by a blessing. She mentioned Sarah, Hannah, Elizabeth, Samson's mother...Anyway, when she said that I thought of you. I hope you and your husband have your sweet baby in your arms soon.
