So, we are just over one month into our 'wait', and already, we've experienced the HIGHS :) and the lows :( And honestly, we wouldn't trade any of it for the world. We know this is part of the journey. And really, isn't that what it's all about?
After all that Mike and I have been through these past couple of years, we can handle a little disappointment when things don't go [exactly] as we hope. In our true fashion, we have handled the disappointments with light-hearted humor. I thank God every day that I am married to a man who can find a reason to laugh in light of whatever he is faced with. Yes, we had our hopes up, but were cautiously optimistic - we knew it was probably too good to be true when we had two - yes, two! - expecting birthmothers view our profile in just the first month! Unfortunately, they both decided on other couples to parent their children, but that's ok - that means it's not our time, yet. What this has done for us, though, is allowed us to get excited. And for that, I am thankful! While we struggled with infertility, there was never excitement - only stress and frustration. Now - we know we have something to look forward to! We don't know WHEN we'll have a new addition to the family, but we know we will, someday.
Mike has actually been finishing off our bonus room over the garage, which will make room for me to move my junk out of the bedroom that will one day be our baby's nursery. It's fun to see the progress! Anyone that knows me, knows that I love to decorate - so I'm looking forward to two new rooms to make-over. In fact, I've already been working on an idea I've had for the nursery, since we moved into our home almost 6 years ago! I will unveil the work-in-progress soon - I still have some details to touch up. In fact, Mike is ready to lend a helping hand right now, so I'm going to take advantage of that!
