I'm learning that my plans, although well thought out, are not always going to happen the way I have so carefully orchestrated them to... Infact, something as small as a little blue line can change everything that was set into motion.
Our adoption process has been put on hold until 2011-the year we would've brought home our Korean baby. In all of our planning and training and filling out papers and getting old documents we were very surprised to find out that I was pregnant. And although it's a wonderful and exciting time I couldn't help but feel a tiny bit of dissapointment. I was so prepared for adoption. So prepared for something completely different... The first week was just spent in shock and wonder! How in the world did this happen? (I know how it happened, but when you're extremely careful things like this are incredibly surprising!)
I'm incredibly thankful for this pregnancy. It's a time of learning, of growing, maybe a little bit of worrying... But I'm thankful. This is truly a gift from God and I know His timing is best.
We still look forward to beginning the adoption process again in 2011. We really feel God leading us that direction and, well, this isn't a road block or a set back, just God saying that He has something else in store right now.
I'm due June 10th, so this will be a summer baby. Elliotte is excited; Lane has no clue what's going on and I'm sure he will not be all too happy to have a little sibling... lol..
Thanks for reading. I can't wait to start this blog up again!
God bless!
