I read this on my cousin's myspace today and felt it was so appropriate for my current situation:
"Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember that what you have now was once among the things you hoped for.""
I'm so happy to finally be pregnant. It's taken us so long to get here. And yet, with all of my excitement is an incessant fear- that something, will go wrong and we'll be right back where we started. How selfish.
The Lord has blessed me with the answer to so many prayers. For now, I must have faith and be thankful for the place I'm in at this very second rather than thinking - I'll be happy when the baby is safe and born.
Happy pregnancy - here I come.

Mysterious Ways
Everyone says the Lord works in mysterious ways. Well, now I believe it.
Sorry I haven't posted in a while. We've been 'on hold' with so many things in our life and I didn't know what to say.
Here it is.
The best and biggest news of all... is, I'm pregnant. Completely shocked and overjoyed. I can't help but think that at least for me and my husband this is what the Lord had planned for us all along. We learned and grew so much through our adoption struggles and I wouldn't be so thankful had we not spent a year in the 'valley'. I'm still a little nervous and praying everything continues to go well, but so far, so good.
I am also very thankful that we have begun the process of adoption. I have a deep desire to build our family through adoption and am so excited to see how the Lord will direct us in these next few months. We are still waiting to see if our agency can get us through the Embassy in DC but we may have to wait a few months to submit our dossier anyway so I can be confident the baby will be born before we travel. We may consider switching to another country as well and I'm using this time to research all options now that we won't be able to travel anywhere until next summer.
We are so excited and have so much to look forward to. For all of the families in line for Kazakhstan - I continue to pray things move for you and the children.
The Lord is good.
