so we have been officially waiting since last monday afternoon...so about 5 days. this type of waiting is hard. so hard that it makes me wish i had never complained about the other times we were waiting on things...like fingerprints and such!
i think the reason im finding it so hard is because at some point we know that our phone will ring and someone on the other line will tell us all about our baby girl or baby boy....they will let us know if they have already been born or if they are still waiting to be born...they will tell us when to hop in the car and make that 18 hour drive to michigan. BUT WE HAVE NO CLUE WHEN THEY WILL CALL. :)
so every morning the FIRST thought in my head is..."will today be THE day???" and then throughout the day i check my phone and then check it again...blahhh
even though its crazy hard, it is also very exciting and i know that this will be a time in my life that i will always remember. its fun to have something so huge & life changing to anticipate! and i have been praying for God to use this time to teach me patience and to trust that this will all happen in his perfect timing!! and just to be honest this has to be a constant prayer...because my mind really would love for it to happen on MY TIME...but i know that wont happen. there is a reason behind each day that passes that my phone doesnt ring...! (ouch, that was almost hard to type...no just kidding, i really believe that)
so far now we will continue to wait...we are ready for that magical call to come at any time! we have (most) of the essentials for the baby, we have a list made of things we will need to bring for our stay in michigan, our jobs know that we could leave at ANY time, the carseat is ready....
please continue for us (me) to have peace and patience as we wait for our first born child!!!
***here is a picture of the 2 youngest grandbabies playing at lovey & poppas house last week...cant wait to see our precious baby playing with his/her cousins!!***
Some day your call will come!!! OOOOHHHHHH I can't wait either- EXCITING!!!!!!! Praying for patience.....hard to do...
ReplyDeleteCan't wait either! So excited for you!! I've had to die to waiting for God's timing, too! I completely understand!! It will be a wonderful moment when it comes!
ReplyDeleteWe are still waiting for those silly prints! (5 weeks now...) Got the profiles here and am slowly putting pics on...not rushing since those silly prints aren't back....but, like you, learning to trust and be patient for His most perfect time....
So your drive is 18 hours? Ours is 12! That might be the longest drive of your life! :-) But, you WILL get there and it WILL happen!!
Hugs,
June
Ah, I can just picture your baby playing with their cousins! What a sweet way to grow up :) Praise the Lord for all he has done so far through this journey and for the amazing things to come. You know, it is in times like these when we are blessed with a chance to grow closer to him and those around us. I also praise him for the way your heart has been so willing to grow!!! I love you.
