Now that hubby and I have rushed around like madmen to get everything in place to adopt, we suddenly feel like time has frozen. Sure, January is only 4.5 months away, but we've experienced a dizzying and nerve-wracking situation similar to finding yourself in bumper-to-bumper traffic after three hours of driving 70 m.p.h. down the highway. Just like little kids, we will probably soon be asking each other "are we there yet?"
The truth is, we never got past the "getting everything in place" stage of pregnancy before. We lost both of pregnancies before the second trimester really got underway. Yet here we are now...soon to be parents of a healthy baby who is doing well in the second trimester. We secretly count the days until he or she arrives, and we are forever grateful that our long wait to hold our child is truly almost over.
Somewhere, deep inside me, that empty spot I was so sure would never be filled has been filled beyond capacity with love and longing for January to get here, so we can bring our baby home.
