Yesterday we were 8 months LID. My cyber-friend that has the same LID pointed that out to me in an email. It's hard to believe that it's been this long. I want to find out who my little girl is, so that I can put a face to the name and the longing that I have for her. I truly do love her, and can't wait to meet her. Please know that WE LOVE YOU GRACE!!!!
I just realized that when we started this whole journey back in April 005, I thought we'd be 3rd time parents by now. I thought we'd be settling into a normal pace of life with 3 girls in our family this summer. Instead we're stuck in the waiting. I'm trying to be patient, but it's hard. It's kind of like being pregnant, but not like it because the fact that we're going to be welcoming a new life into our family is not readily apparent as it is when I was pregnant. It also somewhat like having taken a pregnancy test back in November 2005, and not knowing the results until we actually get our referral - which is still looking like November of 2006. Imagine waiting 12 months to find out if you really are pregnant or not. And then after you find out having another 2 month wait until you can actually see, feel and touch your child. It's hard!
