6 months today

we were approved to add a new baby to our family. I have to say the wait has been long. But so it is with waiting for a baby to be born when I was pregnant with our first three. 10 months in fact. Plus the time it took to try to have one. So I guess all in all we haven't spent much more time waiting, it just seems like it. We also don't have a "due date", which makes it all that much harder for me to wait. We spoke with an acquaintance of ours today and found out they are trying to adopt their second child domestically and have also been waiting about 6 months. They have to be chosen by the birth mother.
I would love to start buying things for our baby but have been waiting until we get the "phone call". However, what any new baby needs is a lot of love and we have that.

*Update on my friend in the post below. He had the biopsies on the nodules done and is waiting for the results. Praying for him!

Getting A Phone Call

and I don't mean the one I wanted to get about a baby girl.

Instead one that you never want to get about a friend possibly having cancer.
Your best friend. One you have known for a very long time. So long I need a calculator (or a really good memory to figure out). A friend of 26 years.

It makes you re-think what is really important in life.

Returning home where you probably belong.

I hate waiting. Waiting for answers. Waiting for phone calls. Waiting for Holidays and birthdays.

I am really really praying that my friend finds out that he does not have cancer and that I will get a phone call telling me that soon.
