So we have made it to our second trimester! Hurrah... the morning sickness is starting to go away and we are starting to notice the little signs of our soon coming child here and there... Our pile of paperwork has grown noticeably - in fact, we will soon have to switch out of normal folders and start using maternity folders.

But all "kid"ding (ha ha) aside, it has become very real to us that we are expectant parents. We have gotten past the giddy "We are adopting!" phase and are re-working our thoughts, actions, and identities in anticipation of our new role as parents. We are asking questions and taking notes from all the parents we know. We are thinking how we can change our routines to make room for our little one. We are jamming in all the late night movies we can... the time is coming when we will have to go to the early movie and spend $30 on a babysitter!
It is a joyful anticipation. We are all set for a nice long wait while we prepare... which will drag by super slow while we wait... but then - suddenly the waiting will be over and we will be rushing away to Bulgaria to meet and then again to bring home the child of our hearts!During all of this, we may have some days when the waiting feels like it will never end. Please encourage us if you see us looking down or trying to put up a brave front! Send us a text, give us a smile... it will make our day!
Here's how you can pray for us during this stage of our adoption:
- We need encouragement... pray that God will be the lifter of our heads.
- We need wisdom... pray that God will give us His wisdom.
- We need courage... pray that God will make us brave.
- We need favour... pray that God will be with us every step.
- We need funds... pray that God will provide.
- We need perseverance... pray that God will give us strength.
