WAITLIST BABY!!!!

WOW!  SO thankful for many reasons!  Yesterday Dad went into the hospital because he thought he was having a heart attack.  Thankfully he was not.  While walking out of the hospital last night, I got the phone call from Toni saying that our Dossier had been officially accepted and we are now OFFICIALLY on the waitlist!  YAY!  I now feel pregnant!  It was such great news admist a scary time.  It was fun to be able to tell Dad this great news because he has much to be around for!!!

I finished (with the help from Miss Maren), a paper chain.....one pink and one blue.....as our numbers change I will take away links!  That way we will always have a visual for how close we are to being OFFICIALLY linked with our little love!  Soooo......here is just a little view of all the paperwork we got approved:

Begin with the checklist                                        Here it is all laid out....

 
Here I am with my beloved paperwork....
AND NOW FOR THE BIG REVEAL....MAREN ELIZABETH, WOULD YOU DO THE HONORS???

WE ARE NUMBER 118 FOR A GIRL  and NUMBER 90 FOR A BOY!!! 

NOW WHAT RIGHT?

Keep in mind that there are many families just like us who are on multiple wait lists.  There is a wait list for sibling groups as well....so some families can be on all 3.  So there aren't literally 118 families waiting for only a girl.  So it sounds a little beafier(is this a word?) then it is.  They are saying the wait time could be up to 18 months.  We have seen God work in huge ways throughout these past 5 months.  HIS timing and provision has been perfect EVERY time!  I trust these next months to HIM and HIM alone!  Excited for the path ahead!  Blessed!

Dad is doing great today!  They did a procedure this morning that showed his heart is great and has no problems.  I am sure there will be more to come to find out what is causing his pain but today....we are so thankful!  I am thankful to my family and friends for their support today! 

More to come........
