We started this blog two years ago when the official paperchase for baby Grace began, and thankfully, life has taken many an unexpected turn, but in all of the twists and turns, we have continue to cultivate a heart for baby Grace.
I hear pregnant mothers complain all the time about how long nine months seems. I smile. Nine months, really? I know it's different because there's wear and tear on bodies and hormones associated with biological birth, and I don't think there's a pregnant woman alive who isn't ready to expell that 8 pound human from her body and see her feet again, not have to pee every two seconds, and just be comfortable. I get that. And, I get that nine months is a long time to wait to see the face of the baby you love.
But, let me tell you: two years and counting is no walk in the park. Baby Grace is coming. She's coming in the beautifully mysterious thing called "God's timing." We don't say that flippantly. We know there's a plan, a beautiful plan that brought us baby Grant. I just envy sometimes the pregnant moms the world over who know when their baby is coming... plus or minus a few months.
So, when is baby Grace coming? Here are our new projections: earliest we'd bring her home is May 2008... latest is January 2009. But, at the rate we're going, it could be 2010. You never know.
So, here's to baby Grace... we love her, have loved her, and will continue to wait with such eager expectation to bring her home to her forever family. And, here's to our blog, which has chronicled the journey of our lives and our babies for two years...
and counting...
