9 Months

A couple of days ago DH and I reached a milestone in our "waiting" era.  We reached the 9 month mark.  For me, this is a huge milestone for a couple of reasons.  For one, if I were able to get pregnant, we would've been "due" to have our baby.  In a hospital.  With labor pains.  Epidurals.  Family.  Blah blah blah.  I think about how fast the time has went and imagine how fast my own pregnancy would've went if only I were able to conceive. 

We have submitted a complete makeover to our online profile through our adoption agency.  We changed our birth parent letter and traded out all of our pictures to replace the old boring ones with new ones showing off some of our adventures together.  We don't know what birth mothers look for.  We've been told my other friends who have adopted that sometimes it's the "weirdest" things that make the birth mother connect to an adoptive family.  Whatever the case may be we felt after looking at the same online profile over and over that it was time for an overhaul!

One last thing...If you are a praying person at all, I ask you to please take a moment and say a prayer for a special little boy.  I'm hoping to be able to share this story later, after all the details are worked out, but in the meantime all I can say is please pray that God grants him love and hope for all his years to come. 

Hope everyone has had a wonderful Sunday! :)
