Good News!!

Hello Everyone!!
Wow, life has been adventerous over here lately. I tell ya, there is never a dull moment and we love every bit of it. I have to tell you a funny story. Our little princess is just the cutest thing and keeps me on my toes. The other day we were on our way home from Ryan's office and I knew before I got home I needed to get Hollie some lunch because she would fall asleep before we got home. So, I went through the Wendy's drive-thru and got her some chicken nuggets. She was very happy and was eating them quite contently. She started to fuss a bit so, I turned around to find, our little princess covered in poop!! Yes, you read that right, poop. It was the most disgusting thing ever!!!! I was totally confused as to how it happened and allthough I was only 5 minutes away from home it felt like it was forever away. She had it on her hands, down her legs and on her face and on the chicken nugget she was about to eat!!! Ah, it was just disgusting! I wiped her off as much as I could and tried not to gag. We finally made it home and it was off to the bath and then nap time. I cleaned her seat and used many cleaners to sanitize and get the smell out. It was quite an experience and we lived through it. I am still boggled at how it all happened. Hardly any of it made it in the diaper. She was wearing an overall dress with a onesie under it and the only thing I can think of was that somehow her diaper got moved over, I don't know and will never know exactly how it happened. I guess it was just something we had to experience and thank goodness I just laughed.
Well, on to the good news. Our family is going to be growing by one more come the month of February! Yup, you read that right too, we are going to be adopting a baby the end of February. We are very excited and cannot wait. I tell ya, we waited three weeks for Hollie and that felt like an eternity and now I can only imagine three months. Thank goodness the holidays are here because that will help things go by quicker. Oh my, I can only imagine a 9 month pregnancy, that would feel like years.
This came at a perfect time for us. We have done two rounds of intra-uterine insemination and we have had no success. I was telling Ryan that I would like to take a break through the holidays and try our last one in January. Ryan said, that sounds good and lets pray about it and we will know what to do. Well, we did and we got the call for this baby the next morning. I know that the Lord works in mysterious ways and answers to our prayers can come in ways we may not think of. I am so grateful for this special blessing and that this little baby will be joining our family. I am so grateful for adoption and how it has allowed Ryan and I to be parents and to enjoy the blessings of children. I am so glad that our little princess will have a playmate, but we are definetly going to have to work on the sharing thing. She has a few baby dolls and is very gentle with them and we will just hope that that gentleness will continue. We do not know if the baby is a girl or boy yet, and we are hoping to find out soon. I will definetly keep you all updated. Ryan and I are just so excited and are so glad we get to be parents of two very special children. I am so excited I cannot even tell you. We will have lots of fun preparing for this little one and I am so glad I have a great shopping buddy!
