While We're Waiting

While we wait on our precious daughter from China,
Our family will grow by two additional feet …

Our next addition is due to arrive December 22nd, 2009.

That's right, we are expecting. Our hearts are warmed to announce this. We know that there is still uncertainty as to what the outcome of this pregnancy will be, but we know that God's will and plan will unfold. We also know that we must trust in Him. We are excited to anticipate another addition to our family and feel so blessed to anticipate another child as we also continue to pursue adoption.

We have had two ultrasounds, one at 8 weeks during which we could see this sweet baby's heartbeat and one at nearly 13 weeks when we could see the most beautifully shaped round little head ever. What a completely overwhelming gift to see that it looks like this baby will not have a neural tube disorder.

As I've mentioned before, I cannot post without a photo. So, here it is. This is our water cooler at work. I have two women on my team who are also expecting (both due in November), it appears to be an epidemic in our department. Thus, this is how I announced my pregnancy at work.

So grateful to all of you who have prayerfully lifted us up and have helped us journey to this point. Love you.

While I'm Waiting
John Fuller

I'm waiting ... I'm waiting on You, Lord
And I am hopeful ... I'm waiting on You, Lord
Though it is painful ... But patiently, I will wait
I will move ahead, bold and confident ...Taking every step in obedience
While I'm waiting ... I will serve You
While I'm waiting ... I will worship
While I'm waiting ... I will not faint
I'll be running the race ... Even while I wait
I'm waiting ... I'm waiting on You, Lord
And I am peaceful ... I'm waiting on You, Lord
Though it's not easy ... But faithfully, I will wait ... Yes, I will wait
I will serve You while I'm waiting ... I will worship while I'm waiting
I will serve You while I'm waiting ... I will worship while I'm waiting
I will serve you while I'm waiting ... I will worship while I'm waiting on You, Lord

Got your card in the mail and it was so cute. I am SO happy for you and Jason!
