Some days....

Some days, all this waiting business stinks!  Some days, I just want to be normal - get pregnant like a "normal" couple. Some days I feel REALLY jealous of all of our friends who have beautiful babies.  Some days I wish God would SURPRISE us with an amazing immediate answer.  Some days, I imagine what I would look like pregnant. Some days, I just want to go back to bed and start the day over.  Some days, I wish that we didn't have to save every penny for this journey. Some days, I cry.  Some days, I imagine that we got pregnant on our first try (four years ago).  Some days, I shop online all day for baby things.  Some days, my emotions are on a roller coaster.  Some days, I want to scream.
TODAY- I got to hold a beautiful adopted baby.  Today I got to see the happiness and joy in a mother's eyes over her baby's journey home.  Today, I got to kiss sweet cheeks that are loved beyond anything she can even fathom.  Today, I remembered that SOMEDAY God is going to bring our baby home, and I will be rocking him/her and kissing him/her and loving him/her.  Today is a day to celebrate.

Hello friends...

Per the request of some pretty fabulous friends - I am updating our blog... Here is the thing about adoption - It is a SLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOW process.  There is a LOT of waiting involved.  So we are trying to take our time preparing for Baby Chalos by slowly purchasing needed items, saving for the adoption, and finally doing some pretty fabulous fundraisers.  Our newest fundraiser is pretty fun.  My hubs designed an amazing shirt that we are selling in adult, child, baby, and dog sizes. :)

Any size shirt is $15.00.  We have been so blessed so far, and we are just trusting that God is going to provide what we need in order to bring this baby home. 

I want to take a minute to say THANK YOU for your amazing prayers.  It means more than you know. 

I will leave you on a funny note.  I recently saw (on a friend's facebook) a coupon for a free baby sling.  So of COURSE, I had to order it. :) We got it really quickly, so we decided to try it out on our first little baby, Joseph Chalos.  Let's be honest, it is just a tad small on Chad, but I HAD to post this pic. 

 It is pretty hilarious.

Hope you enjoyed! (TONI COLLIER. :) )
