If you haven’t been keeping up with our adoption journey, be sure to check out my other blog:
With the impending arrival of our 2nd baby, that is pretty much the only thing consuming my thoughts these days. It is hard to focus on anything else and I keep going back to my to-do list of all the things I want to get done before baby arrives. And I know that once the baby comes, I will be slow to get back into the routines of daily life. I am cleaning and cooking and washing with abandon, hoping that it will tide me over while I adjust to a new little one in our midst. I keep reminding myself that life does return to normal, eventually.
But I am staring sleepless nights and long days in the face. And you know what? I’m excited about them. Excited in that childlike way that does not know what the future holds or how tired I’ll be in a week. But I’m continually reminded by others, and myself, how special and fleeting those first days are with your baby. There will be a celebration of life and we hope to be part of that celebration.
I hope to be back to writing again soon…about the celebrations of life, about the fullness and excitement of simple things.
