I'm here....getting ready once again!

Well as I've admitted before and I'll admit it once again, I am not a good blogger :-P Hopefully Rob will lead us on this part of our crusade once again as we anticipate travel within a few weeks. You would think that since we've been down this road once before that everything would be kosher for me, but it's not. Yes, I'm nervous! Just as nervous as with Lucy....maybe even a little more. So I continue to hold onto God's promises.....that if He leads us to it he will bring us through it....He did NOT forsake us with Lucy, and I know He will be there for us with Harper (Charity). All the questions that keep coming up... What if she doesn't like me? Lucy is a DREAM, what if Harper is the exact opposite? What if I don't bond with her? How will I manage 3 CHILDREN with Down Syndrome? How will Ragen learn to accept her? How will Lucy manage seeing her Mommy hold another? Will there be enough of me to go around? Will we be able to stay afloat financially? How will my girls do while we are gone? The questions seem endless.... Please do NOT get me wrong...I am getting very very excited to meet my daughter, to hold her, to touch her, to smell her, to make her smile, to make her laugh, to bring her chocolate and feed it to her when the caretakers aren't looking :-)...it's jut the evil one trying to get to me and put doubts in my head...just like last time. But he will NOT win. Prayers for this upcoming journey in my/our life would be greatly appreciated...

  1. God bless you and your family and I know everything will be great. I got a great feeling. Harper will love you both unconditionally like you will love her. I wish I was taking this journey with you but know my families thoughts and prayers are with you all . God will guide the way.. Hugs and kisses to your beautiful family and most of all to Harper. Please give her a squeeze and a big kiss from me.

  2. I'm so glad you posted. I've been dropping in to see what was new and then wondered if you were still adopting. I'm so happy that you are getting close to seeing your new little girl. I'm keeping you in my prayers.

  3. I am excited for you. The nervousness is normal ... just like with any new baby. I actually somehow had not realized that Harper also has Down Syndrome. How blessed your family is! Looking forward to following your journey again :)

    1. Deanna!! I miss seeing you on FB and so excited to see you are getting Charity.. I think I can guess why you are not active- i hope it wasn't on my acct. I am getting off as well. I get way too emotional!! Do you still need funds? Where should I donate- on the FSP on this blog? Miss you and admire you tons-you are gorgeous inside and out and glad I know you even in a 'virtual pen pal-ish' way! hugs!! -Molly Shannon Auble
