I am overflowing with happiness today. One of the reasons is that Meredith Westomoreland is supposed to have her baby today. What is so exciting about this is because it will be their first girl!! I'm really not sure why I am THIS excited about it. I mean, I haven't seen them since Emily and Dennis's wedding and I don't frequent Martin for any reason, so I don't know when I will be able to see Baby Girl. I'm just excited for them as a family.
I'm also really excited because my work friend is pregnant!!! I just found out this morning when her husband and her came to my center to get some things to take to her county. She was lifting a box and her husband gently reminded her not to lift anything she wasn't supposed to. WHAT?? She then informed me that she was 11 weeks preggers!!! I'm really excited for her and I can't wait to see what sort of mom she is going to be.
The excitement of all this get my biological clock ticking. Tick Tick Tick. I want to be a mother so bad, but I know that I need to wait until Andrew is more comfortable with the idea (he does have SOME say) and I want to be done with grad school. My cousin is going to school to be a Nurse Practioner and she was driving around town last week trying to find someone to watch her 1 year old because she had a paper due that day and she can't really take her eyes off of her toddler. She advised me to wait until I was done with school.
Adoption!!!! We had a speaker at our church discuss adoption this past Sunday. I honestly wouldn't mind adopting or being a foster parent. Andrew is not so keen on the idea. It takes someone with a special heart that will love a child as equally as a child they give birth to. I know that I would. It is expensive to adopt and my heart and prayers have been going out to Daniel and Emily Doss. This goes into my next passion (blog stalking). Emily and Daniel were chosen by a birthmother to adopt her baby, Jeremiah. With 10 weeks left in her pregnancy, the birthfather showed up and his parents didn't want their grandchild to be given up for adoption, which is understandable. Because of this, the birthmother stopped the adoption and Emily and Daniel (who had already painted Jeremiah's room) aren't getting the baby. I cried for them when I read her blog and I have never met her. I would love to work with adoptions someday. There is a place called Bethany Christian Services, which has a location in Memphis. I would love to see the look on a family's face when they see their child for the first time.
Blog Stalking (Blurking)
One of my favorite new blogs-Bryan Allain asked people to comment on his blog and give him their favorite blogs. WOWZA!! Jackpot!!! I have found some good ones. It's good because Jenny from Addison Road hasn't been able to post regularly and Amy Grant is boring.
