Miracle

Stacy and I spent two years in the adoption process of Sara Lyn. We received the referral on July the 7th and about a month later we received news that Stacy was pregnant. The timing was absolutely perfect. If it turned out that Stacy was pregnant before July the 7th, then we were obligated to stop the adoption process. Like I said, the timing was perfect.

I never thought we would have a child naturally. I thought we would adopt our entire family, but I guess that wasn't the true plan. Well now we have had Sara Lyn for 3 weeks and it is starting to feel normal.

To be honest, I have not given Stacy's pregnancy much thought. I have been so obsessed with acclamating Sara that I haven't been able to think about the new baby. There are two things that are changing these thoughts. First, Stacy is starting to get BIG. It is strange and beautiful to see Stacy growing/glowing. Second, tomorrow we are heading, as a family, to see our first real picture of you. At the beginning of the pregnancy, we saw an unltrasound, but they had to type, "Baby" so that we knew where the baby actually was in the picture. Tomorrow we are going to see the real thing. The baby should look more like an alien than a dot.

Stacy is really nervous about tomorrow. She is just worried that something might be wrong with the baby. She doesn't really have any reason for this apprehension, but that doesn't make it go away. I'm not really nervous; I'm pretty excited about seeing the pictures. I think it is going to make this process very real.
