It's about time!

Okay, Okay... When I started this I envisioned myself being a tad more on top of the blogging than I am! It has been a while! But, the nature of the adoption "wait" is just that... A very long...Wait! That is all we are doing! I don't know about the others that are on this adoption journey with me, but it is getting increasingly harder to answer the same question over and over again! That is..."Have you heard anything about your little girl yet?" The answer is always the same..."No, we are just waiting!"
And, that is what we are prepared to do! However long it takes we are going to wait! It makes it a lot easier when our days are filled with the daily ins and outs of taking care of the rest of our family! Our boy's are very distracting by just being themselves! I have been buying stuff for her bedroom, that helps to pass the time a little. It will be fun to finally put it all together!
I do have to say that I have had a few "annoying" comments lately. I have heard them before, and we have even had to take a preparation course on dealing with comments. But, for some reason, this particular one bothers me the most..."So, you are doing this to get your little girl..." I could scream when I hear this one! As if we don't love our sweet little boys enough, that we have to add our "long awaited" girl to be "complete". WHATEVER!!!!! I actually had a very (rude) family member argue with me recently over this issue! They were convinced (with all of their knowledge of us...) that we were doing this to get a girl! We don't ever want our boys to think they were not good enough, or for Taryn to think she is this "token" girl! As we stated in the opening blog, we are doing this to help a child. To give a child a family, home and love. We would have 5 boys if we thought we would not go insane, or 5 girls for that matter. Taryn is simply a fulfillment of a plan we had before we were even married for our family. IT IS THAT SIMPLE!
Sooooo, now that I have stood on my soap box about this issue, I hope everyone is doing well right now! Keep praying for her, she could be born by now! The date is still way up in the air! We are thinking December or February! I will try to be more faithful about posting information as well as some random pictures every once in a while! God bless!
