The Call

I did not expect that January 10, 2011 would be a day that I would remember forever....You never do when amazing things happen. I think that is why things are so amazing, leaving you to thank God for everything He has done in your life!

Around 2:30pm I got a call from Dan saying: "Guess what? WE GOT PICKED!!!"

Unfortunately, I didn't even respond with excitement. I was like, "Oh, okay" (After having 7 birthmothers look at our profile and not getting picked by any of them I had somewhat given up hope). So, when Dan called saying that we had actually gotten picked I didn't really believe him!!! Poor Dan!!! He was holding back tears and I was acting like he was saying he would bring home pizza for dinner!!! :)

Flash forward 10 minutes:
You would have found me crying, shaking and in shock.

I guess it just took a bit for it to sink in.

We had been told that these birthparents would be looking at our profile on January 5...I actually wasn't really paying any attention to the date because that can just make a person crazy. Anyway, the only information that I can really give out right now is that they are a younger couple who just want to make the right decision for their baby. We do not know the sex of the baby...we might find out next week when we meet the birthparents at Bethany. She is due April 11.

We are so excited and tried to call/text/email/facebook everyone!!! Phew!!! After a celebratory dinner and spending some time with Dan it is finally sinking in. We are going to be parents very soon. What an awesome God we have!!!

The happy parent's to be!!!
