So it’s been 8 weeks now. It’s hard to believe that it’s been that long since the last post. I get asked a lot how we’re doing. Sometimes, I’m not even thinking about the failed adoption, and I respond with how things are going at the moment, which is generally pretty good. Other times, I respond that there are good days and bad days. Preparing for the holidays has been hard, since I had been visualizing going through the holidays with a new baby.
It’s also hard because so many people around us are either pregnant, or have a new baby. However, I’ve realized that it’s not the baby itself which affects me, but everything else. The other day, we had gone to a Christmas event in downtown Lafayette, and ran into some friends-of-friends, and their baby. But it was the stroller which nearly brought me to tears–the idea of how we could have been pushing the stroller ourselves down main street.
The now-painted nursery has also been a trouble for me. We’ve left the door closed, and I still have no interest in going back in there yet. Kristina seems to be doing better in that regard. On the other hand, I also don’t have much need to go in there, so it is not that big of an issue.
Overall, we are doing well, under the circumstances. We are back to waiting for our next match, and for God to show us his path for us. Meanwhile, please keep us in your prayers.
