It may seem strange but I am still shocked when I look in the mirror and see that I am pregnant. We waited for a long time to have another baby and during that time it was hard to see other people pregnant. Then when we were pursuing adoption I was able to remind myself that it is okay to not be pregnant because I would soon have a baby in my arms. In fact I was kind of liking the idea of someone else going through the pregnancy and labor part and just having a baby to bring home. God has His purposes and plans!
Mike and I have been talking a lot about the big change that Anna Elizabeth will make in our family. We have been a threesome for almost 5 years and this is what we are used to. We had Luke a little over a year into marriage so we were still getting used to each other by the time he came. I am so thankful for the 9 months of pregnancy to think through things like this. It would have been much more shocking to have someone hand us a baby and then realize how life was turned upside down.
In the end, we are really looking forward to these changes and can't wait to meet our Anna Elizabeth!!!
