Well we made it to Ryan's parents' house in NC this morning. We switched cars since we're taking their van, and loaded it up with everything we need for the trip. Ryan's mom had tons of stuff for us, including a car seat, preemie clothes, and a packed diaper bag! Thank goodness because I only bought diapers and then forgot them at home!
We are now on our way, still in NC, with 690 miles to go today. We're staying overnight in Mobile, Alabama, and then we'll have three hours to go tomorrow.
I was so excited this morning, but now I'm a little nervous. I'm just worried it's too good to be true and something could still go wrong. I guess that's to be expected. It's a rollercoaster ride, that's for sure!
Thank you all so much for your continued prayers. I wish I could respond to all your comments. I have a dialogue in my head with all of you as I'm reading them so I have to remind myself that I haven't talked to all of you! I wish I could. I also apologize for not thanking each of the donors personally yet, but I will. So please know I couldn't be more appreciative! I cry whenever I think about your generosity. I've never experienced anything like this in my life.
I could go on and on, but I don't like typing on the iPhone so I'll stop for now (I also can't upload pictures, but will try to do it tonight from our hotel). If you wouldn't mind, please pray for everything to go smoothly tomorrow and that we leave there with a baby girl.
Oh, and we do have a name for her and will announce it tomorrow once we pick her up!
PS - There's a car seat in the back seat! So crazy!

Ahh! The thought of you guys driving a van with a car seat in the back to go pick up your baby just made me tear up!! I go crazy in between each and every update! I'm probably going to call you now!
ReplyDeleteLove you!!
I know exactly how you're feeling! And a carseat in the back is awesome...saying a prayer that all goes well for you..
ReplyDeleteI just started reading your blog last week when I found out I have PCOS. I googled Catholic infertility and your blog popped up. I just wanted to say Congrats!! I'm so happy for you!! On another note I live in Mobile, AL. If you need anything tonight please comment back! I'm praying for you!

Keeping on believing. And how amazing to have a car seat in your car!
ReplyDeleteI am so excited for you- do you keep just glancing back at the car seat and thinking, wow, is this me?! I think I would!! I will continue praying that God has orchestrated all of this so it will go very smoothly!!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure being nervous is completely normal. We will definitely be praying.
ReplyDeletePS I skipped around my house yesterday with excitement while I was cleaning. haha.

ReplyDeleteAhhh!!! I go offline for 24 hours and so much has happened here on your blog! Congrats congrats congrats!!! Oh, this brings back so many happy memories...the carseat in the car...the crazy travel with a hopeful if not somewhat fearful heart, the last night you spend with uninterrupted sleep!

I am so excited for you! I haven't visited your blog in a while, but I don't think it was by chance that I happened to check today. I will say some extra prayers for you as you go get your baby! Sending you my prayers...
ReplyDeleteIt's funny, I was going to pack you a full diaper bag just in case you would have forgotten anything - so your bases would have been completely covered!!!!
ReplyDeleteSo funny, now I won't do that! Let me know if there is anything else I can do for you guys!

ReplyDeleteI am sure that the carseat in the back seat is exciting and scary all at the same time. My husband & I had a failed adoption this year & it was sooo scary for us to set up the crib. After it was over I couldn't take that crib down fast enough.
Know that there are a lot of people praying for you & eagerly awaiting news. Kiss that baby for all of us who are still waiting for our miracles!
God's blessings!
Going to adoration tonight for you and R. Praying everything goes perfectly!
ReplyDeleteWhat a miracle!! Your baby is beautiful and is so blessed to have you as her mother and father. Can't wait for more pics!!
So very happy for you!!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!
