The News

Like I said in a previous post, Trevor and I got to get out of our small little town and journey to the big city for our one and only in office visit with our case worker, Deborah. But before the big interview, we had the dreaded shots.

Is there a resemblance? Trev wants to know if his face is turning yellow..yellow like the color of the bucket? He feels like he has fever...

Maybe it's because we caught yellow fever.. The vaccine that is...



See that nurse..She was so incredibly happy for us. The sweetest lady..

See dufus tightening up his arm. Yep he cried like a little baby afterwards because it hurt so bad!!

 So I'm being just a little dramatic. It wasn't that bad...

We found this to be quiet hilarious. Trevor was very disappointed since this is what he tends to do while waiting patiently in the doctor's office..Blow up the glove like a balloon hand.. But not here...No sir. We are NOT paying $5.00 for his little entertainment!

We then went to meet with our case worker at Little Miracles International. Trevor had to give us a little humor before we went in because I was SUPER nervous. I mean, I know ultimately it's all in God's hands, but our case worker is the one who decides if we're "fit" to be parents. This is scary business!!!

 Do I look frightened? I should be..we're on the 13th floor!!

Notice the "binder"? It goes everywhere with us! And my handy dandy filing system!

About to meet Deborah!

The interview was very painless. She was so incredibly sweet and full of lots of information. She said asked us questions about our self and our upbringing. What we do for a living. Why adoption? Why Congo? Although we were completely speaking from the heart, you still wonder if you said the right thing! One thing she did say was, "Yall definitely move fast." It kind of startled us because yeah I guess we do. We dated for 2 months, got engaged, got married 3 months later at the age of 20, had 2 kids by the time we were 26 and our third one is on the way. But we definitely reassured her that this decision was not made without seeking God, His will and plan for our lives and much time in prayer. We know when we have peace about something, it's God. And when it's His doing, we know that all of it will work out! Two hours later, we were on our way to...

JASON'S DELI!!!

 This is one of our most favorite places to eat. We were a little bummed because we are on a gluten, sugar free diet and Jason's is known for their sandwiches..which is served on BREAD! But little Jason's came through by serving gluten free bread (as if it really mattered...we were going to splurge anyway!).



To our astonishment though, the doctor gave us some news.




 Some news that I know will eventually set in.



It's not making sense to us because Trevor did get, well, you know, fixed...




But our God has greater plans for us....




We found out....

WE'RE EXPECTING!!!

 Thanks Nothing Left to Paint for the absolutely amazing idea!!

After we met with our case worker, we did find out that our dossier will be submitted by December and we'll be put on the list for a referral. Of course this is just an estimate, but we should be expecting our baby to come home about June-July!!

Sweet baby we're praying for you right now. We know God has his arms wrapped around you so tightly!!! We're coming...
