Tomorrow marks 8 months waiting for our precious E. Even though we know our wait is going to be much longer, I'm still counting the months. One month gone means one month closer to getting her, right? It's still bittersweet for us... as we are ramping up and getting things together for Faith, it also makes us sad that E isn't here yet. But, as we are buying one crib set for Faith, we are also buying one for E. I want E to have her very own too... I don't want E to think that we have forgotten about her. I think about her all the time. As Faith is starting to push and nudge me in my belly and let me know her opinion of things, I also wonder if E's been conceived yet, and if she's making herself known to her momma too. Since the girls are going to share a room at first, I'm torn if I should use the giraffe theme that we started for E now, or wait until E is close to coming home. But, that would mean we'd have to redecorate in a year.. not sure I want to do that either. So I think for now, we are going to blend them in but still save a few things for when E comes home.
Faith will know from the beginning that her baby sister (or big sister) will be joining our family soon. It will be handy to have two girls so that toys and clothing can be shared, as well as friendship and hearts! I'm sure God had all of this planned out from the beginning.
We are hoping that E is home for Faith's 1st Birthday Party in February 2012. But, it would be really nice to have her home by the end of next year... especially since our adoption tax credit will expire on December 31, 2011. But, tax credit or not, she will be worth the wait and worth every penny spent!
