OUR NUMBERS!!!

What a journey this has already been! We are praising God for bringing us this far—and we are so excited that we are another step close to our baby!!! We felt like this was such a huge milestone…and I feel officially EXPECTING…and being a photographer who loves pictures—I kind of like to think of this time as my “paper pregnancy”…so I guess in a way, these are my maternity pictures;). REJOICE and PRAISE JESUS with us!!! We can’t WAIT for these numbers to dwindle and eventually match us to the baby we have LONGED for! I feel like we NEED him way more than he could ever need us. I long for him as I have longed for my other three children…and I can’t wait to finally have him in my arms!!!

Yay! I know you have been waiting a long time for these numbers. Strangely you're the second family to post wait list numbers today and you both are #45 on the girls list 🙂 They must have had a lot to sort through with all the families having dossier's turned in last week.

From the information we have right now I believe we are #18 on the boys list and #42 on the girls list.

Let the waiting begin 🙂

Congrats, amazing video, and can't wait to see the journey God takes you on…
