now that we're "paper pregnant" (in the waiting pool), the 500 pound purple gorilla, pounding on my shoulders, has been reduced to a 5 ounce, pygmy marmoset nibbling on my thumb. I still think about our future child every day (Really, how could I ignore this cute little guy.), but it's with anticipation, eagerness and joy. From the day we turned in all the paperwork, God has put peace in my heart, understanding and forgiveness (for the stupid or insensitive comments) in my mind and patience (that I have NEVER known) in my soul. He's even provided for us financially. As I have learned from reading the Gumm family blog, "I’m not sure how it will happen but I am totally stoked to see the amazing ways that God will help us earn/find the funds."
So, please know I continue to follow all your stories, rejoice in your progress, and really appreciate all the prayers, warm wishes and understanding, but for now I'm ok in the waiting. God has that special little one already picked for me, it's just not the right time...yet.

Oh Trac
This is beautifully expressed!!! Love it!
I am continuing to check in and pray and I'm so glad God has reduced the size of the anxiety and you are trusting in His plan completely!!!
I'm very glad to hear that you are at peace. You've made an excellent decision and it's true that God has picked a child for you and they will be there soon.
The waiting is so hard, but you are so right, God's timing is perfect. He knows who your child is and when they will be born. I found this while waiting for Kaden.....
Your Heavenly Father says... "Wait," I see beyond the stretch of yesterday, the reality of today and the corner of tomorrow.
"Wait," you will find joy and wisdom in this arduos journey "Wait," trust in My faithfulness and love, even when things don't make sense
"Wait," the process is sometimes the only available venue for a miracle
"Wait," I have a supreme surprise for you and want you to remain for the perfect moment
"Wait," and know that along each path of life, I will walk with you "Wait," I know and hold your child
