7 Months

My Bella is 7 months old today and we are not with her to celebrate. This has been a very emotional day for me. You know how you always find yourself saying "I can't take much more."? Well, usually when I say that, I secretly know I still have a ways to go before it becomes true. Not now. I truly feel like I could explode at ANY second. My nerves are shot and I JUST WANT MY BABY GIRL HOME!!!!!!!

No news yet as to what is going on in Guatemala to get Bella home. I will post as soon as I get info. In the meantime, pray for me, Jeff and Jake. We all are having a tough time of it lately.

I'm so sorry to hear that you're having such a rough time. You know you're in my prayers. We're going to get this baby girl home!

Happy 7 Months Isabella!!!!

We are praying for you hun. I say we, because my husand, Jason, has been thinking of your family alot and asking me several times a day if you've heard anything yet. I guess adoption stirs everyone's heart! I can't imagine what you are going through, but try to keep your eyes focused on Him...He will see you through!

Happy 7 months Bella! I wish I had the words to say that would make this easier, I search for them every day for all of us. I know that some days I walk through the day like a zombie. I will keep praying that things move for you to bring your baby home!
Hang in there,
Donna

Happy 7 month birthday, pretty girl! I know you are aching for her so deeply, Amanda - as are Jeff and Jake - but I am believing with all my heart and soul that something good happened today. I'm praying that Monday brings good news and your hope is restores. ((((((HUGS)))))

I know the feeling!!! I pray that you get news sooner than soon.

Proverbs 25:25 "Like cold water to a weary soul is good news from a distant land."

This waiting is BEYOND torture.....

Praying for you tonight

You are in my thoughts and prayers. I wish that I could do more, but it is in times like these that the only thing that we can do is pray!

I will be checking back in hopes of some good news!

I have not delt with infertility, but I can't imagine MUCH worse than waiting on these babies.

I normally go to bed praying and telling God that I cannot handle another day----the day comes, and somehow I make it. That night I repeat the same thing. One day, I know that I will wake up and I will get a call from my agency that says that I can come and get JP. That's the ONLY thing that keeps me going. HANG IN THERE! I'm w/ you!
