Now the real waiting begins. Has it really been less than a week??? Last night I woke up around 4 because one of the boys was crying. I couldn't get back to sleep. I layed awake and thought about Jada (did I mention that's what we're naming her???). I prayed for loving nannies to care for her, to hold her each day, and give her time and attention. I prayed for her health, for sufficient food and for her to continue to develop on track. I prayed for God to prepare the way for her here as she moves home with us and grows up in America. She's so far away and she's going to change so much before I get to see her again. Our agency tries to give photo updates but my case worker said they're not real reliable. I can't do anything but pray...and pray...and pray.
Psalm 68:19-20 "Praise be to the Lord, to God our Saviour, who daily bears our burdens. Our God is a God who saves..."
And I'm doing something else. On Thursday I painted her bedroom pink. :) I know, it could totally be a while and really I'm not even sure her crib will go in this room. It might just be where we move her to a big bed. But it was really fun. It turned out a little more pink than I wanted. But, it's cute. And it's not blue! :)

bring on the pink. How fun. So great to actually "do something" to prepare for her arrival. Can't wait to sneak a peek at her.
Beautiful name!! Good luck on the waiting, we'll keep praying. When can I see her picture?
OK, that does not look that bright at all!
I just got teary eyed reading about your sleepless nights. It's hard. But you're right, you just pray, and pray...and pray some more.
And we're right beside you praying along for sweet, sweet Jada.
LOVE, LOVE the name Jada!! Darling pink--it doesn't look too pink to me! Congratulations again!
Love the name & the room!! I have been asking Tracie to see a picture so as soon as I meet up with her I get to see this beautiful girl!! I am praying that she is very well taken care of!!
Love the pink! How refreshing to finally have some pink in your house!!! The furniture turned out really nice to! I can't wait to see the distressing you did to it. It looked SO different just painted white!
