REFERRAL!!!!!!!!!!!

We received our referral call on Monday! Here's our story:

We were surprised to have our referral so soon. I had just emailed our SW about a 1-2 weeks before & asked her how things were going. She said referrals were at 6-8 months with most at the 8 month mark. So we weren't expecting it so soon! Then Monday evening (8/2/10) she called home & my husband was asleep. So she called my cell, but I was on my way home from work & my cell was dead! I couldn't find my car charger, but was like "oh well...I'll be home soon." I get home & my husband comes running out & says "Our agency called & said to call them back! I've been trying to call you on your cell phone!" I ran inside & called our SW back. She was in a meeting & they asked me if I wanted to leave a message. So, I did. Then we had to wait about 30 minutes for her phone call back! That was the longest 30 minutes of my life! I was very tempted multiple times to call her again, but I knew she was busy & she always returns phone calls...so I waited. We weren't sure if it was our referral call or not, but they said they wouldn't call unless they had GREAT news. She finally called back & she said, "I have some great news for you!" We were thrilled to say the least! That night we didn't find out any details...we had to wait until our meeting with our SW on Tuesday @ 12:00. When we went to the meeting we found out first that it was a boy, then all the details about him, & lastly we got to see his sweet face. She said if she showed us his picture first we wouldn't listen to anything else she said!


I can't even describe the joy! So, I'll just post what I journaled on Monday!

"I can't even explain the things I'm feeling right now! Unexplainable joy! :) WE GOT OUR REFERRAL CALL TODAY!!! I can't believe it! It doesn't seem real. We don't have any details at all right now, but will find out tomorrow at 12:00! Yay! We are excited...ecstatic! With this means we have more waiting, oh but we get to see our sweet baby's face tomorrow! I can hardly wait! I hope our baby knows how much we already love them and how when we see them we'll fall even more in love with them. We'll fall in love all over again when we get to hold them in our arms and take them home FOREVER! Thank You Jesus! Thank You for Your love and provision! We're coming baby...just as asoon as we can! Yippe! :) "

Yep...unexplainable joy! I'ts a boy!!!!!!!!! His name is Samuel. He is absolutely precious! Can't wait to have him home forever! He is 5 months old and adorable! The best news is we were told he'd be home in 2-3 months! Yay! Wonderful news! Which means we better get started on his room. He'll be home soon! :)
