Marlee has a number!



At 1:30 today we got a call from AGCI saying we were officially on the waitlist at Number 121! And in the above picture I'm working on making a countdown banner! We were all in the car on the way home from the church and I said "Yea!!! Hooray!! wow, that's the biggest number I've heard of yet!" So our parameters on the 'girls waitlist' are no. 121 for an infant girl 0-12 months old! Marlee may have a number now, but she was and always will be much more than a number to us. She's being wonderfully made by our loving Father in her birthmother's womb. We are so excited to be waiting on you, Marlee!

And Isn't this bib adorable?! It was sent to me from a dear friend, Kat, from Uganda! Thank you so much Kat! You are so thoughtful and it came yesterday-when I really needed the encouragement :) AND it will match perfectly with the fabric you got me so she'll have a matching bib and outfit from you in Africa!

  4. YAY!!! I am just thrilled that ya'll are officially waiting on sweet Marlee! I can't wait to watch her number drop lower and lower every month! When we got on the waitlist last September at #93, that was the biggest number I had ever heard of too! But I knew that was God's perfect number to match us with our Caroline...just like 121 is perfect for Marlee! Let's go celebrate soon!!! :)
