update on the wait

Since the last time I posted, our agency had 6 referrals for boys (11 referrals total). That's an incredible number for a two week time period (most updates we get have 0-2 referrals for each gender)!! Part of me is scared that it will keep up like this and we will be travelling much sooner than the very soonest I anticipated, but part of me is oh-so-excited to meet our son. Every time I read an adoption story, or see pictures of these children I just long to hold him.

I am, however, a little worried about how Drew will accept being a big brother. He has always been a big mama's boy, but recently he hasn't wanted me out of his site. And whenever he sees me with another child, he tries to push them out of the way. I remember Grace Caroline doing this to her cousin ("get your own mama") when I was pregnant, so I know it's natural. But Drew is much younger now than Grace Caroline was when I was pregnant with Drew. And whenever we try to tell him that we're getting a baby and he's going to be a big brother, he simply says, "No, Mama." So I would ask for prayers for his adjustment to sharing his Mama.
