But I see I never posted the warning. If you are reading this from a RSS feed reader, you won’t notice a thing…but I gave my blog a bit of a seasonal update. I already miss my kids on the header – but maybe when we have our new addition, I’ll update it with 5 KIDS!! oh my – that might take some getting used to! 😉
So, today I updated WordPress – and now I can add color to my posts! Wonder what else I can do?!? Hmmm Darn, still can’t change the font, but I guess I’m ok with that. I’ll have to play around in here and see what else is here.
I’m still knitting like crazy as I wait, so please be sure to check out my knitting blog. And, of course, I’m praying – and I hope you are too! If the last court date was 9/5 then the next court date should be this next week. Which means we could hear something this week…but there is no guarantee! sigh
Well, I’m off to start some socks for J1 – and to pray! 🙂
Last week we had J2’s first Webelos I den meeting:

J3’s first Tiger den meeting:

Yummy’s at our special Movie & Knitting Night:
And, we headed up to my brother and sister-in-law’s house to help -but we didn’t get there until later and we brought the rain! 🙁 My sister-in-law really knocked herself out with lunch:

J3 really enjoyed his lasagna on his french bread:

It’s too early for news. And, I hate being in limbo! In my heart I know she will be my daughter. But there are so many things beyond our control. Not having a timeframe is absolute killer for me. I wonder if she’ll be with us for Christmas – I pray it is so – everyone should be with their family for Christmas!
I wonder if she’ll join us while she is still young enough to enjoy a sling — I wish I knew about them when J2 was so little and so fretful. I didn’t know about the benefits of attachment parenting back then – but I knew what my little guy needed to feel peaceful. I learned to do so much with one arm…a sling would have made things so much easier. J3 was almost too big for a sling when he joined our family….of course, it still didn’t occur to me that a sling would be helpful. It wasn’t until Joshua was born – and J3 was only 15 mos old – that I realized being one-armed-momma was not going to work! A friend made me some slings and it was perfect!!
I wonder if she has wavy blonde hair like J1 or straight dark hair like J2 & J3. I wonder if she even has hair.
I wonder what her name is now. I wonder if the name I have in my heart for her will fit her or if we’ll be scrambling for a new name like we did for J2.
I wonder is she sleeps fitfully like J2 or solid like J1 & J3.
I wonder if her laugh will sound like her brothers.
I wonder if she has any birth defects. Can the miracle of mostly healthy children continue? God truly protects these babies from the lifestyle they are subjected to before they are born!
So, I’m in limbo – have I said how much I dislike being in limbo?
In honor of the day, I headed to the Pirate Name Generator and found our family names:
I’m: Cutthroat Lizzie and I’m married to: Blackspot Scarlett
And my sons: Blackspot Hand, Black Lucas, Black Butch, Yardarm Alderman and hopefully our daughter: Skylarking Eliza
