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&#8217;ll be with us for Christmas &#8211; I pray it is so &#8211; everyone should be with their family for Christmas!<\/p>\n<p>I wonder if she&#8217;ll join us while she is still young enough to enjoy a sling &#8212; I wish I knew about them when J2 was so little and so fretful.  I didn&#8217;t know about the benefits of attachment parenting back then &#8211; but I knew what my little guy needed to feel peaceful.  I learned to do so much with one arm&#8230;a sling would have made things so much easier.  J3 was almost too big for a sling when he joined our family&#8230;.of course, it still didn&#8217;t occur to me that a sling would be helpful.  It wasn&#8217;t until Joshua was born &#8211; and J3 was only 15 mos old &#8211; that I realized being one-armed-momma was not going to work!  A friend made me some slings and it was perfect!!<\/p>\n<p>I wonder if she has wavy blonde hair like J1 or straight dark hair like J2 &amp; J3.  I wonder if she even has hair.<\/p>\n<p>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&#8217;ll be scrambling for a new name like we did for J2.<\/p>\n<p>I wonder is she sleeps fitfully like J2 or solid like J1 &amp; J3.<\/p>\n<p>I wonder if her laugh will sound like her brothers.<\/p>\n<p>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!<\/p>\n<p>So, I&#8217;m in limbo &#8211; have I said how much I dislike being in limbo?<\/p>\n<div class=\"sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled\"><div class=\"robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-official sd-sharing\"><h3 class=\"sd-title\">Share this:<\/h3><div class=\"sd-content\"><ul><li class=\"share-facebook\"><div class=\"fb-share-button\" data-href=\"http:\/\/osbornz.net\/amy\/?p=727\" data-layout=\"button_count\"><\/div><\/li><li class=\"share-pinterest\"><div class=\"pinterest_button\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fosbornz.net%2Famy%2F%3Fp%3D727&#038;media=http%3A%2F%2Fosbornz.net%2Famy%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2014%2F10%2Fcropped-poppy-150x150.jpg&#038;description=No%20news\" data-pin-do=\"buttonPin\" data-pin-config=\"beside\"><img src=\"\/\/assets.pinterest.com\/images\/pidgets\/pinit_fg_en_rect_gray_20.png\" \/><\/a><\/div><\/li><li class=\"share-twitter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/share\" class=\"twitter-share-button\" data-url=\"http:\/\/osbornz.net\/amy\/?p=727\" data-text=\"No news\" data-via=\"Knitnmom\" >Tweet<\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-tumblr\"><a class=\"tumblr-share-button\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tumblr.com\/share\" data-title=\"No news\" data-content=\"http:\/\/osbornz.net\/amy\/?p=727\" title=\"Share on Tumblr\"data-posttype=\"link\">Share on Tumblr<\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-print\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-print sd-button\" href=\"http:\/\/osbornz.net\/amy\/?p=727\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to print\" ><span>Print<\/span><\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#\" class=\"sharing-anchor sd-button share-more\"><span>More<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-end\"><\/li><\/ul><div class=\"sharing-hidden\"><div class=\"inner\" style=\"display: none;width:150px;\"><ul style=\"background-image:none;\"><li class=\"share-email\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-email sd-button\" href=\"mailto:?subject=%5BShared%20Post%5D%20No%20news&body=http%3A%2F%2Fosbornz.net%2Famy%2F%3Fp%3D727&share=email\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to email a link to a friend\" data-email-share-error-title=\"Do you have email set up?\" data-email-share-error-text=\"If you&#039;re having problems sharing via email, you might not have email set up for your browser.
