Today we found out what Cook Baby #2 will be.
It was probably 2011 and we were at dinner with our friends. Their daughter Mahi(maybe 3 or 4 at the time)looked at me and said, "God is going to give you a son". We laughed at her and she replied, "I am serious!"
Well, Mahi called it.
I didn't grow up with boys and I am not sure what to do with them. This will be a new adventure and God has surely surprised me. This is the first boy in our family!
A boy! A son!
Crazy!

One Year.
I can't believe it. My baby is one. The baby I doubted would come is here and turning more and more into a big girl each day.
On top of the immeasurable blessing she is, I am pregnant with a baby I REALLY thought would never come.
Driving to Emily's party, I couldn't help but feel more blessed than I deserve.
All those tears. All those angry shouts at God. All the while He was just arranging all i have to fit His timing.
The adoption wait can be grueling. It can break your heart.
These days my heart is broken for a different reason.
I am broken before a God that would choose to love me so deeply.
With all my doubt and all my fear, He still gives such good gifts.
If you are waiting for a child through adoption or pregnancy, don't lose hope.
It will happen and it will be a blur and the next thing you know you'll be singing Happy Birthday.
