Thanks to the generosity of others who have gone before me or are in the process now, I have had a lot of contact with those who enjoy sharing their story. It is getting over whelming for me. I feel like someone who is dating too many people and is screwing up names or important facts on each date they are on. With one woman, I said “What part of New Jersey are you in?” and she told me she was in Washington state. yikes!
These moms are being so generous with me, with emails, shared blogs, offers of phone calls. I began a list with all my contacts and their information and how I found them so that I can get all my ducks in a row, so to speak.
Still a few more calls will be made this week. This “laying low” business, it’s just not working for me because I have discovered that research and contacts begets research and contacts. It is never ending and absolutely great. And tiring.
And so it’s off to bed after a great Halloween with my girls. Feeling very content with where I am in my life right now. I don’t feel desperate to have a third child. Rather, I feel so blessed, so grateful and so content that it feels very very right to open our arms and hearts wide to accept another child into our lives. Will my plate be full? Yes, very full. But they are not babies forever, and a big family is really what I always wanted later on down the road. It will be worth it in the end.
Life is good.
