Today we are going to rearrange the furniture in the guest room to make it into the baby's room/guest room. It was where our little girl was sleeping. Now almost a week after she left, it is time to give the baby his own room. It is a bittersweet moment. I will be glad for him to have his own room. I'm hoping he starts sleeping better. He has been waking up a lot throughout the night every night. But it is sad that our little girl isn't there anymore. We haven't heard how she is doing. But I pray for her as I think of her throughout the day.
(My dad has been here this week, so that is why we are just now moving the baby into his own room. We have been glad for him being here providing us with things to think about other than losing our little girl).
Rearranging the furniture signifies moving on with our lives. We played a role in our little girl's life. And I hope that one day we will see her again, whether in this life or in Heaven.
I have been concentrating on being thankful for my boys this week. I am so thankful that God has given them to me forever! How precious it is to have children through adoption. I am enjoying the time with them, watching them interact together as brothers. This is our life for probably the next couple of years until we decide to pursue baby number three. And I am enjoying it as it is trying not to wish back the things that I can't change. God has given us two precious boys and gave us the opportunity to love a little girl for a short time. We are blessed!
