5 Months.....

Here we are at 5 months in the wait for KB too!! We thought we'd creatively make the #5 out of our Christmas stockings this month.
The wait continues to get alittle harder for me each month that goes by. My head knows that this wait could be long, but my heart wants it to be over and to see what the next chapter is for us. I find myself in a bit of a weird place...wishing the months away so that we can see KB too, yet wanting the months to slow down so that Jae-min stays this little forever. Its a hard mix.
We have begun to plan and dream about our next trip to Korea. I have started alittle notebook with sights we want to see, things we want to do this time around, and even stuff we want to buy when there. Its fun to plan and think about the future. Joe even added in some foods he wants to try this time around.
Tonight we loaded up the car and took a drive around town to see the Christmas lights. We listened to holiday music and heard "ooh sparkly, ooh pretty. ooh reindeer" from the backseat. I will cherish these moments with our son forever, always remembering the journey that brought him home and knowing that all we go through this time around will bring us to the perfect child meant for us.
5 months down.....I wonder how many more to go?

It is so tough, you want time to fly and stand still! I find myself wanting to know when we will be on the wait list again and dreaming of Korea too! I think this time around is more difficult bc we know how great it is.

I think for us the wait is easier this time because we have Jae-min to enjoy and love. I try and not think about it, but then find myself wondering what the next baby will be like. Just keep saying prayers that the wait will soon be over and you'll have your referral soon.
You have five months behind you already!!
Can't wait for another grandchild! Love the new picture.
Love, Mom & Dad M
