in the womb

(7 months)

I've been thinking a lot lately about the fact that right now our baby is growing inside his mother. I wonder about how she is doing. What is her life like? Is she in love? Is she hungry? Is she tired? Does she have other children? Is she happy? What will lead her to have to make such a difficult decision as to place her child for adoption?

If our dossier gets to Ethiopia in the beginning of March (I'm using worst-case scenarios for all our estimates here) and we get a referral four months later (July) for a four month old (we're requesting under 6 months) then this would make our baby approximately seven months right now! He could be born end of February??? I know, I know, these are all just numbers and who knows how old he will be at the time of referral. BUT, the point is, he is growing inside of someone right now. How amazing. We're already praying for you baby! we love you.
