Living the life we're called to. It’s All About Timing. February 18, 2012. It really is. All about timing. Our timing and God’s timing…and getting those two to fall in line with one another. It has been about a month since we had our last visit with our caseworker and we have been waiting as patiently as possible for her to approve our homestudy. We kept wondering “what is taking so long”. Finally we sent an inquiry by email and waited a bit longer. I can’t believe it! So, again…waiting. Life as a Mom.

Living the life we're called to. April 3, 2012. I have been thinking a lot recently about how I haven’t updated here enough! Mostly I think about it while I am nursing or in the middle of making dinner or while snuggling with my hubby in the evening….none of those times are times I can/want to stop what I am doing and go blog! However, today’s news is big enough to make me disrupt the ‘normal’ routine of our day and write. Tagged With: birth dad. March 9, 2012. Well, IT HAPPENED! We got OUR call! Paul an...

Living the life we're called to. May 29, 2012. I have been thinking a lot lately about our family’s story. This chapter isn’t turning out at all like I had suspected the script was written. Crying, lots of crying. That’s what’s going on at the Kortman house these days. And Zan crys quite often too! Well, yes, he spends almost all of his waking moments crying, but we are able to soothe him occasionally so maybe it’s not colic. Is he uncomfortable from not pooping regularly? So, this is all just a part of ...

Living the life we're called to. April 22, 2012. So far it has been less than idyllic. So far it has been just plain difficult. So far Zander hasn’t been sleeping well at night and we are exhausted. We are, however, holding it together well and Paul and I have only argued once. So far we are working on making more milk so Zander can be healthy and strong. We need him to poo/pee more and start gaining weight. So far reality isn’t nearly as beautiful as ‘the plan’. Rest Mmm, that sounds good. Life as a Mom.
