Another delay!

Well yesterday in Vegas went well. We had the opportunity to have lunch with Chelsea ( the birthmom) and that was a lot of fun. We really enjoyed the time with her and I think we all feel much more at ease about everything now. Josh and i spent the rest of the afternoon running some errands and preparing for the "the big day". Then we turned in pretty early and we actually both got a good night's sleep. But in the morning as we were getting ready we got a text message from Chelsea saying that she wasn't going to be induced today because they ran out of room at the hospital. So we were all pretty bummed to say the least but we are trying to make the best of it. We are trusting that God has this all in His plan and maybe He has some reason for this that we can't see. Chelsea didn't know if they were going to reschedule her but she said she would keep us posted. We don't think anything will happen over the weekend unless the baby decides she wants to make an appearance on her own! Our prayer is that they will induce early next week if the baby doesn't come sooner. We are trying to maintain a positive outlook but this means we'll be out here a lot longer than we thought we would be and the travel expenses are already starting to pile up on top of an already expensive adoption process. And Josh only has limited vacation time so it is our hope that he doesn't have to use up all of this time off on this trip. But we are remaining prayerful and we know that God will take care of us. We are so blessed to even be able to be where we are so we are trying to not even be concerned about the details.

So we'll keep everyone posted. I guess we have some more free time to enjoy before our lives really change. We are not really "Vegas" type people but I am sure we can find some things to do while we wait.

Thanks for all of your prayers and encouragement! One of these days, we'll have a baby ( and a good story to share with her when she gets older!)

Josh and Jen -

I love the blog idea. Josue and I hope to do the same with our baby, but I haven't gotten around to setting it up yet! Five weeks to go for us! I'm sorry to hear about the many delays, but glad to see that you're not discouraged. God will work all things out for the best no doubt. We will pray that all goes well this coming week and that your baby girl arrives soon. Congratulations! We're so very happy for you both.

Josh/Jen:

We're praying for you guys here at Evergreen. Glad you hit if off so well with the birth mother. Enjoy your "free" time; it's almost over (but it'll be great when you can bring that little one home). We look forward to hearing about everything when you get back. See you soon.

Jen,

I hope everything is going well in Las Vegas for the both of you. I'm sure that you are getting pretty anxious. We miss all of you already and we cannot wait to have all 4 of you back at home. Love you all

Desi, Colin, and Christian.

P.S. You are all in our prayers!
