The Call!!!

After a very long week, last week, and feeling the weight of this very long journey, I was awake this morning at 3 am. ...unable to go back to sleep with the anticipation of knowing when, just when will I see my newest baby boy. I knew that his visa was going to be issued, just didn't know when our agency would call with the news. So I waited.

I officially got out of bed this morning after drifting in and out of sleep, the weight on my chest was deep. I decided to keep E home from school again today...to keep him healthy for a trip I wished was soon. Ben left for work and I began to pace. I couldn't sit still, I couldn't do work, I couldn't do much of anything. In all of our years in the adoption journey, I have never really seen travel calls on Monday, and was having a hard time grasping this reality. But felt for sure we would hear something on Tuesday. Still...I felt like that I couldn't relax until after 10am, since Ezra's call came at 9:30. I went downstairs and decided that I would light the boys' candle. I have a 3 wick candle for them, representing their birthmoms, thier foster family and of course us. Hoping that the scent would fill my house and help me to relax.

My sister called about 9:15 and I literally jumped!! But when I looked at the caller id, alas it wasn't our social worker...so I filled Lynne's ears with my anxious tone of worry. As we were talking, the phone rang..at 9:32, it was Jan!!! Music to my ears..Lincoln is finally ready to come home.

Baby boy we are on our way to see you on your 9 month birthday!! Ezra my love you will turn three in Korea!! And Mommy and Daddy are so excited to finally become a family of 4!! Look out Korea here we come!!
