The sun was shining today, which meant one thing for us...PLAYING OUTSIDE! We started in the front yard. Joshua walked down the sidewalk towards the gravel driveway, then BOOM! He hit the gravel face forward. My stomach churned and my heart stopped (I think) as he screamed still face down. I picked him up and he planted his head into my chest. Thank the Lord, he didn't have any significant wounds, just some read marks. I don't even think he's bruised. I thought my heart would break. I gave him his paci, and he was okay. We went out a little longer to play with his little tikes basketball goal (thanks Aunt Ruth and Uncle Steve!).
His nap time is around 11:30-12:00 now so once he went down for a nap, I read my Bible and drifted off to sleep as well. I haven't been feeling great for the past couple of days. More tired than usual. Easily nauseated. Feeling, well, pregnant to be frank.
So after Joshua woke up, we decided to take a trip to the store. 1. I was so ready to get out of the house after not going anywhere for a couple of days. 2. Well, I thought a pregnancy test wouldn't hurt.
We drove to Senoia for the afternoon. Outings with him are challenging, but I must say he is a sweet little friend. He did will riding in the stroller. We transitioned back and forth between him riding and walking. He is fascinated with steps, so we bought a Cliff bar from one of the shops, sat on the bench together and shared it, then practiced walking up and down one sidewalk step. He also pulled a lantana bloom off of one plant and held it for the longest time. Sorry Senoia :/
I intended to window shop with him in the stores that were open (most of them are closed on Mondays). I saw the bike shop was open and thought since we had some time to kill I would talk to the guy about bikes. Nathan and I would like to ride bikes at Callaway since we have our membership now. As you can imagine it's quite costly purchasing the bikes and equipment. So, I've been looking for a used two-seater Burley that converts to a jogging stroller. AND the bike shop just so happened to have what we've been looking for at a great price. I've been pricing them on craig's list and new, and we're very pleased with what we paid for a practically new Burley with accessories.
Did I mention it's a two-seater...just perfect for Joshua and that certain someone :)
Of course as soon as I got home I took the pregnancy test. We're NOT pregnant.
I think it's my nerves. I want to get an email SOOOOOO badly that informs us we're ready for the next step with our adoption. For some reason, I'm praying that it will come by Friday and believe that it will happen. I trust His timing.
Tomorrow I plan to go to Fayette, Meriwether and Lee (AL) county offices tomorrow to have notaries authenticated. Then once we get our last document I'll travel to Fulton County for its authentication.
Even though BCS told us their offices were closed today, I found myself a little anxious when I checked my email this morning (as if something could come through)...you know, sometimes people work on their off days ;)
