I know my post on Friday was a little heavy. Trust me, I wasn’t even going to post it.
I’m not having another baby. We’re done.
But notice I have only ruled out having another BABY.
A few things happened over the weekend that I do NOT consider just coincidence. These things do not just happen.
I was in Kohl’s yesterday afternoon (yes I shop there a lot) because I had to buy my oldest daughter a couple pairs of black tights. There was a pregnant lady in line in front of me waiting to check out. Care to guess what baby outfit was on the top of her pile of purchases?
Yes, that one I was obsessed with.
Weird.
Another weird thing that happened. I have checked in on Facebook a couple times in the last week, and was confused by an invitation I received to an event. It was sent to me by someone I had never heard of, and the event? It was a get-together in my area for people who have adopted or are THINKING ABOUT adoption.
Really?
I looked up the name of the person that sent me the invite, and it was the gal in charge of adoptions in my area for Iowa KidsNet, who also operates the website I have mentioned here and here.
How did she know to send the invite to me? I subscribe to the Kidsnet site, and I am notified whenever a new child is added that is looking for a “forever family.”
“Forever family.” I don’t know why, but hearing that phrase makes me tear up every time.
It’s crazy. The day after I posted something very revealing about myself, that required me to go WAY outside of my comfort zone to share with the blogworld, her invitation shows up.
Maybe it’s just sheer coincidence.
OR… Maybe these are just HUGE completely UN-subtle ways of telling me we are ready for this.
