Almost, but not quite

We almost had the chance to adopt a baby girl....we had only found out this girl was pregnant on March 5th (she had been in denial about her pregnancy and hid it from everyone) and that she was going to give the baby up for adoption....Hubby and I discussed it and let her know that we would be interested in adopting the baby if it was a girl. She went in on Wednesday, March 10th and found out she was having a girl. I was excited, but was also feeling like this wasn't meant to be.

She was given a due date of April 8th.

Well, we thought we would have a little longer to think it over, but as it turned out, her water broke that evening (March 10th) and she delivered her baby girl on Thursday, March 11th. I had been on the fence about it from the get-go, and after talking to hubby, we decided it wouldn't be the best for our family to adopt another child at this time....but, it turns out, she is considering parenting the baby anyway....which we're extremely happy about....cuz it kinda takes that "did we make the right decision?" thought away. We weighed the pros and cons of adding to our family and we came up with more cons than pros....which confirmed our decision that we are done. No more kids for us. We're extremely happy with our two precious kiddos!

Other than that, we have had absolutely NOTHING happening in our lives. It's the same ol' thing day in and day out. Go to work/school, come home, clean house/play (the kids...not me...lol), eat, watch a little t.v., then off to bed before starting it all over again the next day! BORING!

I wish we had more of a social life. Maybe this summer will be more exciting (I hope!).
