She immediately responded, "YOU'RE PREGNANT???"
"No. EVEN BETTER." And I proceeded to tell her about the possible adoption.
Even better. How sweet the words that came bursting out of my mouth! And it's true! If I were pregnant I'd have to wait nine whole months to meet baby. As it is, I can hardly stand waiting three weeks!
Even better. God is good.

EVEN BETTER!!!
I LOVE IT! The best part is how you answered immediately without faltering by her somewhat rude assumption that "good" news must involve gestating a child ;)
Good for you!! I agree, even better :)
Yay! And trust me... Pregnancy isn't always all it's cracked up to be (says the 27 week pregnant woman waiting to be admitted to the hospital now for a fetal blood transfusion...). Lol
Love you, dear friend!
Hurrah!!! So birth parent meeting went well yesterday?
So excited for you guys!!!!
So so so exciting!!!
I love love your answer. I feel the very same way after our adoption of Josemaria. I am praying for you.
Lauren, I stumbled on your blog a few months ago. I've forgotten how I got here now...I was blog-hopping and somehow landed here:) Anyway, I cannot tell you HOW happy I am for you guys!!!! Abigail is precious, and now another baby?!?! God is so great!!!! We have three precious kiddos and they are the light of our lives. Being a mom is everything I dreamed it would be! CONGRATS to your sweet family!! Lauren (Bosworth) Black
God is good! I guess the birth mother meeting went well yesterday? :)
AHH! So exciting! And I love how easily your answer came out.
You are such a wonderful advocate for adoption, Lauren! Thank you for putting a huge smile on my face today! I cannot wait to join the group of adoptive moms.....hopefully soon!
Love it!!
So happy for you, hubby and Abigail!
That's awesome!
This makes me smile!
This is so beautiful...so telling...so full of so much meaning and history. Indeed, even better. :)
i love it! i'm so excited for you and you're right...it is even better than we all could have imagined! LOVE IT.
even better!! you truly couldn't have planned it better!
Umm... sorry. I gather my reaction was rude. I so didn't mean it that way!
Next time I will say "another baby?" Because that's the exciting news!
And Lisa's right... pregnancy isn't very much fun at all. And giving birth is no great shakes either.
love you!
What a beautiful answer, Lauren! So excited for you!! I Congratulations!!
Congratulations! This is very exciting. I love this "even better" post! In fact, I would love to link it when we get the call for baby #3 (hopefully sooner than in 5 years....). Can't wait to hear how things go!
