Profoundness missing

I suppose it is time for a post offering a moment of delving into the recesses of my emotion. It's time for something profound!

Only I just don't know where those recesses are right now. I am trying to access profound, but it is nowhere to be found.

So profound may have to wait for another day. Today, I will access the everyday, the mundane, the completely normal aspects of my existence. I can't find profound.

What can be found is the desire for a nap. Between this nausea and being overly tired (I thought this was just Isaac, but my pregnant friends have informed me that it is pregnancy as well), life is about the day-to-day right now. It's about JB finishing his last week of intern year. It's about making sure the dog is adequately exercised. Good exercise = good puppy. It was about preparing for our post-placement home study which was conducted last night in our home. Tonight our pastor and his wife are coming over to conduct our membership "interview." State Farm keeps calling. They want to meet with us and talk us into getting more insurance. They keep asking when a good time is for them to sit down with my husband. I keep telling them that I am looking for a good time to sit down and talk to him as well. Thursday morning is JB's graduation from his internship program. Thursday evening is a banquet. Saturday is a beach bash. Sunday is "New Members" Sunday at our church. I need to set up a two month appointment for Isaac. I need to pick up my vitamins and iron pills. Existence right now is really all I am focused on. I'm just taking one day at a time.

In other news, today I learned that my son does not like the heat! The wifia went to the splash park with the first year wives. We wanted to introduce ourselves and welcome them to the life of a resident's wife. I got to play in the water with the other kids while Tiffany stayed with Isaac. She was glad I was gung-ho about getting in the water because she certainly wasn't. Isaac really doesn't fuss at all unless he is hungry. Scratch that. He fusses when he is hot. I learned that today. He was hot and didn't like it one bit. I stripped him down to his diaper and he finally fell asleep on Andrea. Poor little guy.

Today, the last member of the wifia got the news that I was expecting. Everyone but Sarah was there today, and Johanna walked up. We told her that not only were Joia and Andrea expecting, but that another wife was as well. She immediately pointed at Tiffany, who shook her head. She didn't even glance at Jodi, who has made her desire to wait to have children quite evident. Then she looked at me. I was all that was left! It was great fun. It's been great fun telling so many people. So many people completely shocked. Including us.

Oh, I wanted to also end this post with the answer to a question we are getting every few hours from nearly everyone. I wanted to let everyone know that our plans to adopt from China have not changed one little bit. For one thing, the wait-time is quite long. I would be surprised if our daughter joined our family before 2011. For another, we have invested a lot of time and money into this adoption. It was the first thing we ever thought of doing when we were unable to have children, and we do not plan to alter that course at all.

Signing out for now. Maybe profound will drop by for a visit tomorrow.
