Lilypie 1st Birthday Ticker

I was wrong...

So when I am wrong about something I will admit it! We got our home study out to look over before we sent it to our attorney and it said that our date for completed home study was a month later then I thought! SO I have replaced my ticker! It has only been a little over 9 months. We got our Match call on May 30th...which would have been our 9 month and 1 day of waiting...just like a pregnancy!

So now we wait...we wait for our little girl to arrive...I wonder what she will look like...I don't care but I wonder! We have no sonogram of her...we don't know what the birth parents look like...I wonder...I don't care...what ever she looks like she will be ours...ours to hold, kiss, cuddle, play with, teach how to garden...how to cook...HOW TO SHOP!...how to be a wonderful little person...I can't wait to hold her and smell her...I am going to take one long big inhale and smell her and I am going to put that in my memory forever. I haven't seen Jeff this happy in a long time...The TTC or Infertility or Adoption Jounrey takes so much out of you...it wears you down...it trys to break you...but you must stay strong...I LOVE my husband...I can't wait to see him with our daughter. I want him to be the first to hold her...to smell her...to cry on her...to look at me with a tear in his eye...I can't wait! How many days?????? Ok...I am crying AGAIN!!! Will these tears ever stop!!!! I hope not...soon they will be tears of joy...laughter...Hugs and Blessings

Collette-I am so excited for you both! My advice...1) Shop!! 2) Enjoy movies, dinners and sleep now and 3)Get ready to fall in love with her. I am in awe of my two miracle girls every single day!

Reading this made me teary eyed thinking of the first time we held Jacob at the agency!!! And, boy,did I cry and even Wayne did! It is truly a wonderful/overwhelming feeling and you and your hubby will never forget it!
