This weekend we enjoyed an amazing online baby shower. Friends from all over gathered to share words, love and what turned out to be a day of laughter and sunshine. It was such an incredible event. Our baby has more aunts and uncles than I have ever realized!
Last night I reflected on how far we've come. This entire process started in April, and here we are now, so close to baby's arrival. People warned us that adoption could take years and years - for many it has. In our case it has been much faster. In fact, it will be about the length of a pregnancy! From start to finish. So we could not be more thankful. I express thanks each night in my prayers.
Baby has another appointment this week so will get to hear their heartbeat again. That's such a meaningful experience. One day soon we will hold baby close and hear that heartbeat ear to chest. What an unbelievable day that will be.
I pray I will be a good mother. If we are half the parents our parents are, this child will be in wonderful care.
Feeling extraordinarily grateful.
