7 Months

YAY! 7 months down!

*high five*

I am treating myself to a pedicure tonight. With this attitude change I completely deserve it.

*patting myself on the back*

Yesterday I was able to spend most of the day with John in a very peaceful place. I thought about how lucky I am to be in this wait...not too long ago I thought it would never happen and I would never see my baby girl's face. But, now I am seven months closer to her. These are seven months I never have to re-do.

In these seven months I have made lifelong friends all across the globe. I've realized what a small world it really is and how connected we are to one another.

I've shopped for girlie things that were for my A (not just for someone else's shower gift).

I've read books on adoption, books on China, books on raising girls.

I've read your blogs everyday - I've felt inspired by them, I've cried with them, I've rejoiced with them, I've laughed with them.

I've watched my boys grow. They have made me laugh, cry, yell, and have left me speechless.

I've felt my love for John grow - even still in almost 11 years of marriage. He's made me laugh and cry (and yell)...he's comforted me when I ache for my daughter.

I've been through a myriad of emotions - and each time I end up happy.

My life is good...and I am grateful.

These 7 months have been priceless.
