Here She Is!

Home: We still can't believe it! The 30 days are passed and legal papers have been filed. We should be finalized sometime in February! She has been a joy. I think she is going to be very independent and will just want to take off running. You should see her try to hold her bottle, push it away and then try to get it back. Very uncoordinated but nonetheless she is trying!

I know most know the story but here goes..... We received a call from the agency the same day I cancelled surgery to start IVF (which I think in the back of my mind, all along, for moral reasons was against it). Since we had 3 placements fall through we were not totally convinced it would happen and just went on with life and well.... got 2 puppies in June 18, 2008. The puppies were born on April 18, 2008. Then I was later told that the baby would be born on August 18. The number 18 just kept popping up everywhere! I noticed in August that most of my bills were due on August 18. I told my mom that I really think this baby is going to be born on August 18 and that for some reason this was going to happen! And here we are today!

I'm trying to catch up, learning to be a mom, and enjoying every minute because I know how fast time will go. Dan is even more ecstatic! I will post more to keep this blog updated!
