Christmas.....

Well the big day has come and gone....alot of excitement, alot of work....

I got one present left under the tree.......

When we first started this adoption journey in February.....we thought that we might be in the midst of finalizing everything at Christmas......well....we are still waiting, which is fine - it's God's timing and not mine....I'm cool with that....Okay, Okay....I'm trying to be.

Funny thing, throughout this whole journey I have compared it to being prego....it has ALOT of similarities, however....even though I was not a fan of being pregnant....I was fine with my babies staying in my womb for as long as possible.  I knew they were safe there and I really loved just having them to myself for that bit.

With Maggie it is different....the world has her now and I just want her here.  I want this part of the journey to be done.  I'm ready for three kids (okay - as ready as I can be and thanks to all of you who try to scare me about the whole three kid thing)

I just want it to be our 'normal' lil family.

#13

Well.... in one month we have moved up 12 spots..........12 spots!!!!

Drumroll please......

We are now #13.  I don't want to be too dramatic or get over the top here but does anyone else feel the slightest twinge that its getting close!!!
    
We can't wait to see the face of our daughter and I know the hard part will be seeing her precious face and then having to wait to bring her home.....but for as nervous and scared as I am....and I am....I'm kinda ready for the waiting to be over.
