I can remember faintly how the days were so long and dark adn I went from med to med and doctor to doctor with the hopes of having a child and the countless doors that were closed with no answers!! I adventually had a son and then suffered infertility again and the day my daughter was placed in my arms the pain was a distant again!! Adoption is a wonderful and beautiful journey! COngrats again and I'll pray you can go home soon!

I've thought the same thing and meant to tell you... what a sweet blessing. :)<br /><br />I love the line about Ben dressing Ty... it's that instant boy bond between dads and sons! Awesome for the mom to witness!<br /><br />I love to hear that you've become a laid back mom, contrary to all expectations... I feel the exact same about myself, and it is MUCH more enjoyable this way. <br /><br />And especially, I LOVE the conversations that are already taking place between you and Ty. He will one day know how deeply you love him and how desperately you waited for him... and how he erased your pain with his first tiny cry!<br /><br />Can't WAIT for you to come home!

I mean, NOW! Hehe!<br /><br />Being a mom is the greatest joy. You can't even put it into words. I truly feel that my wait and struggle to get here allows me to be the best mom I can be and allows me to soak up ever moment (even those three am feedings!) with joy! <br /><br />Congratulations again.
