You Found Us

What a sweet experience it has been for me to go back and read the last letter I wrote to you. You see, that day in the temple when I heard you tell me you were coming, was right around the same day your birth mommy found out she was pregnant with you. Life is full of little, big, and in-between miracles.

It's nearly 5 a.m. and I've been awake since 2 a.m. because your Aunt Karen is in labor with who will be your twin cousins. I'm so proud of her for her strength, courage, optimism, and persistence. And your Uncle Bryan! Well, aside from me loving him just about more than anyone else in this world, he is just plain ol' awesome and I can not wait to see him be a daddy!

Speaking of daddies. You're going to have the best one! He is so anxious to meet you and he talks about you often! I think he has the maternal instincts in our family because he thinks of things that I should be thinking of and he's nesting way more than I am! He's building you a crib and some play things.

Your birth mommy is living with us right now which is such a blessing. We're getting to know you, through her, and we sure love her. She's fun, talkative, helpful, honest, brave, and full of life.

I can't believe that in just 2 month's time I will be holding you in my arms. We've waited a long time for you, but I am certain you will be worth the wait. Thank you for coming to us. We love you and we can't wait to meet you.

With all my love,

Mommy
