Love, love, love!!!

The past two days have been so wonderful! This beautiful and happy little girl now wants me to carry her and wants to sit on my lap. Her feet are as soft as a baby's and when she sits in my lap I can cradle them in my hand. I can smell the baby lotion, rub her back, run my fingers through her hair, drink her all in. She will try to tickle me during nap time and dissolves into laughter when I catch her as she sneaks across the bed. She is such a delight! Every single day is better and better. How in the world did we get this precious child? Of all the families in the world, why do we get to hear her squeals of delight? (Although we think the dogs in the neighborhood must be dying from the high pitch!) And the phrase she is most likely to repeat is "I Love You!"

I spent so many wasted hours wishing we could have gotten her at a younger age, but now that she is in our family I cannot imagine it any other way. God's timing is perfect!

I caught a glimpse of myself carrying her around, kissing her on the neck and spinning her around. It was quite a shock. Who is that old woman with this beautiful child? Oh, my goodness. It must be her grandmother......no, it is me. Uggggh. Seriously? When did that happen?

How I despise mirrors and scales and cameras!

Ultrasound tomorrow. Her motion sickness continues unabated and she loses everything. We just pack up a couple of towels for each trip. Bathroom issues are causing her lots of pain. We would appreciate prayers for these concerns. Thank you so very much!!!
