OCTOBER 15TH

I haven't blogged for almost a month.  We've been busy!

October 15th was a good day.  Good enough to blog about.  In the afternoon I went to a friends house to meet her sweet baby Quinne for the first time.  This little baby girl is precious.  Newborns are the sweetest. I stayed for a few hours and got an insanely good arm workout while holding her.  For real.  I was super sore the next day.  New moms are hard core.  I'm not joking... I could barely lift my arms the next day... Ha.  So while I was there I got a text from Lane...

I knew this was coming.  Our agency told us earlier in the week that they'd be sending us a video of our baby boy.  I kind of tried to forget about it because I didn't want to get my hopes up.  But it came.  I drove home shaking with excitement.  It was finally time to see our little guy in action.  To see his sweet face and hear his sweet voice.  I ran into the house.  Lane had the video ready but hadn't watched it yet which I was super excited about.  The second that video started my heart skipped a beat.  Our baby.  I know I've said this already but GEEEEZ!!!  HE. IS. PERFECT.  I fell in love with him even more within seconds of watching that video.  A few minutes in I looked over at Claire.  Her eyes were full of tears and she kept saying "He's sooo cute.  He's the cutest baby in the world."  And then she cried and said, "I want baby brother to come home!"  My heart broke into a million pieces right there.  

The video is seven minutes long.  Seven minutes that I could watch over and over and over again.  I've watched it a lot.  And I'll keep watching it.  Every time I watch it I laugh because he is so sweet and I tear up because I love him and my heart breaks because I miss him sooo much.  I want him home so badly.  Our family is not complete.  I'm hoping and praying that this won't take another year!  But that is just what I want and maybe not what God has in mind.  Who knows.  I just need to be patient.  I need to be content in knowing that this is just the beginning and that this little guy is part of family forever and that he is meant to be with us and HE WILL get here.

I wish so badly that I could share pictures because I'm so proud to call him my son.  But I can't.  If I see you in person I'll gladly show you his sweet face!  

So that's the latest on our sweet boy.  

And another blog is coming soon.  Tomorrow is Faye's 3rd birthday!  She gets a post all to herself!
