Wow....

I am still in shock and disbelief. Funny though my stress/migraine headache I've had since April doesn't seem to be around anymore. However the stomach doing cartwheels has intensified. I've wanted to be a mom for as long as I can remember and now I'm just days away from meeting my daughter. I'm excited, scared, nervous you name it.

This was Eric's chemo week and as he left the office Thursday, he stopped by my door and laughed a little. (which is a good thing this week) He told me once again, "your life is going to change". Oh, I know that but like I told him it's not like I have some wild social life. I mean all you have to do is look at my blog. I tend to sit down to do entries around 10:30PM or later. Now that's a social life. :-) And yes, I will now be responsible for another person. I look forward to caring for her, teaching her, watching her grow and most importantly just loving her. I hope and pray I will be a good mom to her.

I'm sure as the hours tick by before I leave I'll get more nervous and excited. I guess this is "adoption labor". As I said before, I will be taking my laptop with me to post some pictures. Check back soon.

Congrats Sarah, I am a first time mom too. I adopted my beautiful son, Jacob, through Decolores too(I got your blog address from the FDB group). Get ready for the most exciting trip of your life. I still remember the feelings as we landed in Guat City to pick up our son....awesome. And when I saw his precious face for the first time...there are no words. Have fun and enjoy every detail of your trip. THE HARD PART IS DONE, AND YOU SURVIVED...GO GET THAT BEAUTIFUL BABY GIRL and enjoy the AWESOME blessing that the rest of your life will be with your precious little Charlotte. I'll be praying for ya'll!!!

God Bless,
