Well...the waiting is over...she's finally here! December 18th we went and picked up our sweet little girl. I can't begin to explain the amazing day. We thought that it would never come and God continues to show us that He has us in the palm of His hand...even when our faith falls short. I remember that our case worker here in Nashville told us to pretend as though it wasn't going to happen and to go on with our lives...but I couldn't do that because not only was it giving up on our daughter, but it was giving up on God and what He has the power to do.
She was born at 5 lbs. 13 oz. and is heavenly...dimples the size of Texas when she smiles. Her eyes light up every single time you look at her. She immediately responded to us as if she knew who we were, we know that God had has loving arms wrapped around our little family so that she would bond to us quickly.
Our sweet Bug has her moments of love and not so much love. :) It's been an adjustment for her, as it is for every child. We've been a little bit more cautious with her as she has limitations on how she can convey her emotions...but there have been precious moments between the two of them and Layla just stares at Bug with the sweetest gaze.
We look forward to watching them grow together. We are just so very blessed to have two beautiful girls and glad to have Doo home!
She is absolutely beautiful! Congratulations! I am sure Kate will be a wonderful big sis.
