Ugh...I have tears in my eyes and I feel like my heart is going to squeeze itself to bursting. I know that moment...so well. That moment when you get to meet your child, hold them for the first time, believe that the dream of motherhood might really be coming true. Every time I think about meeting my daughter my stomach still drops...20 months later and I still remember every detail like it was yesterday. I can still feel her warmth and weight...still smell the hospital blankets. I'm so happy that you had that amazing moment too.
What an AMAZING day that was! I got goose bumps all over again looking at your pictures. And now he is all YOURS. No one can ever take him away. Isn't that amazing?!
My name is Lisa and I live with my husband, our three cats, two guinea pigs, and our baby boy.
After almost 8 years of trying to start a family- surgeries, infertility treatments, endometrial cancer, a radical hysterectomy, and a two year adoption wait- we finally brought Jay home in 2010.
I used to run a before and after school program for school-age children, but now I work from home so I can be with Jayden. I watch kids part time in our home and have an Etsy shop- So Much To Celebrate - that keeps me busy.
