I've been reminding myself to breathe in and out all day.
Our hopes and prayers are answered... today was the day we've been waiting on for almost 2 years.
I'm stuggling to get into words how I am feeling. Today, we have shed tears of joy and sighed in sheer fascination as we stare at the photos of our daughter on the other end of the world. She is glorious and when I can I will share photos (password protected for friends and family). Tonight though we have hockey practice and we haven't even told the kids yet. I am waiting for Shaune to bring Chloe home so we can tell her and Keaton (who is watching tv downstairs right now probably wondering why his mother is skipping around the house). I can't wait to show them this beautiful little girl who will complete our family ...we've thought of her and talked about her so many times over the past 22 months - is this really finally happening?
I cannot describe this feeling of sheer magical bliss! It's a beautiful life!
