Little one,
It's been nine long weeks since we've had updates on how you're growing and learning new things. We long to have new photos of you and know how much you weigh now. I worry that you'll have changed so much in a little over two months that I won't recognize you. I'll bet you've learned to roll over, and I wonder if you're started teething already.
Sometimes I go into your room and lay down on the floor in front of your crib, wondering what it would be like to just lay there and listen to you sleep. We can't wait to have you home.
Love,
Mama

Your mention of lying on the floor near Hannah's empty crib brought a lump to my throat. Waiting is to heartbreakingly hard.
ReplyDelete...On a lighter note, the nursery is just beautiful! You are so creative and talented! I love your blog design too! It is the best design I've ever seen! I wish I had a touch of your talent!
Laying on the floor in front of her crib, brought tears to my eyes. I remember the heartache, yet anticipation of waiting....and you are right, you will do this again while she is sleeping and thank the Lord over and over for sending you the most precious gift ever!!! There is nothing like a sleeping angel!! It WILL happen soon and we'll pray for an update REALLY soon :)
ReplyDeleteOh, I hope you get an update soon!! Better yet, travel soon : )
ReplyDeleteI remember in our journey to Annslee our referral pics were taken when she was 6 months old and we never got any updates. When we finally met her at 13 months old we thought they handed us the wrong baby! It was kind of weird not recognizing your own child LOL
Sarah, are the Hannah pictures on your website from 9 weeks ago?
ReplyDeleteI hope you get an update soon!! Hope you get to travel before the year's end!!
The most recent photos (where there's a pacifier right next to her ear) were taken on 6/4 and we got them on 6/25.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, how sweet. She is a doll. I hope you get updated pictures soon.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet letter. HC will enjoy reading this when she is older.
ReplyDeleteHey! Wouldn't it be cool if Hannah Claire adopts a baby and then she can let HER daughter read the letters that you wrote while waiting for her?!
So...how cool would that be?
That's what i think of when I read all of these journals to these children. It really is something that future generations of your family will share.
Awesome.
xoxo,

I totally can feel your pain. I'd lay by Kobi's crib crying all the time and read his books to just the room. Its so hard to not hear anything but dont worry all this to shall pass and you'll be on a plane soon enough:) Hang in there lady... If you need anything just call:)
ReplyDelete***Sending Cyber Hugs!***
I read the happy news first, then this post. Girl, I know that feeling... looking around the room, waiting for some sign that it would actually happen. It happens. It really does honest and truly happen.
ReplyDeleteXOXO
Lying on the floor... deja vu! I do that every night and sometimes in my mind I can see little imaginings of her jumping up and down in her crib or imagine her playing peek-a-boo through the bars or screaming her head off with arms-outstrecthed needing to be held. Or reaching in to touch her hand while she sleeps but scared to wake her so sitting as close as you dare just smelling her, taking it all in. I'm so sorry for your pain. You actually just made me feel normal... I thought I was beginning to go crazy.
ReplyDeleteOH honey! Been there done that! Jer's adoption was hard when it came to that one.. it was like waiting to breathe!!! I hope your courts go quickly so that you can go and get her soon!!!!
