Guess What!
We are getting a baby boy due September 3!!! I don't even have the words to express how happy we are & it all just seems too good to be true. We were contacted by the most amazing birth mom & have absolutely loved getting to know her. I'm just so in awe of these amazing birth moms who sacrifice so much & are so selfless throughout the whole process. On Sunday we had her over for dinner & met in person for the first time. She put us so much more at ease with her bubbly, fun personality & we absolutely loved her. And then shortly after she left we got a knock at the door and when Tyler opened it, she was standing there with a balloon in hand that said "It's A Boy!" & a bag full of darling baby boy clothes, books & ultrasound pictures. She even brought a gift for Ruby so she wouldn't feel left out! Tyler & I cried & were SO excited! I have the ultrasound pictures on our refrigerator & can't help but stop & stare at them a million times throughout the day. I've hardly slept the past couple nights because all I do is think of him. We just feel SO ready for him to get here! There are so many hard things about the adoption process & yet when this happens I'm reminded that it's all worth it & I truly wouldn't change a thing.
These Two
There is just nothing like seeing the man you love with the baby you love. I think it's safe to say Ruby adores her daddy.
Dancing Cousins
I LOVE seeing these girls having so much fun together! And I think dance lessons are in Ruby's future.
10 Years
Tyler & I sat over dinner on Friday night & celebrated 10 years of marriage. We reminisced about our favorite times together & there were a lot of those. Too many to count, really. This boy of mine has given me a beautiful life & there's no one I'd rather have by my side.
Graduation!
Tyler graduated with his MBA this past weekend & I can't tell you how excited we both are about that. No more late night classes, group meetings, or homework assignments. Ever. Tyler could have cared less if he walked at his graduation but he knew how much it meant to me, so he did it. I was so incredibly proud of him that night I felt like I could burst. Goodbye forever, ASU! You will not be missed.
Ruby's "big smile"
Mother's Day
Yesterday was a good day. One of those incredibly rare days where everything just goes perfectly. And throughout the day I couldn't seem to stop myself from looking at Ruby & feeling overwhelmed with gratitude that I get to be her mom. She'll never understand just how much it means to me when she calls me 'mommy" but I hope she'll always know that I love being her mom.
