Time in a bottle



Well last night I stayed awake for over an hour after I had turned the T.V. off. I thought I was ready to go to sleep, but I guess my mind had other plans. I couldn't stop thinking about the up coming court date for both us and A.J.'s birth mother. Was she going to take back her decision to give her child up for adoption? Was our MOWA letter going to be present at court? Is this adoption story going to have a happy ending? All these thoughts played over in my head again and again all night. Somehow after over an hour of me playing out every scenario in my head I fell asleep. When I woke up I decided that I would only think happy positive thoughts about seeing our little girl, however I have already broken that vow. One day lacking until our preliminary court hearing and only 6 days until we travel. Please pray with me that we will get to bring home our little A.J. very quickly and that all will go well with court. I know I have asked that several times but it's very important and it needs to be said more than once. We love you baby girl! -Mama 2 be!

Single digits!



We are finally in the single digits!!! Only 8 more days and then we are off to see our beautiful girl! I am becoming so anxious it's crazy!! I can't believe we will actually be holding our little girl soon! I still feel like this is all a dream of course I know it's not, but who really gets to travel to Ethiopia and see their daughter for the first time???? It doesn't even sound like it could really happen! Wow I love this little girl already!! -Mama 2 be!

Changing it up




Okay so I'm sure you've noticed that the number went from 15 to 12 in a day lol! Well I have decided to change the numbers to reflect the number of days left until we leave for Ethiopia rather than the number of days until we land in Ethiopia. I realized that we may not have internet access to blog the last two days seeing as how we will be traveling. So, yeah 12 days!!!! -mama 2 be!!
