Such a beautiful sentiment

Keeping it a Surprise

As I mentioned previously, we have all decided to keep the gender of the little one a surprise. In the vein of this tradition, we also thought we'd keep the "coming home" outfit a surprise and have multiple options. Each option is prepared to be suitable for a boy or a girl! We love them all, they are too darn cute!

Not just another day

This morning I woke up to a beautiful text message reading "Happy Mothers Day" from the birthmother. I am so taken back by the thought and heart that was put into that message. It brings tears to my eyes that this birthmother took the time to think of me today. I will cherish the message and continue to pray that this is meant to be.

Another star aligned

After many discussions with the birth mother and father, we realized the same country artist they are friends with and grew up in their little town, posted on his facebook February 21st that he was playing The Grand Ole Opry! Playing the Grand Ole Opry tonight with Chuck Wicks, Diamond Rio & more NOT only were we at The Grand Ole Opry that evening enjoying an amazing backstage show but we were matched on February 21st! If my previous phone would not have just died, I guarantee you he'd pop up in one of my many photos from that night! This is yet another sign for the books that this was Meant To Be .

Just another sign that "We Belong Together"

When I first felt you in her tummy, this is the song that was playing!

We Belong Together
we belong together like the open seas and shores wedded by the planet force we've all been spoken for

A weekend in Dallas

This past weekend we spent an amazing weekend in Dallas with the birth mother and birth father. We began our weekend at Dick's Last Resort which we all realized was quite a nice ice breaker with the silliness of the waiters. Following lunch, we went to Six Flags over Texas where I realized how terrified I am of roller coasters. Kutter and I rode about 4-5 roller coasters all day and we fit in some games for Morgan and Jeremy along the way. Then we ended the evening with a dinner at The House of Blues, a meet and greet with Gavin and his show at the House of Blues. Morgan was beyond excited about the evening we had and it radiated through her smile. During the show, she let me feel the little one kick. It was so cool to experience that with her. To top it off, the baby began kicking during "We Belong Together." I'll take that as my sign! :) We had such an amazing day we weren't ready for it to end. We decided to meet for lunch Saturday and spend the afternoon visiting the museums. We definitely had some serious conversations along the way and asked all of the questions we needed to ask. We all feel so blessed to be in this together. We are taking this one day at a time but we are hopeful for this adoption with this couple.
