We are all snuggled in....

Well.. Madi and I have been home since April 8th and we are having a blast! I have so much more respect for all Mothers out there!!! This is the most rewarding experiece I have ever had. I would never have thought that I would feel the way I feel. I love this baby more than anything in the whole world and now know the true meaning of "Unconditional Love".

To all those out there waiting for your babies. Please be patient. I know sometimes it seems very unfair and sometimes you feel like you just can't take the waiting one more day. But.. The reward in the end is unexplainably, unbelieveable worth it!

Hang in there...

It is so good to hear from you. How is little Madi? I met you in the baby lounge when you were there in March. I adopting Carlos, and I was there with my dd and dh. We live in Florida also. So you have settled in to motherhood? Didn't you have a friend you were traveling with that was also adopting? Did she get her baby home also? Glad to hear you are still around.
