Our daughter, (that sounds so amazing) is growing and continues to change daily. We celebrated her first birthday, it was such a happy day for us. The memory of our wait for her seems to melt away more and more. I still remember the heart ache of waiting, but now I know why we did and am grateful to have kept with it during the lows.

Waiting somedays is harder than others. This week started out tough and now starting to feel out about waiting a week or so longer. I'm looking forward to knowing what size of clothes to buy!

Sometimes I feel like a great detective, trying to read between the lines of what emails my adoption agency sends out or what the director is really trying to say when I talk to her on the phone.
