People are always posting about different things and today people started posting their adoption videos. Videos of them meeting their little ones for the first time and bringing them home on their final trip. Oh my gosh!! I CANNOT wait until this is us!! One video there was a lady who couldn't stop smiling and kissing her little baby. Like literally, it was like someone froze a huge smile on her face! It was the sweetest thing I have ever seen. She was just so so so happy and it was like the months and years of waiting just melted off her and all she could do was smile and kiss her baby! Who knows if we will be kissing a teeny baby or a two year old, but I can't wait to have that smile frozen on my face while we are kissing our baby girl #3 a million times!!
Sometimes I get a little confused about who is going to live in what room, or how sleep will go with Jane or how in the heck I will take three babies to the grocery store. I have to fight the urge to worry about the amount of exhaustion I might face, or how I could ever be in charge of three little lives all day by myself when Lance goes to work. I even had the thought today that I hope all these matching clothes aren't discontinued by the time Jane gets here because I will need to go get her a matching set of everything the twins have (real problems I know...hehe).
But one thing I never worry about is how much we will love her. Well, we already love her every ounce as much as we do these little munchkins that I carry around with me all day. Plus, Jane isn't giving me migraines or heartburn or making me run to target and buy bigger, we'll everything on a monthly basis (don't worry girls, you are totally worth it too).
I know life will be crazy and I know Jane is going to be very confused and need time to heal and bond with us. I know we will be really tired and probably will just have gotten two other babies sleeping thought the night when this one comes along. But when I see those videos I don't care about any of it. All my anxiety melts away and I dream about the day when I am that mom with the smile plastered on her face, knowing that challenges will probably lie ahead, but that my baby is FINALLY in my arms and that's all that matters for now!!

Exciting times! We are excited for y'all and cannot wait to meet the twins and Jane!
One thing I know is that we both are blessed to have SO much support from our family close by, church people, etc. One piece of advice (and I just have ONE baby, ha) is fully take advantage of when people offer to help!! Don't feel bad and don't let your pride get in the way! Some days you just need help and that is A-Ok. :)
Love ya!
So happy to help play a small part in easing some of your anxiety about waiting. Praying for family!
Blessings,
The smiley, kisses-a lot lady ;-)
p.s. just for the record, my bio son gets smothered with kisses on a daily basis. Oh, and my husband too ;-)
