    I love hearing you call her “your baby girl”! Wow! I still get butterflies when I think about the fact that in just a couple more weeks you will after over 3 year wait–you will have your Lydia–and oh she is such a beauty!

    So very happy for you all! Waiting for the day you touch her face and she’s in your arms forever and ever. AND the day you see a smile on that gorgeous little girl.

    She is going to ROCK your heart, ROCK your world like no other–in the dearest most precious of ways.

Hello

I overthink everything. This blog is a prime example. Make yourself a cup of coffee and sit down for a read. Actually, make that a pot of coffee. There’s a lot of overthinking here.
