GOTCHA DAY!!!

It feels so good to finally type that! Well it is 3am in the morning. I am wide awake. Ricky and Justin are sleeping soundly!!! I am hoping to dose back off in a little bit. Be sure to click on my other waiting families that I will meet up with in Guangzhou. Feel free to leave them a comment. They are a great group of women that have been so supportive during these last few months!!! I can't wait to meet them.

Sweet little Joshua I miss you so much and I can't wait to talk to you on the phone tomorrow!!!!

Happy Birthday to my brother Ryan!!! You will have a new "little bit" for your birthday gift!!!!

Counting down until 10am!!!!!!!

I saw your sweet Josh this morning... He was doing good...Tyler was loving him a little bit..LoL I guess he knew Josh might need a 'big brother' hug right now. Oh how I wish I could be there to see our little princess! :) Love U guys!
