RYAN & EMILEE'S ADOPTION JOURNEY

mother's day

Happy (belated) Mother's Day! Our day was filled with love from the morning to the evening. We started off the morning with the Walk for a Cure 5k. It's always such a beautiful morning! We then spent the day with Ryan's parents and grilled some fabulous food. Ryan and I ended the evening on the deck and enjoyed the weather.

Mother's day, baby showers, birth announcements are hard for some people on this journey. For me, these days aren't hard. In fact, I enjoy them. Being a parent and having a baby are some of the most joyous things someone can experience. It's absolutely beautiful and special when someone is able to be pregnant and give birth. Though I completely understand why it's hard for some, I'm glad that I can still enjoy these amazing events.

This Mother's Day, I thought long and hard about the fact that someday soon, I could be a mother. I felt excited, nervous, anxious and happy. During the day, 3 different people wished me a HMD. I thought - "huh!?" One friend from all the way back in elementary school explained: "Motherhood isn’t just physically having a child, it’s the mindset, love, dedication that YOU already have." How beautiful is that? It's crazy to think how in love I already am with a child I don't have yet. I can't wait to be their cheerleader, their love, their strength. I just can't wait.

Now - UPDATES! As you may know, Ryan and I finished our home study at the end of April. So, these first few weeks in May have been filled with preparing our letter and our book.
