It isn't really the night before Christmas, but it feels like it. Actually it feels more like the night before I got married. I'm nervous and excited, but everything feels just right.
Today was another day with an interesting mix of emotions that are difficult to explain. I was on edge all day waiting for our birth mother to sign the papers and fly back home. I was so excited to hear she had done both - meaning Baylie really is ours. At the same time, my heart was breaking for our birth mom as I imagined her sore and empty flying back home all by herself. I wish I could hug her, hold her tight and tell her how grateful I am and how I will try to be a good mother to her baby.
This has been one of the longest days of my life and I can't wait for the phone call tomorrow telling us we can go get her. I hope the nurses are holding her so she isn't lonely.
We should get a call in about 12 hours!
