I was OBSESSED with babies before I became a mom. I thought this obsession would lighten once I had my own baby, but I was wrong! I am even more obsessed with these amazing little humans. I love seeing pictures and reading about babies. One thing I was not expecting was that I would become obsessed with the idea of motherhood. I now LOVE to read about other peoples perceptions of motherhood. This leads us to today's blog. I came across this guest blog post on Gussy Sews and it brought tears to my eyes.

It feels like you can taste the Spirit on your lips and hear Him in your heart and like no one and everyone in the world understands you. It feels like a new era, a new club, and like you never lived before the day the baby was born. It feels like love."- Arianne Segerman

We are still about a year away, maybe even a year and a half, from getting that much anticipated referral! For those not quite into the adoption lingo, that is the phone call saying we have been matched with our baby boy! Yes, I did say boy. Just incase you don't remember our specific details, we requested an infant boy 0-12 months. I can't imagine how our lives will change throughout this next year of waiting, but I know it will be worth it when we meet our little man!
We started on the "unofficial" wait list at #83.
Today we are at...
