A New Journey

Just before Christmas I was surprised with a wonderful gift!  News that I am adopting a baby boy!!  He is due on February 27, 2012, but Princess A, my 7 yr old, insists that he will be born on Valentine's day.  We shall find out soon enough! 

With just about 2 months to prepare for a new baby, we have been in full clean out, donate and unclutter mode!  The playroom is slowly morphing into a nursery, the living room now is home to an infant swing and pack n play and there is once again Butt Paste in the house! 

I have always dreamed of having 3 children.  My love life has been lousy - bad choice of men.  That makes it a blessing that I have never married any of them (despite coming very close on 2 occasions).  I was not about to let the lack of a husband deny me of motherhood.  So, in 2005 I adopted my beautiful daugther.  She was 10 months old on Gotcha Day!  I cannot believe how quickly the past 6+ years have flown!  She is now a beautiful, talented and intelligent first grader.  She will be a fabulous big sister!

We are now counting down to the arrival of my little man!
