Babies are still cookin'

The birth mom had her weekly appointment on Tuesday, as well as a non stress test. The babies did great on the non stress test and everything went well at the appointment. Baby B is back in the right position. So we just keep waiting! 

Even though we are so excited to meet these little girls, we would so much rather them stay in as long as possible so they don't need NICU time from coming too early.

Last weekend my good friends here threw me a baby shower. It was such a fun time. It's been a while since I've had a shower! 

The most special gift came from a very good friend. She has also adopted, so she understands a lot of what we have been through! She gave us the most darling wooden rocking horse that has some very special meaning in her family. Attached to the gift she included a quote that I just love.

Not flesh of my flesh 
nor bone of my bone 
but still,
miraculously, my own.
Never forget for a single minute
you didn't grow 
under my heart,
but in it. 

Makes me cry every time I read it.
