Tonight is a "Memory Lane" visit of sorts. Looking back through my journal, I pulled out a card that mom had sent on Good Friday 2007 (the day I sent out my actual contract to my agency - first BIG check), and it reads: "I am so thrilled that your journey as a Mom starts today!!! I can't decide who is luckier; you or your daughter! (with a smiley face) Motherhood is not always easy - - - but it is always worth the price you pay in tears & laughter. I can't imagine life without my children - - without you! I am still Grandma's little girl - you are still my little girl and somewhere out there is YOUR little girl!!! What a beautiful circle! Love you! Mom"
Once again, I am blessed!
I also read a journal entry from March 5th, that morning I called Grandma and Grandpa and left a message on their home phone. As I was driving to work, I realized that they may already be grandparents for a 5th time, my daughter is probably out there already waiting for us! Mom, "Grandma," called back after listening to my message that afternoon with an excitement in her voice that I hadn't yet heard and left a message,"Oh teenie (my nickname) that is the most amazing thought, our granddaughter is out there!" She was giddy. I could just feel her beaming at the realization. This was the first time that I felt in my heart that my mom was 100% in this with me. Not that she didn't support sooner, as she always does, but that she too was just as excited as me now!

Cousins (Izaak wants to name my daughter (his cousin) Isabella, Sant (for 'Santa') or Hershey (his friend's dog's name.) Hmmmm I told him that if we name her 'Hershey,' that would mean that we get to give her a lot of kisses.
