Snowflakes - Transfer Day

March 6, 2012

To my little snowflake babies on the day we meet:

Hi! I’m your Mommy. I have already worried enough about you to make the “Mommy” quota until you’re 6 years old…and you’re only 6 days old. Happy 6 day Birthday little ones! I’m so glad today is finally here.  I just about had a heart attack yesterday waiting to find out if you survived the thaw. All day I was a nervous, anxious, on edge – wreck. I tried to keep busy but got so emotional that I didn’t get much done. I took a nap, hung out with my friend Katie, and shopped online and on Craigslist. Got a great table set for the backyard and some accessories for your big sisters stroller. Maybe you’ll use them too one day.

I just want you to know, that it doesn’t matter how small you are – you are infinitely and eternally important. To me, your Dad, God, and so many other people. The prayer warriors were hard at work yesterday and are at work today praying for you.  We’ve waited so long for the chance to give you life and see you grow – and we feel so blessed that God has given us you! It is better than winning the lottery and it is totally a dream come true for me.

I know that someday, as you’re growing healthy and strong, today will seem like less than a big deal. When you know the end of the story turns out okay…the climatic drama in the middle becomes irrelevant and you forget how you felt in that moment. I’m scared, anxious, excited, and nervous …..but most of all…I’m in love with my children and so thankful that God created them just for me.
It was hard for me to stay asleep last night. I keep having dreams about the transfer today, so I was up early getting things ready. The time has come for me to go wake up your Dad and big sister. I will see you soon my little loves…I can’t wait to hold you!

Love,
Mom
