Here's how it went down....

So you know how they say that the day that you least expect it, it comes?

Well that is exactly what happened folks.

I will be honest, everyday for the past week, I thought the call would be that day. So everyday, from 9 to 3, I sat on my phone. I checked blogs every time I sat down at my desk. I felt like butterflies were all over my stomach.

But not today!

I woke up this morning and just knew that today would NOT be the day. And I was ok with it!

I was seeing a patient for a new OB intake. I had left my phone in my office because, like I said, I just wasn't thinking about it today. I am almost done with my patient, when the receptionist knocks on the door.

"Your husband just called and said you need to call him back NOW!"

Me: "Are you serious?!?!?"

I then just leave the patient in the room! I kinda wondering what they were thinking!!:)

I then call Brian back and he tells me that Mary had tried to call me, but I didn't answer and that this was it!! I hung up the phone and flew out the door!

I spent the next 30 minutes of my drive home smiling, screaming and crying!

W got home and waited for Mary to call us back. She had a meeting, so we had to wait for about an hour. During that time, I changed clothes 3 times, did dishes, swept the whole house, and scared our dog about a million times with my screams!

Our last picture together before we see our son!

I was supper excited!!!

Please ignore my crazy bending thumbs. Weird, right?!?!:))

Brian is excited!

I can't even explain to you the feelings we felt when we saw him.

We knew he was ours! Remember those crazy vivid dreams I have been having? Well, I saw his hair in my dreams. Soft, beautiful curls.

PERFECTION!

He is a 5 and 1/2 month old ball of joy! Mary repeatedly commented on how he was such a happy and smiley baby! She told us that he smiles with his eyes, and does he ever!

Our friends, the Carter's, got to meet him last week and Kellie told me that we has such a happy baby! She sent me some video and pictures and I can not tell you how much joy it gave me to see them loving on him.

It was such an emotional call. We were so excited to see his face, but there was the part that was extremely sad for his past as well. Even though they told you to be prepared for this, I really just wasn't .

We have chosen the name Tate for our little man.

Tate means, "cheerful", and we thought it was fitting.

I so wish you could see his face, his eyes, his smile.

We are so in love!

God is so faithful and we feel blessed beyond belief!

Our first family pic!

(Sorry, we can't post his actual picture until we pass court!)

What a great day! To top it off. Joanna got their referral today too!

I just knew we would get our news on the same day!:)

For all those waiting, your time will come, and it will be amazing!
