It's been 4 days since we recieved our referral and we are still walking around with our heads in the clouds. We got the pictures on Saturday night at 8:45 p.m. I was home by myself when the call came from our agency. I really wasn't prepared for it to be "the call". I think I played it cool though and was able to comprehend the fact that they were actually e-mailing us the picture right away.
Believe it or not I had to wait for my husband and family to get home before I could open the e-mail. I think I called them at least 3 times to tell them to hurry up or I was going to lock myself in our bedroom and away from the computer until they got here.
Finally the moment came! When we saw her face for the 1st time, it was like we knew her. I know that sounds strange, but it was like God had given us a glimpse of her in our dreams, and now that dream was coming true. She is a tiny little thing. In the picture she is wearing a hat and it is hard to tell how much hair(or no hair) that she has. She looks long, but our agency says they think she is pretty small.
She has the tiniest little mouth and the most expressive and beautiful eyes.
Even though we requested a child a little older, we feel that this is the baby we were always supposed to have.
We are now getting ready to set up the crib and get the room ready for her arrival.
We can hardly believe how blessed we are.

CONGRATULATIONS!! Sorry I missed the big announcement the other day but I'm so happy for you!!
I know what you mean about "knowing" your daughter - I had the same experience with our daughter when we adopted her 5 years ago.
What a happy Christmas you will have this year, getting ready for your new little one!
Stephanie,
WOW! Congratulations on your baby girl.
