This is one of my favorite ways to keep busy. My book has 12 pages, so I laid it out in my mind to have one page for each month, up to one year. It's gone a little off course, but for the most part, I'm on track. I believe I have 6 pages left, and she is seven months old, so there's one extra. I hope to have extra pictures from her 1st birthday anyway - so I'll be happy to have two pages for that! I take it out and look at it at least once a week...just to sort of see how much she's already changed. I'm so glad I started it. I didn't have the heart to do it in November but come mid-December or so, I finally could manage it without getting tear stains all over it in the process. <3
I hope to show it to her one day, so she knows she was always on my mind and I cherished every little piece of her that was shared with me.

ReplyDeleteShe will, without a doubt, know that she was always loved by you. This will be a true treasure for her some day.

ReplyDeleteThank you thank you thank you for your comment on my blog. I have never been on the other side af an adoption, I know how much infertility sucks, and after living the last 8 months of Maya's adoption in Guatemala and not getting her home until she was 17 months, Iknow how wonderfula nd yet how stressful that was. she asked if the picture of your daughter was her, she looked so much like her as a baby hair and all.
ReplyDeletei was so glad when Benjamin's birthmom ( I will have to ask her how she would like to be known, we did not have this option with Maya, all her paperwork refers to her as BM so we have continued to refer to her as that and also by her first name) called, we had talked openly about everything, but I know that feelings change and everyday is a different day.
I so appreciate the time you took to find me off of Luna's blog and comment, it means alot.
I just noticed blogger is having issue's again so its not goign to show who left this comment, this is Leah and Maya (need to add Ben to that)
