I'm Beyond Tired

Holy Moly...never in my life did I ever dream that I'd ever be this tired...AND ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!!! I'm dragging, I'm napping when I can, and I've got cabin fever, but I am so extremely happy! I've heard it said that there is no deeper love than that of a mother for her child...I now know what they are talking about. Last night Little Bit had some very bad gas pains, and she was crying so much that I started crying. I couldn't stand for her to be in so much pain. We gave her My.lacon, and we massaged her tummy and pulled her knees up to her tummy to help relieve the pain, and finally after about an hour she settled down.

J and I got the furniture in the nursery all set up, and afterwards we laid in the middle of the floor and just marveled at the fact that 3 weeks ago we had no clue that our lives would change so drastically in just a short amount of time. Mom and I are taking Little Bit to meet all her friends in BR this weekend, and while we're there we're going to get the curtains hung and pictures on the wall. I'll post pictures when we get it finished. We'll be coming back to Houston on Saturday, but it will be nice to show off our little girl to all our friends.

I talked to my other SS (SS#2) yesterday, and she told me that she was so glad that J and I were going to step up and take responsibility for Little Bit. I told her that I wanted her to be an active part of her life, and she was welcome to see her at any time. I explained to her that adoptive children often wonder about their blood relatives, and most never get the opportunity to ever meet them, so this situation was such a rarity. She cried. I cried. It was a wonderful conversation. I'm very excited that she and her husband are coming down next weekend to meet Little Bit. I know it will be a very emotional time for everyone.

I don't have much time to sit and read your blogs b/c I'm napping when Little Bit is napping.
