One week ago
















What a week this has been...It is hard for us to believe it has been one week already since we first laid our eyes on Sophia's beautiful little face. We have spent the last week gazing at these 3 little pictures and wondering how much our daughter has changed since they were taken in November. Our agency is working on getting us updated information about Sophia and hopefully updated pictures. We have a care package already to put in the mail, I'll do that on Monday. Tomorrow we are spending the day baby shopping.. We need to get a car seat and a few other items, so we are making the trip to Babies-R-Us. Riz has always wanted to buy me a rocking chair for Sophia's Nursery. When he was born his father bought one for his mother to rock him in when he needed comforting. Riz wanted to do the same for me and Sophia. We are going to look for a rocker while we are out tomorrow too. Riz is also planning on taking me to dinner at P.F. Chang's (one of our favorite places to eat Chinese) for Mothers day. Sunday we will go to church and then spend the day with family. This year mothers day holds new meaning for me. Although I have felt like a mother for two plus years now it is more real, more special this year because I know my daughter. I know what she looks like, where she is, that she has big brown eyes, pretty dark hair, tiny little ears, a button nose and most of all the sweetest smile I have ever seen.... I am really looking forward to my first "not sad" Mothers Day.. This year no sadness only joy....


Happy Mothers day to all the mothers out there. To those still waiting, for those who just received referrals especially all my Jan 10th travel mates. To all my wonderful friends and most especially our family...we are so happy to have you all in our lives and are overjoyed that you all will be sharing in Sophia's life...


Love

Susan and Riz

One week has changed our lives so much. We knew in our hearts we were Mom's but now we have a face to go along with the love in our hearts.

Happy Mother's Day Sophia's Mama! Enjoy every second of the day and just wait until we hold those babies for another celebration of Mother's Day (and if EAC pulls it off, Father's Day too :))

Much love,
Susan
