tick tock

i can't hear the ticks and tocks of time passing by. the clock hands are moving to fast and i am trying to take in every ounce of this beautiful moment that i have. its been one month......one month of holding her, watching her grow, loving on her, counting those little fingers and toes, sleepless nights, mid morning naps, and early morning walks.

speechless

I am speechless. There are no words that can truly express how I feel. No words that can be shouted out to tell the world. No words can express my emotions. I don't think there will ever be words to explain this journey that we have embarked on. To express how truly blessed we are. April 15, 2010, a day for most that comes and goes. A day where you normally wake up and make your way through your daily activities. But this day was not a normal day for us. We had waited so long for this day. We planned, prepared, waited, and waited.

April 15 brought us a gift. A gift that has forever changed the way I look at life....the way I go to sleep at night and wake up in the morning......the way I think about my day......the way I look at my day....the way I look at Drew....the way I look at us. This little day has changed my life because with it bloomed a product of the love that I have for Drew. On April 15 we had our precious little girl.

This little girl that I had waited so long to hold was finally here....and when I held her it felt as if it was only me and her.

April 15 brought emotions that words cannot explain. We have a precious little one that has changed our life forever. We have been blessed ten times over.

a feeling like no other

The pages of my journal have not been turned in quite some time.
My thoughts are running wild.
I had every intention to document this most amazing experience.
This experience that I have been oh so blessed to have.
I wanted her to know everything.
I wanted to remember every second of this beautiful experience.
If I could just press that little rewind button and relive the last few months.......I would jot down every little feeling, emotion, sound, ache, pain, sleep, no sleep, cravings, and absent mindedness moments.

I'm 28 weeks this week and she is moving like no other. I love the feeling of her swooshing, flipping, kicking, punching, little body. I love to feel the "wave" of butterflies that flutter throughout my stomach as she dances. I absolutely love the feeling of feeling her move.

Before we know it........the blessing that we receive bring all sorts of feelings. Olivia is a blessing that no one will ever be able to take from me. This experience of carrying a child and the joy that comes with being a home for a sweet little one that will bring so many new experiences when she is ready.
