6 Months Ago...

I can't believe six months have passed since I was handed this beautiful, bright, charming, silly little girl. She was so sad and scared that she just fell asleep on the bus back to the hotel that day. I think it is more upsetting now to look at those photos, than it was at the time because I was so caught up in finally meeting my baby, instead of focusing on what was going on in her mind. How brave she was. I remember stressing over whether to wake her up for a bottle or letting her sleep in that crib. And also, waking every hour just to make sure she was breathing and pinching myself that this had really happened...finally. I was so fortunate that she awoke the next morning a happier baby and ready to start the process of learning her new Mama. She has gone through so many changes in the past six months and is doing so well. I am blessed, not lucky, but blessed.
