Day 2
just had the best news ever this July 13th 2006 ( my grandmother's <87th> birthday). My heart aches and my eyes fill up with tears just thinking about it; baby J was born on June 29th this year, the same day Anthony turned 15. This has been the most amazing journey with the most wonderful result finally on her way! Calling family and friends to let them know she is here has been so rewarding and validating; we have the best village in the world to introduce her into. We're diving in head first to the unknown but it has been a long time coming and I have only excitement for the process. Sy has talked about fear, something I did recently learn, but for this it just isn't coming up.... this has been a challenge for so many years now I am beyond ready. No matter there are a million things to be getting done before she comes home, I am READY. Life changing events come and go, the anticipation is sometimes more than the event itself but this is really living up to it. I can almost think of nothing else. I am here at work today doing vrs work in Denver, I am surrounded by friends and support but I want to be no other place than Guatemala. Thank you young woman in that small village outside of Guatemala City for bringing baby j to us-"You are in our thoughts and prayers and most of all feel our thanks". So far it seems that we will not get much information on the woman who carried J for the past several months, no matter she is exalted in our lives. The information that we hear we may have some access to is maternal biological information. I worry that some day J may wish to look for the woman who carried and birthed her, and we will not have much to go on.she is now about 4 pounds; there has been lots of shopping for the bare necessities for the trip; a bottle, bath sponge, a baby carrier and some clothes all of these little things make it real, what a joy to go out shopping for her.
the house is in the current state of hurricane (not a real one) disaster but our good buddies Scott and Norm are working on putting it back together much better than it was before. the baby room will be done in a green with an oceanscape, I can't wait to get started on a mural; Y, Sy, maybe Ant and I will work on the critters for that.
okay well thank you for keeping up to date on this exciting new process and supporting us with you love and friendship. send thoughts and prayers, we appreciate your contribution to our lives so very much we can't wait to introduce you all to J.
