This is the picture that we framed and gave to each one of our family members as we shared the news of a baby boy coming to our family! I had this vision months ago, hoping we would be matched with a birthmom before Christmas. I never actually thought I would be able to use it, but here it is!
We were able to capture most everyone's reaction with our phone cameras, but since I have not been given approval by these said family members, I can't post them yet=) Yet, I said!
The irony is that not everyone got it immediately. My dad thought the stocking on the end was green instead of blue and couldn't figure out why it was smaller than the rest. My mom couldn't see it really well because my dad was holding it. I had to point out the color of the stocking to Brian's mom and dad. Thankfully, both sisters got it right away! Whew! My efforts weren't in vain.
We loved seeing everyone's reactions. My favorite part each time was telling them he is coming home in 3 weeks! The response was pretty much the same after that......what?! 3 weeks?!
We are finally home and able to tackle all the many projects that need to be done in time for baby. The most fun was registering at
Tar-get. Even Natalie got in on that fun! She loved pushing that button and smiled everytime she heard it beep.
We still have several more projects to complete including moving all Nat's clothes upstairs, cleaning bottles, clothes, blankets, etc and cleaning the house from being gone so long, but there is still one project that needs to be completed first.....the puzzle!
We are so close, but can't hang that baby in the nursery until it's finished. We have 66 pieces left before the full picture can be revealed!
