Countdown – We’ve Arrived!

Today is the day.

Today…

  1. Chance will no longer be an only child.
  2. I’ll find out how it feels to love more than one kid with all my heart.
  3. I will be very aware someone important to me is missing.
  4. My sister, Renee, and her husband, Jason, is coming into town.
  5. I’ll cry because my heart will never be the same.
  6. All my organs will shift around inside of me.
  7. I will cry over feelings words could never express.
  8. I will most likely not get to eat.
  9. My weight will drop at least 15 pounds.
  10. The world, as I know it, will be changed forever.

    It doesn’t get any better than this! I just told Nate the other day, the three best days of my life were the days that I married Kirk, and gave birth to Hayden and Nate.

    Praying for ALL of you! Post pics of the new little nugget asap!!

    I’m laughing out loud because the title of the post is the same as your new “pet” nickname on FFS! You are so on target about how special this day is, what it signifies.

    Wouldn’t it be a great attitude that every day would be “today is the day”? Wasn’t that Paul’s mantra, his sense of urgency? Praying for you, especially today!

    We love you all! Congrats! Prayers for you and the family! We are excited to meet Paxton soon! As your Chinese friend (also a Wong), I also have a Chinese Mom…I’ll go over and “eat” the food for you ;) although I may start lactating and my scars may heal up and……blessings!
