HE'S HERE!!!!

today has been such a wonderful, exciting, stressful, anxious, hopeful day! we found out around 9:00 this morning that noah arrived (on a texas, snowy day!) at 7:00 a.m!!!! everyone is doing well which we are thankful for! he weighed 5 pounds, 10 ounces. my phone has been glued to my hip all day b/c i didn't want to miss a call from our case worker or our birth mom.

TOMORROW at 11:00 a.m. is the big day! we will finally meet him face to face. i just don't know how i can sleep tonight. we are so pumped to see the little man and hold him. i know i will just die when i see him. we have waited for him for so long and are so thankful that God has put us, him, and the birth parents together! we couldn't be happier!! i just wish i could fast forward! i can't wait to hold him and to see the birth parents~ they are so amazing!

a funny story... my parents are such pack rats (sorry guys- you are)! i really don't know how i got to be like i am, i get rid of everything- can't stand clutter! back to the story... so my dad was cleaning out my mom's old storage chest where she kept her rocking 1980's country wood thingys she used to make for craft fairs. he threw away most everything but found a piece of paper with the below scripture that my mom had wrote about 20 years ago. my mom then told me about it just when i needed it the most. then, tonight when i was getting my hair cut, my stylist had a small wooden frame with the same passage as below... coincidence....? i think not.
hebrews 11:1
faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

this has been such a ride but we both know that little noah will soon be with us. words cannot express how that makes me feel.
