what an INCREDIBLE day!!!

what a blessed day we have had! we got to spend a lot of quality time with our little guy and his birth mom. we had an incredible day, got to hold him, stare at him, fight over holding him, feed/change/dress him. we were thrilled and loved every second of it! and a few times, after being asleep in my arms, when daddy went to hold him, he started crying ;) he is going to be a momma's boy~ that is for sure. we simply can't wait to get this little guy home! what an awesome way to bring in 2010!

we are so incredibly grateful to H&P and words can't express the way we feel towards them. they are truly, amazing, wonderful, inspirational people and we will always love them both (along with noah!) and will always let him know how much he is loved. and noah will always know how much they love him. this little guy is loved by so many people and that makes me feel so happy! i know hundreds of wonderful people have been praying for noah, for the great birth parents, their families and our families. when i looked at him today, i couldn't hold back tears when i looked at him... after our many years of struggling to have a biological child, it became crystal clear why we hadn't through the years. at the time, we didn't think it was fair and thought GOD didn't have a plan for us but HE has been working on this plan for such a long time. WE all were meant to be together. noah james was placed into our special family for a REASON and that makes me love him that much more.

the below verse has meant a lot to me over the years..
2 Corinthians 12:9-10 But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness."
