We are getting ready to walk out the door of our hotel room to meet Evelyn for the first time.
We are beside ourselves with excitement yet nervous and scared all at the same time.
Maybe this it the feeling you have when you go to the hospital in labor. I don't know?
Very soon we will see our daughter face to face and hold her in our arms. This is the moment we have been longing for and waiting for since August 2009.
It's here.
We walk out this door as Patrick and Amy.
When we return in a few short hours we will be
mama and daddy.
This is it.
Praying for you all!! Can't wait to see her in your arms! So glad Emmy is with you all!!
ReplyDeleteSo excited for y'all!! Been thinking about all three of you today and praying you will feel God's arms wrapped around you as you finally UNWRAP His priceless gift that awaits...baby Evelyn!!! She is a very blessed little girl to have a Mama and Daddy who are so eager to meet her and especially ones who desire to love her and show her HIS love! Can hardly wait to see the next post!!!
