six hundred and twenty seven

Dear Baby C,

It’s been 627 days since your dad and I started on this journey.

We’ve prayed countless prayers, cried thousands of tears, and I’ve peed on a few too many sticks {all of which have been negative}.

But now we are a mere 26 days away from the journey we hope will bring you from heaven into our arms.

You see, Baby C, when your dad and I first got married, I knew I wanted children, but I didn’t want them at that point in my life. I wanted to advance my career, get set up financially, travel, among a laundry list of other things. Some of those things we have accomplished, some of what I thought we would have later in life came sooner than expected. The desire for you was one of those.

It’s now been just shy of two years. We’ve found an amazing doctor who is going to help us get you here and I know God has his hand in this as well and is setting us up for success. If you only knew how many people were praying for you and your safe arrival. Baby C, you are already so incredibly loved. This next step in our journey is going to be rough, but we already know you are so worth it and with God on our side, I know we can get through it.

We love you so much,

Mom & Dad
