Overcome with emotion. That was exactly how I felt this afternoon after opening up an email whose subject line was entitled "Court Approval." I can only compare how I feel right now to the moment six years ago when a smartly dressed twenty something social worker sat across from me in our Chicago apartment, looked me in the eye, and related that it was alright to push my fears aside and purchase a crib because Jared and I were most assuredly going to be the parents of a son. And now despite the calm I have more or less experienced over the last few days, a big sigh of relief and a deep sense of gratitude for we have been given the gift of a daughter. Welcome precious little Lucia. Your daddy, mommy, and brothers cannot wait to meet you.
A blessed mother's day to you all!
