This is not how I planned my life in that class you take in high school that makes you list where you will be in 10 or 20 years.
Got married to young (20)... wasted my youth on a no-good cheater. Divorced.
Met Mr. D in 1996 and we fell in love... (REAL love this time.) We married in 2001. I was already behind in my plan because while I did earn a BFA in Theatre Performance and became and actress and teacher... I was not
(A) a movie star
(B) a millionaire or
(C)the perfect mother to 2.5 children...
Mr. D and I recently built our first home and I teach acting, directing, and technical theatre in a high school. I love my hubby, my job, and the life we have made together.
Two years ago Mr. D and I started the "it is time to have a baby" negotiations. I never thought that waiting until I was 30 would be a problem. After 2 m/c and tons of fertility tests...I am beginning to panic...
That is amazing and wonderful news! I am more happy and excited for you than you can know -- and I don't even really know you! :):):):):) I know you've been waiting for this moment for years..so glad it is finally here!!!!
YAYYAYYAYYAYAYYAYA!!!!!!!!!!!!! So very excited for you both!!!! Congrats my dear!!!!! Can't wait to read all about the elusive details! :-) Have fun shopping for Finley!
Congrats!! You don't know me, I found your blog through Tracey's. We were going to pursue adoption, but once again are stuck in the IF world since things have changed a little. Anyway, just wanted to say congrats!!! I hope your meeting with the birthmom goes well!
Hi Mrs and Mr D, I have been following your blog for a few years now, I would like to say congratulations! I hope the next 2 months fly and you finally get to hold little Finley in your arms. Good luck :)
So very, very happy for you guys. Brightens my day hearing this news! Let's hope the next two months pass quickly & smoothly and you have little Finley in your arms ASAP!
Woo-hoo! I will pray for things to go as smoothly as possible these next few months. April babies are wonderful little people, by the way. Full of energy and creativity and lots of love. (I am adding two more this April and am very happy it worked out that way!)
I have been following your story forever (and I've always been on your side!) Now, FINALLY you're going to have a happy ending! What amazing news! Lots to do! Enjoy every minute!
Congrats! One question though, what will happen if the baby ends up being a boy? I have a friend that was told she was having a girl and had the nursery all ready for a girl and the baby they thought was their "Megan" ended up being "Nathan". Would you still adopt it? Just something to think about...
I don't know you, but I have happy tears. I'm not usually one to pray, but I can't help but feel I should, for you and the birth mom that is trying to do what she can for her baby, that she clearly loves enough to want to give a better life.
Congratulations. I'm another long time reader who is thrilled that your daughter is finally almost here. I hope that the next two months pass quickly and that all goes well with her birth and adoption.
I know this will sound silly..but I cannot imagine a better BD gift for me at 40 then knowing you will be a mom (finally) in April. OMG, through these tears I will tell you that I am HAPPY beyond words. All my love and prayers to you! YIPPEE!
I am so happy for you! I have been reading your blog for years (dealt with over 3 years of secondary infertility) and have been praying for your family for so long.
I have been following for years now. :-) I burst out into tears seeing such wonderful news. Prayers and thoughts for you, Mr. D, the birthmom and baby Finley.
I am so happy for you, Mr.D, and Finley> You are all so lucky to be joined together as a family. I wish you a smooth adoption, a perfectly healthy baby girl, and many many more blessings!! Love, Christie
