These past few months our hearts have been torn between anxiously waiting to meet Marigold and savoring our last handful of slow weekends just the three of us. Our wait has been so different from the first time in every possible way. I don’t know how I would have survived a six month wait (after match) with Nova. This time it just kind of flew by, for the most part. We’re still crazy anxious- but in a joyful way instead of a painful way.
Nova is too excited to become a sister. She tells us everyday all the things she is going to teach Marigold, and help with and how she’s going to greet her when she meets her. It’s as sweet as it gets!
Just look at that face.
Mother’s Day was incredible this year. I felt so loved.
I can’t believe it’s basically summer. I feel like it was just winter. It’s just one of those years.
I’m really not wishing away a single day. Life is so good right now.
My sister decided to come to China with us and I am so excited! I’ll do another post soon about our travel prep. We’re still waiting for official confirmation so we can book travel, but our expected trip is about a month and a half away. I already started making my packing list.
My big project this weekend is the “baby bucket list” I have taped up on my wall. We did this before we got Nova too, but we’re trying to take care of every responsible thing we can and deep clean our entire home so we can come back from China to a fresh home and an empty to-do list. xx- Elsie
