I just thought I would post some thoughts really fast about my feelings for the birth mom. I can't even begin to express how much Tyler and I love her, because of what she gave us. I promised her that Taylor will be so loved, kissed lots, and given many hugs. I also told her what an amazing person she is. She is. I have thought about her a lot this passed week. I promised her that our bedtime stories would consist of fairy-tales, princesses, and her. Taylor will always know where she came from and what an honor it is for Tyler and I to be her mom and dad.
I can't explain it. But when I dreamed about what my baby would look like, Taylor is exactly what I imagined. Dark hair, skinny lips, and a cute small nose. Sure lots of babies have that, but I look at her and know she was intended for Tyler and I. There are times I look at her and just start smiling or let out a giggle. A nurse or someone will ask "what is it?" And I just say "oh nothing..." But when I show those smiles or let out those giggles, its because she belongs to Tyler and I and this is the baby I prayed for, we cried for and fasted for.... and she is here. ;-)
I go up to the hospital daily. I spend the whole day there and come home in the evenings. The doctor told me today that it is great to see a mom care so much for her baby. There are 6 other babies in the NICU with Taylor. 4 of those other parents are about 17 and hardly come by to visit their babies.
We should be coming home soon. I will post more pictures soon!
