News on Finalization

So...finalization keeps getting pushed back.  It's so frustrating!  Even though it's already finalized in our hearts and minds, there is just something about making it official and having our last name be hers as well on that birth certificate!  First, we were waiting on a court hearing because BF is not responding to anything.  He didn't show up to the hearing, either (surprise, surprise) so they said finalization would be within 30 days, which would have been end of June.  DH just heard from the attorney today and the judge can't fit it into his schedule until either July 17 or 30, not sure which yet.  I know I need to be patient.  It won't help to be angry because we're not in control.  It will happen when it's supposed to happen.  (I just wish it were yesterday.  Or last month.)  Something to look forward to, I guess.....

On a positive note, she's off and moving!  Life will never be the same.  :-)  

Milestones and Mother's Day

Sweet DD has met so many milestones lately.  She is absolutely thriving!  I am loving every second.  I also can't believe she is 6 months old!  Half a year has gone by...unbelievable!  In another short 6 months we will be celebrating her first birthday!  Wow.  And with 6 months comes new milestones....

She's so adorable, she takes my breath away.

 Mother's Day is bittersweet for many reasons...those who have lost their Moms, including my parents with my Grannie and MeMe, but also for those who's dreams of becoming Moms hasn't yet or did not come true.  This is, however, the year my wish came true.  This was the first Mother's Day I celebrated as a Mom of two.  I am so blessed and thankful for that, yet still mourn for those who don't have.  My heart aches for them.  That being said, although I am truly thankful and am in the place I've wanted to be for so long and I love my own Mom/best friend dearly, Mother's Day will still always be bittersweet.

On another note...it's May, the weather is starting to warm, and I am looking forward to spending the summer with my girls!
