I can hardly believe it! Today is Michael’s last day at work. WOW! When the alarm went off at 5am today- I woke up too so excited for him that today is the last day at BPI. I can not say he will never get up at 5am again though….sorry babes!
I get asked alot how I am feeling. I wish I had a better answer than what I give. But it is too hard to describe every emotion. Basically I am excited, nervous, and well tired. I am in denial still that ALL of this is ACTUALLY happening! We have our plane tickets, all of our documents, and everything packed. This all is SO crazy, that I can’t begin to tell you what it feels like.
Caleb still is very excited to go home. I love that he already calls Brazil home, even if the vision he has may be inaccurate. I get the impression that he thinks that the plane is Brazil, and we will be spending the rest of our lives in the air. Fun huh!
Bella is a mix of emotions. She is still anxious to go, but it is begining to sink in that the people she loves are NOT coming with her, and that we aren’t returning to the USA anytime soon. Every morning we take a link off of our countdown chain, and she gets a little sadder with each loop removed. “Not enough time at Michelle’s Mama.” she said this morning with a pout.
Baby Bean is making herself more apparent too, both in size and kicking my belly. She prefers my left side, and her bum is usually tucked into my pelvis . Hope she finds a new comfy place soon, don’t know what that is going to feel like when she gets bigger.I love that she is in on this journey with us from the begining. I can’t believe that I am almost 20 weeks! Half way there! I am still feeling a bit sick. Mornings especially are rough. But nothing compared to what it was like in the begining- so I just grin ( or gag) and bear it. I think part of me being so tired has to do with that fact that I am growing a beautiful baby girl. We had another ultrasound last week – and oh my – I am IN ABSOLUTE LOVE with my baby girl’s sweet little nose, and lips. I can hardly stand how cute she is! I can’t wait to love on her! I think that I am going to have a hard time sharing her with others… don’t think that is going to go over so well with others though…
So much to do so little time, and I am lazy to list it all. But thank you guys ONCE again for praying for us, and supporting our family so lovingly. I am amazed that so many of you care so much for us. We know that your prayers have carried us so far… and you all will be rejoicing with us when we land in Brazil!!!
