Journey to Aubrey Mei: 4 weeks ago

Four weeks ago today I held my daughter for the very first time. She cried so much those first hours with me, she was so frightened and sad - I cried along with her that day and just prayed she would feel my love and eventually learn to trust her new mommy and feel safe in my arms. What a difference 4 weeks makes. Now I see the trust in her eyes. I see a very happy girl (most of the time) and hear so much laughter! She knows her Mommy - called me Mama the other day! She is now crawling all over the place and exploring her new home. She is actually sleeping through the night most of the time --for about 11 hours, may wake up during the night for a diaper change (so cute- she whimpers a little, keeps her eyes closed and lifts her little legs for the diaper change and then back off to a sound sleep). I can't believe God has blessed me with this precious child. How did I get so lucky? She amazes me every day. What did I ever do without her?! Words can never express the deep love I feel for my sweet little girl, my daughter. Thank you God and all our special angels in heaven for bringing us together. Your Mommy loves you soooo much Aubrey Mei!
