Happy 7 Months G man!

G,

Today is your 7 Month birthday. Your dad and I bought you your first few little outfits yesterday. Dad picked out a spiderman shirt for you. We are so excited to meet you. We wish we had been there the first 7 months of your life, but we promise we are coming to get you soon. The past 2 months of waiting have been the longest of our lives. We think about you all day everyday. I wonder what you are learning to do. They told us you smile all the time and that you are very interested in all the other children in the orphanage. I wonder if the kids play with you and teach you things. I wonder what it is like to be the youngest of 27 children. So many things I can't wait to find out for myself. Dad mainly thinks of ways he can fix your hair. He wants you to have a cool hairdo, so I'm sure some of his students will be coming over trying to braid your hair or do something crazy with it.

Since we saw your picture that day 2 months ago we have been getting ready for your arrival. Last week we put your bed together and started getting your room ready. It is going to be so great. Your Daisy got me a rocking chair to rock you in at night. Sometimes I just sit in your room imagining you being here. I can't wait. But I mostly can't wait for you to meet your family. They are all so excited to know you. Your cousins ask me all the time when they get to meet their baby cousin. You will have 7 boy cousins and one sweet girl cousin. When we get to Africa I will show you pictures of your family. There are so many people who love you already. I wonder what you are going to think of Saint. He is our 110 pound German Shepherd, but he is just a big baby. He loves and watches over your little cousins so I know he will love you too. He will probably lick your face all the time and when you get here we will probably have a little German Shepherd puppy for you to play with. So many big changes, but I know you will do great. Me and you will get through it together.

We love you little G man. We are coming to get you as soon as we can. I hope maybe you are getting a little extra love today as you turn 7 months. I know you have some very sweet ladies who love you and have been taking care of you since you were tiny. I'm so thankful for them. They have done what I couldn't do.  Hopefully this week will find out when we get to come get you.

Love you,
Mommy
