Today is my first Thanksgiving as a mom. Of course, that is the thing I'm most thankful for.
My daughter.
I'm thankful that she's healthy, happy, smart, strong and beautiful.
I'm thankful that she was so young when I met her. Because of that I get to witness so many of her milestones. Rolling over, sitting up, standing, learning to talk, walking. I got to celebrate her first birthday. I'm so so so thankful for these things.
I'm thankful that our attachment is going so well. Again a blessing that she was so young. I recognize that makes it a little easier for us.
I'm thankful that she loves to sleep almost more than she loves to eat.
I'm thankful that I start every day walking into her room to be greeted by her mega watt smile. And I end every day with her soft, warm little body snuggled into my chest.
I'm thankful that the universe guided China's hand to choose her file to be matched with mine.
I'm thankful to her birthmother for carrying her for 9 months and bringing her into this world.
I'm thankful to her foster family for caring for her, feeding her and loving her for the first 7 months of her life.
I'm thankful not only that I get to be a mom. But that I get to be a mom to THIS girl.
I'm forever grateful for my
