Well, as of yesterday afternoon I am a mommy!!!!! It has been a whirlwind week! I certainly did not know when I woke up Monday morning that I would be a parent on Friday afternoon!!!!
Everything has gone SOOOOOO smoothe, it has all been like a dream! Let me start off by saying our baby's birthparents are TRUELY a blessing from God!!! We could not have been sent to two nicer people on the face of the earth. They clearly love their daughter with all their hearts and that is why they have given her to us so she can have the opportunity to experience all the opportunites life has to offer. Words can really not express all the feelings I have for these two wonderful people. They are angels walking on earth. Our daughter will know everday how much they love her and I hope and pray that we maintain our relationship with them. They signed the papers yesterday afternoon and tonight we went to dinner, which was so nice to see them outside the hospital. We had such a nice time. We got lots of great pictures with them and have exchange momentos from our different cities. We also have exchanged cell phone numbers and e-mail address and we feel so good about it. I never would have guessed that I would have wanted such a close relationship with them but now I cannot imagine it any other way. I look forward to talking with them and sharing our daughters milestones with them.
Now on to our beautiful daughter. She is perfect! She was born weighing 6lbs 13 oz and was 20" long. She has a full head of black hair. I can't believe it but she already feels like mine. It hit me like a ton of bricks this morning. Dad is taking a little longer but it is starting to sink in. She is very laid back so far and loves to be held and she loves to lay on her back and stretch out her arms over her head and straighten her little legs out.
Neither one of us slept very much last night as we were trying to figure each other out. I hope we get a little more sleep tonight. Well that is all for now, I am too tired to type anymore.

Patti at Red Velvet Cake sent me your link and I have been lurking for a couple of weeks. We are looking for a match to a 100% Hispanic child which is why Patti referred us to your site. I was so shocked when you got a baby LIKE THAT (imagine me snapping my fingers)! How perfect and wonderful that the BP are so nice. I would love it if we could all meet terrific BP and invite them into our lives (and vice versa). Saddly that isn't always possible but I really hope that it works out for us in this way. I am curious as to what kind of tokens you exchanged. I know what Patti gave her BP but would love more ideas. Good luck little Mama!
Congratulations on your little princess!
Wow - that went sooo fast! Congrats on your beautiful little girl. I think that's great that you will have an open relationship with the birthparents, too... Your experience really gives me hope, as I'm starting to lose a little faith in the whole adoption process. Can I ask if you went through a lawyer or adoption agency?
Thank you everyone for your congrats. Trixie, send me an e-mail and I will give you more info on the bp. If you are looking for full hispanic i would stronging suggest looking in TX or NV. Our agency does over 50% full hispanic adoptions.
Chelsi, we used an agency. Our agency is located in San Antonio TX. They asl ohave a office in Las Vegas
I love being a mommy! DD did great last night, only got up twice.
Congratulations, Mom:) Your story gives so many people hope and reassurance that they WILL become parents and that it could happen over night. I am so excited for you, and I can't wait to see pictures of your new little one!
It's me again:) Would you mind emailing me your agency info? Our situation is very likely falling through, and we need an agency who is more responsible than our current one.
