Well we have been home for a few days now and are settling in. It is so nice to be sleeping in our own bed (although dd still prefers her carseat to the pack and play bassinet!) I am definately exhausted, but it is so worth it! I have yet to figure out this sleep when she sleeps thing, even though I am exhausted, I have so much stuff to do, I don't want to waste time sleeping. And it seems like when i do lay down I cant fall asleep anyway and just think about all the stuff I need to do.
Since everything happened so fast, we still don't have her nursery set up or anything, we have the walls done but then we started redoing the spare room so all that furniture is now in the baby's room, and we don't have a crib or changing table or dresser or anything, so it has been a bit cluttered trying to get organized. Hopefully dh will make some progress on the spare room this weekend so we can get it put back together and start getting dd room organized! So for now we have the pack in play in our room and dh bought a 3 drawer plastic container that we have in our room with some of her clothes and blankets etc. We definatley have more stuff in this house and we haven't even had our shower yet! So far we have a bouncy seat and a swing. I can't even imagine what this house is gonna look like after the shower.
Instead of a traditional shower we are just having an open house. I am not a big fan of showers so I think the open house will be good. It is next sat the 17th so we have bit to get ready for that, hopefully that spare room will at least be primed so we can get the furniture back in it.
It is starting to sink in that I am a mommy and that is my full time job! I am still going to try to work in my dad's office a few hours a week, but for the most part will be at home and am SOOOOOO excited. I can't imagine it any other way.
We took dd to the peditrician here today and that went great. The doctor was really nice and dd is up to 8lbs!!! she put on a 1lb in a week!!!! The doctor said she looks great and couldn't find anything wrong with her!!!!!!!!! We are just so blessed. I swear the last 2 weeks have been an absolute dream come true.
For those still waiting, DON'T GIVE UP!!!!!!!!!!!! Your child WILL find you and as soon as you see him/her you will know they are meant to be yours!!!!! And we are proof that it can happen ANYTIME!!!

What a blessing she must be. Don't forget to sleep when she's sleeping! I am told that is very important.
You give me so much hope!! You're living proof that it can happen anytime and that even when you're frustrated, it will all be worth it in the end when you hold your little miracle:)
Thanks for the encouraging thoughts. I hope you're right.
Wow congratulations!
A open house sounds like a great idea!
She is just adorable. Congrats on everything - it really did happen in a whirlwind. It gives me a lot of hope too, especially when I am getting very very discouraged just waiting around. I like your open house idea - very clever!
I got tears in my eyes reading how hopeful you are for those of us still waiting. I would love for a match NOW but I know you are right. All in good time. And DD is soooo lovely!!! What a cutie!
