Baby Girl

Baby Ashlei

Tonight was an emotional night at our house. Most days I do well thinking about you and keeping my emotions under control. When I think about how long it's going to take to get to you, I'm sometimes overwhelmed. I'm really praying that you aren;t even born yet, so that when we do come and take you home, you won;t have spent so much time in the orphanage. I was putting your older two sisters to bed and they wanted me to rub their backs and sing to them. Daddy was in the living room rocking Annalyse to sleep. I was so overwhelmed with the fact that someone else might be putting you to bed. At our house, we don;t let our babies cry themselves to sleep very often. One of daddy's favorite things to do is rock his girls to sleep. It breaks my heart to think you are crying yourself to sleep at night. We promise to never let you do that. Daddy and I talked about you a lot tonight and he can;t wait to let you fall asleep on him on the couch. We are praying that someone is taking good care of you while you wait for us. We know that God is watching over you and preparing your heart for us. Goodnight, baby girl.

Wow! What an overwhelming thought! It's so obvious to me that Ashlei will soon (don't know how soon, but soon) be in your arms, sleeping in your house!!

Trying to be patient,
