7 Weeks...

Well, there is less than 7 weeks until Cassie is due and we couldn't be more excited. We really have been trying to get Karsen's room completed and buy all of the essentials. It has been such an amazing experience even buying all of the stuff. I didn't realize how down I was for a while. I thought I was always my usual energetic and happy self, but since we found out that Karsen was coming, life has a whole new meaning. I have so much more energy and happiness as I go to work, as I run in the morning, as I read my scriptures,as Ron and I go on our walks, etc. I am just filled with so much joy and gratitude for this sweet baby boy and his amazing mother that will bless our family so much. Sometimes I am just driving down the road and just feel complete happiness. If I feel that way now, I cannot even imagine how it will feel when we actually bring Karsen home. I will forever love Cassie for giving me this happiness. Truly Cassie is my hero and I don't know a more selfless and loving person. I am so excited to go to dinner with her and her mom in a couple of days. I have learned so much through our adoption journey. One of which is just how grateful I am for the precious children in my life and also the sacred blessing it is to be a mother. Never take your children for granted:) Yeah, The countdown begins!! As soon as we have Karsen's room put together, I will make sure to post pictures!!
