Introducing...the Princess...
So many emotions in one day. How many tears of joy have been shed over this precious little baby girl today? It is such a humbling experience...we are so blessed.
Dori Grace was born on August 22...and she's a tiney little thing...5 pounds, 5 oz...if my calculations are correct...and she is in Can Tho.
And I, the one that has dreaded this trip from day one, can't WAIT to get on that freakin' plane!
Here is our perspective:
Me: "WB, we've got a big surprise for you."
WB: "We're number one on the list?"
Me: "No....better than that!"
(He looks dazed and confused)
Me: "What's better than being number one on the list?"
WB: "Getting to go to T*R*Us and buying everything I want?????"
Me: "Better...they found Dori Grace!"
His eyes light up and he jumps into my arms and he hugs my neck as I cry on his shoulder.
We've finally got a sister.
Thank you Lord.

Congratulations! What a doll! I was just scrolling back through your post about feeling like she had been born - how crazy that Dori was just a week old when you wrote that! I hope your wait is a short one and that your sweet baby girl is soon in your arms.

Oh!! We saw your little princess when we were in Can Tho. She was only 18 days old at the time and so tiny!!
I have a picture of my wife holding her. We'll get it to Jynger so she can send it to you.
What a lovely thing! It seems that she was totally worth the wait! :) We are also in the north OKC area, and some of us have been getting together for playtime for the kids and chat-time for the Moms. We'd love to have you too! E-mail me at billpaulaandwill@gmail.com if you are interested!
