Two Years Ago Today

Two years ago today we met the most amazing woman--we met Minnow's firstmom. Muskie Man and I took a trip to Colorado to meet the woman who was 7 months pregnant with a baby that could potentially be our daughter! It was an exciting, emotional, scary adventure, and that was just our side of it. I can't imagine the feelings and emotions that N was experiencing.

We met at a restaurant and a social worker was with N to kind of lead the conversation. Things went very well. We talked and laughed and even cried a little. N told us that she was talking to the baby that morning and told the baby that she would be hearing her mommy and daddy's voices that day. What do you say to that?! Amazing!

We didn't know what to expect at the meeting. What do you say? "Hi, nice to meet you, can we have your baby, please?" We were so grateful the social worker was there to ease our anxiety and lead the conversation.

N wanted to spend more time with us. We spent the whole next day with her. We went on a picnic and drove to see Pike's Peak. It was an unforgettable day. At one point the baby was kicking and N grabbed Muskie Man's hand and put it on her belly. He said, "Wow, that's cool!" That is a great memory.

The trip was wonderful, we met the most amazing, special person, the first mother of our daughter to whom we are forever grateful.

We took this picture the day before we met N. Muskie Man and I ventured to the Rockies for the afternoon. To me, it is the most beautiful picture and it symbolizes the beautiful person we would meet the next day.
