Showers... Mommies and babies!

What is better than one mommy? Two mommies! My very dear childhood friend and her wonderful partner recently adopted a beautiful baby with special needs.  It was one of the only reasons I would even consider putting Cecily in the car for a necessary road-trip to the Bay! It was pure joy to see my friend holding her daughter, caring for her and loving her in a way that all children deserve to be loved. She is a natural Mommy.  She has a big heart with so much love to share and this little angel will grow and thrive in her new home.  She is a very lucky little girl! To see this beautiful family together after their long fight was a gift and a reminder of how lucky we all are to be Moms! Is there any better role?

I cried when I saw my friend with her daugther.  I had to run to the bathroom to compose myself as I was overcome with emotion. It was just such a happy moment and I felt so privileged to be a part of their special day.  I wish all children could know the love that this baby will receive from not only her two mommies, but her extended family, too. The air was full of love. The smiles on everyone's faces and the energy at the adoption celebration was contagious. Perhaps there was something in the water...I think I got the baby bug again!

I am grateful to have such good family and friends. I am grateful for the lovely visit we shared and for the chance to hold this adorable, little girl. I am overwhelmed with the love my friend's have for their child and I wish this unconditional love for every child, every person and everyone.  What a beautiful place the world would be if there were more people like them.

We headed home quickly because despite the joy of the visit... Cecily was not herself. She wasn't sleeping, had trouble feeding and just seemed to be in pain for most of the weekend. We piled in the car and I prayed she would feel better.  Unfortunately she didn't and we were admitted to the hospital. She's finally resting and taking IV fluids while they test, poke and prod to get to the bottom of this latest hiccup.  We are grateful as our little ladybug is being watched by her wonderful medical team. Plus... she got to see Miss Stacy and Miss Katie - her all-time favorite Rady's nurses! It makes such a difference to see familiar faces when checked in at Hotel de Radys. 

I am now watching her sleep and I am wondering if perhaps I should take advantage of this very comfortable chair... She looks comfortable and peaceful. I hope that this will continue tomorrow.  Onwards and upwards!
