What I wore to meet my NEW DAUGHTER!

Brianna (website)

As many of you know, my husband and I have been winding our way through the domestic newborn adoption process for many months now (years, actually). Last weekend we dropped off the last of the paperwork for our homestudy and took a short celebratory vacation to Seattle, expecting to wait at least a year and possibly several years before being matched with a baby.

Well! On the evening of May 5 we got a call that a baby girl had been born the day before and that her mother wanted us to be her parents! On May 8, the day before my 28th birthday, we brought our little Chickadee home. She's the most calm, peaceful, relaxed, happy, and, of course, BEAUTIFUL baby I've ever met. We love her so much already. She's currently sleeping in a laundry basket (when you have a grand total of 3 hours to shop for baby stuff, you make do! She does have a bassinet in the bedroom, don't worry.)

Here's a picture of us and some info on what I wore on one of the happiest days of my life!

If you'd like a link to the family blog I've started, where I'll post more photos of us and the Chickadee, email me at b-r-a-s-h-n-y-b-e-r-g@gmail.com (remove the hyphens first).

What incredible news- Congratulations, Brianna! And a big Happy, Happy Mother's day to you.

You're right, your fashion will change but you're so lucky that you've worked on it before the baby. You won't fall into the "I give up" rut so many of did. Hugs and kisses to you and your new family.

I missed this yesterday but CONGRATS!!! This is so exciting!!!

P.s. do not apologize about the laundry basket: my mom used to keep us kids in a laundry basket too, and we all turned out fine! They were poor college students when they started their family and couldn't afford anything more. Babies do not need much, just a lot of love!!!
