Pictures and all the details about our wonderful week will be coming soon. Maybe tonight while baby sleeps and hubby works.
But, as I sit here and listen to Hazel breathing on the baby monitor, and look at the pile of toys on the living room floor, and the messy spoon sticky with green beans (her favorite), I am overwhelmed.
How grateful I am that I wasn't able to get pregnant. How grateful I am that time after time, our fertility treatments left us empty. I could have been a mother, but I could not have been Hazel's mother, and for that, I am grateful for failure. Everything we endured, all the pain and longing, has been returned to us in the form of joy and happiness- 10 fold.
Goodness, how I love my little Hazel, my eternal daughter, my halloween ninja.
