MAYA KNOWS ME!!!

WHAT IS THIS THING THAT I AM SITTING IN???
OH, NO NOT THE PATCHWORK PANTS AGAIN!!
CHECK OUT MY BIG BROWN EYES!!
"WORTH THE WAIT"!!!!
PEEK-A-BOO!!!!

I HAD A SPANISH SPEAKING FRIEND CALL MAYA'S FOSTERMOM THIS MORNING. SHE SAID THAT MAYA WAS DOING GREAT. SHE TOLD ME THAT SHE KNOWS WHO HER MOMMY IS. THE NIGHT THAT I GAVE HER BACK THE ONLY THING THAT WOULD SOOTHE HER WAS THE TEDDY BEAR WITH MY VOICE. THE FM SAID THAT NOW WHEN SHE HEARS MY VOICE SHE STARTS TO KICK AND LAUGH THEN SHE REALIZES THAT I AM NOT THERE AND SHE GETS FRETFUL. I HAD NO IDEA THAT SHE HAD A CLUE WHO I WAS. I THOUGHT SHE JUST THOUGHT I WAS THIS CRAZY WOMAN WITH TONS OF CLOTHES FOR HER. I THOUGHT ALL ALONG THAT THESE VISIT WERE ONLY HARD FOR ME.

    You darn right she knows who her mommy is!
    Each picture is more precious then the last. What a beautiful girl! And so happy!
    Did they give you any timeline for pink Ginger?
    I have seen anywhere from 2-6 weeks.
    Hopefully yours is very fast. This is the absolute
    best time of the whole process because now you know it is going to end. I am so happy for you.

    Smart and beautiful and very blessed, that is Maya! I just love to look at her eyes. You can just drown in them. I think the last part is going to be the hardest in the waiting game. So close, so close and yet not quite there. Arghhh!

    You are Maya's mommy and she knows that. Of course she misses you just as you miss her. You are bonded together forever.
