Sometimes I just lie in bed and dream about my Karleigh Mei. Thinking about it, it is not any different from when I was pregnant with my four other children. I'm falling in love with Karleigh Mei exactly the same way I did all of my children. I have the same "fuzzy" dreams of what she may look like--and I have no doubt that I will think she is the most beautiful child! I think of when I will be able to hold her and tell her how much I love her. I talk to the Lord about her and pray that she will become all that He has planned for her. I envision her sitting at the table with us. Sitting in the car with us. Sitting in the grocery cart at Super Target. Going to church with us. Playing in the yard. Running through the house. Taking a bath. Tucking in at night. There is not a place I've NOT "seen" her in my mind. I wonder if next year at this time if we will know anything about her. My peace and comfort is that the Lord is working in His awesome way--He knows the beginning and the end of our story and has a perfect plan. I rest in this. I love you my Karleigh Mei--may God surround you with His love continuously--His love is perfect.

Keep Dreaming!
You touched my very soul with this post - I remember dreaming with Emily and when she arrived with that red hair and smiling, she exceeded every single expectation I could ever have and has continued to do so in these five years! Then, when we made the decision to adopt, I thought somehow it would be different...miraculously, it is not. Hannah is so different than the child my dreams held and I am so incredibly blessed by her - we all are. She is teaching us and learning through us everyday. It is a miracle. My wish for you is to be united with your Karleigh as quickly as possible. We will accompany you on this journey if you'd like the moral support:)Blessings,
Heather
Hey Jenn~
Feeling a little melancholy about the wait and I read this...So beautiful. It spurs me on to keep dreaming, too, and to step up the praying for this next little girl I can't picture.
I love how you enjoy your four special kids SO MUCH but know so confidently you have room to love Karleigh Mei SO MUCH. It reminds me the heart is such an amazing organ!
Hope you are having a lovely holiday season.
Love,
Lisa
