Now ... I know what you are thinking ... Did MINI lose more weight?

Nope ... in fact I am gaining it (not on me, but keep reading to find out what I mean). So, why the NSV?

Because it is a baby!!!!!! We are in the whirlwind process of adopting a newborn baby boy. I have wanted to adopt for years, but it never seemed to work out. Well, the Lord provides in very mysterious ways and suddenly we are adopting and have less than 3 weeks until his due date. We are so excited!!!!

So, why is this a NSV? Because even though I will be an older mom (in my 40's), I probably have more strength and vitality than I did with my pregnancy 10 years ago. I'm sure there will be a lot of late nights & being worn out, but I know I am in much better physical shape and can keep up with this little guy.

I'll share again when he is here!

That's so awesome!!!! Congrats!!!!

Wow! Congratulations!! I'm excited for you--what a wonderful thing to welcome a new child into your family.

OH that is so wonderful, and just think you do not get all the morning sickness, the sore back, the sore b@@bies! You just get the adorable after, the cute little baby!!! You are so Blessed! God does work in wonderful ways doesn't he!

Remember age is only a number it is how you feel that determines your true age, and from what I've seen you are still a very young healthy person!!!
