I’ll let you in on a secret…
I received my referral! He’s the most beautiful little boy in the world (ok, at least to me), and the most wonderful thing is that he was born on my grandmother’s birthday. Even in normal circumstances this would have been incredibly special to me, given how much I adore my grandmother, but she’s now in the late stages of Alzheimer’s, which makes this so bittersweet. The past few years have been very difficult for my mother, and quite honestly, no one in the family really talks about grandma because it is too painful to discuss what has happened to this beautiful woman. I’m not a religious person, but I do consider myself spiritual, and I believe it is a sign that this little boy was meant to be my son. I’m excited to meet him sometime soon. Off to gaze at his picture (again).

WOW!!! Congratulations…you must be over-the-moon excited!! I’m so happy for you! Bet you’re glad you got the crib together, ‘eh?!
CONGRATULATIONS!!!
Congratulations!!! I am so happy for you! I am confident that he IS the most beautiful boy in the world! What a great coincidence that C’s b-day is the same as your grandmother’s. Very special. (I just lost my grandmother a couple of years ago, and would have loved to be able to introduce my child to my grandmother.) Hopefully the joy of C will help your mother, too.
Any idea when you will get to travel to pick him up? Are you going to take the full four months of FMLA? I am, and I am so excited to take that full time to be home with my little one! Have you “introduced” your son to the partners at work, or are you waiting until you have actually absorbed this wonderful news?
Congrats, again!
YAYAYAY!! WHOO HOO Congratulations!!! That’s such fantastic news!!!!!
