It Feels Real Now

While I was driving to work this morning, it hit me (and I mean, really hit me) that I would be holding my baby girl soon. Not just in the “yes, I have xx many more days” way. But suddenly, it was so real to me that I could almost feel her in my arms and smell her sweet smell. I feel like I talk about crying in every post (and before this adoption process I really wasn’t a crier!), but again I felt the tears welling up. It seems so real now. After spending so long with just a notional idea of a child and then traveling around the world to actually meet her, it’s just hard for it to feel “real” at times. But now it IS real! She is really coming home!
