Tonight we were showered with love, support, & gifts by our friends & family! We were so humbled by their outpouring & the excitement they share with us!
Thank you ALL! God has blessed us with the most amazing group of people to share this journey with! It is so hard to believe that this time next week, we will be getting ready to meet our daughter for the first time! God is so good!
We had a great time with you guys at your celebration! Enjoyed meeting your friends and family. Your daughter is certainly going to be loved by many! Talk to you soon.
