While I'm Waiting

It can't believe that it has been almost 6 months since roman was born. Today I was looking back at some of my facebook post and it brought tears to my eyes as we discovered that we were pregnant. Our family was going to be complete with the arrival of our third baby!

From the time we found out we were so anxious for the day when we could bring him home. The girls couldn't wait for him to arrive. We had a lot to look forward to. We moved to Delaware and we were so excited to put our new house together! We arrange Roman's room, washed all his clothes, and installed his carseat. Jaime and I went on one last date before we became a family of five. We had Roman's Halloween costume ready as he was suppose to come home the day of trick or treat.

Never in a million years, almost 6 months later did we ever think we would still be waiting for Roman to come home! Each day we pass an empty room, ready for the day when Roman comes home. My heart aches and longs for the day when I can hear Roman's cries, laughs, and coos coming from his room.

Waiting is so hard and it gets harder each day. When I reflect over the last six months so much has changed. I believe family dynamics's have changed the most. Jaime and I love to be hands on parents. The girls have really accepted the new "normal". While we wait we try to make the most of each day. We hug our girls tighter, play harder, and make sure we say we love you daily.

Never take a single day for granted! Happy 6 month birthday beautiful boy!!
