My heart is so completely full of gratitude and joy.
Sterling and Kris have experienced more than their fare share of heartache and loss. Sometimes I think the only thing that saved them was the arrival of Atticus, who was a gift not only from Heaven, but also from an angel here on earth. Atti showed them how to see the sunlight again. Though they still wanted another baby, the joy of having Atti made it all bearable. It was just a problem to solve, as opposed to a river that they couldn't cross.
And, as it so often happens, a baby comes when least expected.
On a selfish note, I am also profoundly excited to be fully present for Zoe's development and debut. Stephanie was in Wisconsin for both Kaiya and Teague, AND they both came in the middle of one of my work events. In fact, I was in the middle of the Baltic Sea when Kaiya was born. And when our dear little Kade left us far too early, I was in Prague. I hurried home as fast as I could, but it was over by the time I got there. This time I get to be here - for EVERYTHING. For the first time.
I still worry. I still say an extra little prayer every time I think about it. But mostly I am just ridiculously excited to welcome another little girl to our family. A little girl named Zoe.
