Today Sweet Pea is 17 months old. I'm thinking back to how far she has come in her little life. From starting out at only 2 pounds and spending months in the NICU only to have doctors debate what they could do to help this sick little girl, wondering if she could even survive the heart surgery she ended up getting at 5 months old. Fast forward to 7 months old when she came to live with us and was still so small (only 10 pounds) and so tense all the time. Now here she is standing in front of me, this sweet tiny little ball of energy and love, wanting me to chase her down the hall and giggling all the way.
We are so very lucky to have this tiny miracle in our lives. We had a weight check at the pediatrician last week and were thrilled that she gained over a pound in the past month, so now she's up to just over 16 pounds. 16 pounds at 17 months.
Adoption Day is Friday.
We go to the CPS office tomorrow to sign adoptive contracts and read her file. This really is happening. She really will be ours forever. It's still all so surreal.
