Alia is sleeping. This morning my whole body felt as if it was going to explode. Tonight, it is just my heart. Truly. As I stood next to Alia's crib and listened to Scott moving about the house, my heart felt like it expanded 10 times over.
Then, Luca stepped out of his room and asked me if Alia was sleeping. I said, "Yes, do you want to come in and see?" Yes . . . so he peeked in her crib and looked up at me and whispered, "Is she comfortable?" My heart then expanded 10 more times.
Pinch me.

So happy to read that Alia has landed. I am beyond excited for you Angela! While one journey has come to an end, another one is just beginning. Enjoy!
Heart expansion-great term, and so true.
I know the feeling so well-it's wonderful-and the cool thing is-that our hearts have enermous flexibility-they can keep expanding-just like the Grinch's heart grew-so do ours. :)
congratulations on your dream coming true! :)
Thank you so much, Angela and Scott, for sharing this amazing journey with us. Every Kaz adoption story is special, but every journey is different. We are so humbled to have been able to follow along with your ups and downs, getting to know more about you and your entire family along the way. We are just so happy that you are now settling into every day living. May you have immense joy and may everyone be "comfortable" every single day!

Brings tears to my eyes! I'm so happy for all of you! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
I am so happy for your family, to be together and complete! Hayden sends his sentiments "cute baby!" He wanted to see all the pictures of her, so we checked them all out. I would pinch you if I was there, just to show you it is real and this life isn't just a dream. All the struggles and waiting have been for this moment.
