Three Letters...

I haven't posted in a month, but not too much has changed - I am still pregnant, 37w4d today!  Everything is going well with the pregnancy.. my doctor always says Amara is a very happy baby - of course she is!  I don't think there's been another baby with more people loving her, and she isn't even born yet!!

Yesterday, Kenny, Kate and I went to tour the hospital and get some of our questions answered.. and then we had lunch - it was a beautiful day.  It was a little hard for Kenny and I, since it has never been just the three of us, it's been just me and Kate before, but usually it was the four of us.. the two guys would always hang out and talk and me and Kate would talk.. It really made us miss Nain.. :(

But, as always, it was nice to see Kate, to hear her voice, to hug her, to see her smile!   It was18 months ago when we first sat across from each other at a small Dunkin Donuts in Woonsocket and talked for the first time.. we knew what we wanted to do, we dreamed of how it would happen, but I don't think we ever imagined how great this would feel right now, 17 days until our due date, even if some things are not as perfect as we had dreamed about, it still is such an amazing feeling. MIRACLES DO HAPPEN!  And Amara is proof!   I am SO ecstatic that the next time I see Kate, she'll be becoming a mommy!!!

As great as the hospital visit and lunch was, nothing could top what came next.... Kate told me this little girl's full name name..

She will be...

Amara Lee

"Lee" to honor me!  I cannot even begin to explain the feeling this gives me - it's like a smile that I cannot wipe off, but instead of on my face (although it is there, too), it's on my heart!  It doesn't get better than this feeling.. three small letters but they will ALWAYS mean SO much to me.  I have been connect to her for the past 37 weeks, but now i'll be connected to her forever <3  Could life possibly get any better? I don't think so!
