Well received

I don't anticipate well nor do I like surprises nor do I have any patience but despite my nerves and being either on the verge of tears or the verge of barfing, we made it through and told the majority of our families! Everyone seems happy and supportive and I am SO relieved its over! But boy am I in for it! I feel like Gods really gonna force me to work on that patience thing through this...

Part of me wonders if our families don't feel at least a smidgen of the sadness we felt before we decided this was the way (as if we actually decided anything). Like does BabyB have his nose or hers? Does BabyB like peaches, because Pop never did. Those kinds of things. And then part of me says, who cares. BabyB will be as much a part of Nick and I as any other part of our family is. Like Stitch said, "ohana means family and family means no one gets left behind". He didn't say, "ohana means 'great I got Dads ears'" or whatever. I'm pretty sure he meant that family isn't just the people you happen to be related to by DNA. Its the people you make your family.
