January 19th

January 19th is an important date for us here at the VBK house.  

6 years ago today, January 19, 2005, I had a miscarriage and we said goodbye to Baby VBK.  We said goodbye to the little baby that we would never hold or cuddle, the one that my arms would ache for.  I still think about that baby and how different our lives would be if things had been different.  

One year ago today, January 19, 2010, I got a call from the attorney and heard the words that J loved our profile and wanted to meet us, that she wanted us to parent N.  I was even able to talk to J on the phone!  Oh my, how amazing that day was.  You can read more about it here:

And today, on January 19, 2011, I'm the mommy of a now 10 month old little man!!

Happy 10 Months N!!  We love you SOOO much!

He had just woken up this morning when I took this picture, so please excuse his bed head and tired face.  

His 10 month update will be coming this weekend.
