   Congratulations! I can’t believe the year has flown by so quickly… and I can’t believe I’ve been reading your blog for over a year as well. I started reading your blog when I was out of work with a high risk pregnancy and I remember looking forward to the daily updates… especially during those long days in the hospital. Those surely were special times for you and your family and I thank you for sharing them with us.

   Michelle, there’s NO WAY that was a year ago! It seems like just yesterday you and Steve were sitting on our couch in Antigua, looking a bit overwhelmed, and asking a million questions about groceries, utilities, restaurants, and WATER DELIVERY! Remember the joy of seeing the big blue bottle of agua arrive? 🙂

   Congratulations on your Gotcha Day!

    I remember meeting you (and Steve) in the airport on our way to Guat. You to stay until completion, me to visit. I looked exhausted and you had that deer-in-headlights-I-can’t-believe-I-am-doing-this-look on your face. You may not even remember meeting me. I can’t believe it has already been a year since then!!!!

    Happy Anniversary!

    BTW, people kept telling me I didn’t look pregnant, too. I wanted to drop kick them all because HELLO I was a size 4, gained 65 pounds all in the stomach, and looked like I had swallowed a Yoga ball. Telling me I didn’t look pregnant was basically telling me I have always looked like a beached whale. Not nice. But, I think it’s just people trying (and failing) to say you look good.

    Congratulations! You have inspired me to go back and read your blog from the beginning to read the whole story. I can so relate with the whole fertility issues/changing mindset towards adoption process.

    Our Gotcha Day is May 24th 2 years ago.
