more than a gift.

Last week, a good friend stopped by with a gift for me. she had been waiting for us to receive our referral...so I opened the bag to find this adorable sling. 

{side note: last January, we were on our annual moms' getaway up north and we saw this...I was admiring it..couldn't justify it...she remembered...}

I loved wearing o-boy (still do!) and I can guarantee that I will love wearing babyu. I can't wait to get my hands on our sweet boy and put him in this beautiful sling....

just the thought makes me smile (and tear up;).

In almost every photo that we have of our sweet bean, he is snuggling whoever is holding him, holding their fingers or shirt...just a cuddly boy. We got an email today with some new pics and a couple of paragraphs about him from a girl who served at the baby home. 

She wrote this:

 He LOVES to cuddle. He is content to just rest on your hip from sun up to sun down. 

I am so ready to hold him from sun up to sun down...I can't wait!! 

My sweet friend, who gave my the sling, also gave me a beautiful letter. 

This is a portion of it:

P.S.  I love the name of this sling - Marigold, which in the language of flowers means...

"Comfort of the heart and sacred affection"

Perfect meaning for your sweet boy who already loves to love!

Perfect. He does love to love. And so. do. we.
