Today I have been thinking a great deal about Coedy and Christina, Zellie's birth-parents.
even when she is sleeping. She has stolen my whole heart.
I wonder how often they think about her.
I wonder if we send them enough pictures or too many.
I wonder if they know how grateful we are and how much we love them.
I wonder if they know we pray for them daily.
I wonder if they are healing, if they are okay.
They are such amazing people. As I fall in love more and more each day with this special little girl it is hard to comprehend how they were able to let her go. It must have been such a difficult moment. I feel so grateful for our Savior and Him having a hand in this. What always brings me peace, is knowing and remembering when they placed Zellie in her carseat and kissed her goodbye, not one tear was shed. They were completely confident she was ours....and they were thrilled for us.
Zellie has both Kris and I wrapped right around her finger. Even though she is really spoiled and hardly ever NOT in our arms I really don't mind. I don't want to miss out on one second of being able to love and cuddle her. We waited so long for her to come. I think that makes us love her all the more.
I get emotional almost daily as I hold my little angel in my arms and kiss her cute little cheeks. She is so special and has touched so many lives in her 54 days on this earth. I tell her everyday she is the most special girl in the world and I am the most lucky woman in the world to be her Mom.

MiRanda, you are an AMAZING mother! She is absolutely beautiful and most perfect! Thank you for sharing your story - it is amazing to consider all of the things one never realizes they take for granted. And I include myself as one of those who has been blessed by your sweet little Zellie. My testimony grows as I read your story, and I feel her sweet love!
I love reading your blog. You are amazing. Zellie is getting big and she is so cute. Adalyn is on my lap and she said "Look cute baby"
I seriously can't stop being happy for you guys! She is just darling! Keep posting those pictures!
Such cute pictures of her! It is crazy to see her sitting up!!! She has the sweetest little face.
she is getting so big!! Its cute to see her sitting in that bumbo chair.
She does look a lot like Christina.
So precious.
She looks so beautiful and big. And so strong sitting up in her bumbo. I'm glad you hold her a lot. I don't care what anyone says, you can't spoil a newborn. And now that all of my kids are getting too busy to want to be held very often, I long for those moments when they had no choice. :-) You are amazing, and I love your always giving perspective on this new life you have embraced.
Little Zellie is beautiful, just like her MOTHER! :) Thank-you for sharing her with all of us. Her eyes are to die for...word for the wise. You will NEVER win when she looks up at you with those!!
