**You can go here to read the top 10 Virtual Baby Shower finalists stories! Here's mine.**
Oh, Anna. Do you remember when I told you about the impending birth and adoption over at Sincerely Anna? Well, last week Anna and her family were called by the birth family and their precious, adorable baby, Emily was born. If you go to Anna's blog, (and you should) you will be there for hours, crying the whole time, no less. Adoption is such a miracle.
Thanks to Tracey, I was introduced to a Debbie who was pregnant with twins. I have actually been following her story since before I even knew I was pregnant. So, when I found out I was having twins, I knew there was another Mama in the bloggy world that I could relate to. We've e-mailed back and forth a few times sharing stories and thoughts on twin pregnancies and yesterday she gave birth to a little boy and a little girl. Somehow their births have made my pregnancy so real. You should check out these two adorable bundles!
And finally, I have HUGE, EXCITING NEWS. Steph e-mailed me back in January after my post announcing my pregnancy telling me about a huge virtual baby shower where the girls at Pinks and Blues Girls Blog are showering one lucky Mama-to-Be with a ton of baby items. OVER $2,000 worth of items. I happened to meet all of the requirements to be able to nominate myself. They had over 552 nominations and I have made it into the TOP TEN LIST OF FINALISTS! Now it's down to an on-line vote to determine the winner. Voting does not begin until Monday, 2/25, but starting tomorrow you can go and read my story and the nine other stories that are up for vote. I found out the other day and I have to say, this was one secret that was hard to keep! I am so excited and just so honored to be among the top 10 finalists! I'll be sure to remind you when the voting opens, I mean, you do want me to win, right?!?!
You can count on me to stir up some voters for you!!!!
