Here's is how my day went on February 22,2011

I get up Tuesday morning,and I have a text from the birth mother saying that her water broke, so I was besides myself...I took McKenna to school, then I went a got a massage to relax, which wasn't easy...then my phone started ringing off the hook...I was getting up to the minute updates and it looked like the birth mom was not going to deliver until later on that night, which would be perfect, since My flight was scheduled to arrive at 7:30 pm in hawaii. I tried to get on an earlier flight, but nothing was available, so I just kept to my original plan...I spent the day with my dogs explaining to them that I would be gone for a few weeks, and when I got back, I would be bringing home their brother...they just stared at me, and at one point laid down and rolled over...this moment brought back a lot of memories, because the last time I left them for a long time was when I left to get Mckenna from Kazakhstan. My eyes started to tear up, because it brought back all the emotions I had 5 years ago. What are the chances that I would be given this miracle??. Probably 1 in a million, what are the chances that it would be from my hometown??, and what are the chances that it would be born 2 days before my birthday, just like McKenna whose birthday is 2 days before Craigs birthday??? This was definitely meant to be and I am the luckiest person on this earth...I have everything I ever wanted in my life...a wonderful husband, a beautiful little girl named Mckenna, the best doggies, the most amazing family that supported me through my journey, and now Cameron to complete it. Well, the moment you've all been waiting for....here is Cameron Suzuki Burnett..

3 cm's now

The baby is 6 pounds and the birth mom is now 3cm...I just spoke to her and she is doing well. She is getting really big and wobbling around, but doing good overall...she is such an amazing women! I am leaving to meet her in 4 days and Craig will arrive a few days later. My family is getting the house ready and my cousin Tammy just gave us a lot of stuff to get started. I still haven't packed yet for my trip...I figured all i need are some clothes, slippers and my Vitality pills to keep me going. My next post will be in Hawaii...Stay tuned to meet Cameron!

2cm dilated

The birth mom is 2cm dilated...hmmm, can she stay at 2cm for another 2 weeks, or is it likely that she will deliver early...?? We shall see..She will see the doctor on Saturday, so we will have a better idea then. I will keep all of you posted..have a great Friday!

The name is IN!

It's official, Craig picked Cameron, and I added Suzuki as the middle name....It's a relief we got a name picked out, because we were just calling him the "boy"...Mckenna is getting excited and so am I. I am looking forward to celebrating with my girlfriends on Saturday which is being hosted by an amazing girlfriend named Lora. Thank you Lora!!! My best friend Jill is driving all the way up from San Diego and I got other girls driving up from Orange County...you guys are the best!!! I am also looking forward to celebrating an early Valentines Day with my amazing husband...I am planning it, because then, a few days later, we have to celebrate our 10 year Anniversary, which Craig will plan...Then, we are off to Hawaii to celebrate our new addition and my birthday..Wow, we are going to be busy.. Once again, thanks to all of you for your continued support and excitement...we couldn't have done it without all of you!!! Love you!

Update

The baby is six pounds and doing very well...We are still on schedule for a February 24th delivery, but who knows...I picked up a few newborn pajamas and shirts to bring to Hawaii with me, since I don't have anything there. My mom and dad are excited about our arrival and spending two whole weeks with a newborn. I asked my dad if he wanted us to stay somewhere else or maybe I could get him some Bose earphones to block the noise...he said "no", he would be fine. We still haven't pick the name...Craig asked me to email my list, and he would consider them...I think he is leaning towards Cameron...he does not like Logan, because he said it reminds him of Logan International Airport..he doesn't like Brayden, because he think the initials BB are a bit too much. I think we will have a name in about a week, so hang tight...I will post more pictures as they come to me..have a good day!!!

Introducing Burnett Baby #2

3 more weeks until baby2 is due

I am starting to get excited about our new arrival, but yet it seems too good to be true. I have been through so much, that it's really hard to believe that this is for real. I am working with an amazing birth mother, who i admire for her strength and unbelievable attitude. She has made this so easy for us. We also have a team of great attorneys in Hawaii and here in Marina Del Rey. I am always informed and they are always looking out for my best interest. We put together the crib this weekend and Mckenna has moved into another room, since the baby will take her room. She is very excited and can't wait to be a BIG sister, because she likes to be the Boss! Craig seems to be excited, but doesn't show it much, because he is tentative as well, because of all the heartache we have been through. I just have to say that I have been blessed and it seems that finally my day has come to have everything go my way...I couldn't ask for a better birthday, which is the due date of the baby.
