Baby Love

Later this morning I will be heading to the hospital to pick up a sweet baby girl, Baby Love.  She is a 5 mo old with very special needs.  We are so excited to love on her and watch her tiny 8 pound 3 ounce body GROW and GROW!  Praying God goes before me and trusting that others will see HIM in all I do. 

I had a dream...

Woke up this morning right after I had a dream that Sprout's baby brother was removed from bio mom's care.  That's all I remembered but you KNOW I woke up and checked my phone and cell for any missed calls last night :)  (There were none...)  :p

New direction

This past weekend was a HUGE milestone for me. There was a large local consignment sale and I sold my double stroller, exersaucer, baby swing, gender neutral bedding sets, tons of clothes and many other items I THOUGHT would have taken YEARS for me to be ready to get 'rid' of.  So right now, I am left with an infant car seat, a pack n play, a travel crib and a bumbo seat.  So, when (if) the phone rings I either have to say no...or go shopping  :)

Court

During court yesterday, custody of Baby B was given to his father.  I left court, came home to get him and brought him back up to the court house and handed him to his father.  Praying he is safe.  Please pray for this sweet boy. We do not feel he is safe with his father.  The judge did not even ask about the living conditions or history of the bio dad and Baby B has only been with him for about 6 supervised hours in the last 11 months.  He is, essentially, a stranger. 

What in the world???

I have to laugh.  Because things like THIS only happen to me!!!!

Moments

Sprout is definitely adjusting to having another little person here.  Baby B is very easy going and always has a smile on his face.  He is quite handsome!  So many times throughout the day I stop and realize what I have.  I watch them play (or fight) and I smile knowing that God (for now) has blessed me with the desires of my heart.  Baby B is bonding well with our family.  He doesn't sleep as well as Sprout but I am learning that I don't need as much sleep as I thought I did.  Looking forward to the moment when Sprout realizes that having a 'baby brother' can be fun.  Off to enjoy my sweet baby boys.  (Baby B is not with us through foster care)  Yesterday, I found out that bio dad wants to file for custody. 
Not sure if that will happen.

It's a Baby (B)!!!

Because my life is just THIS crazy...we welcomed a new baby into our house this week.  A friend called and told me that a baby needed a possible adoptive home.  I took him in and we're waiting to see what God has planned! He is adjusting well and we are falling in love.  Sprout is adjusting to having another little person here but overall we are excited to see what God has in store for this little one!  (Baby B is NOT through foster care...we are waiting to see if it's a possible adoption situation).
