I am sitting in my living room waiting for our 9 month old precious baby boy to come home - for good! That is such a wonderful, blessed feeling! Yes, I know I am using lots of exclamation points, but they reflect how I am feeling.
We met him for the first time yesterday. He is such a happy baby. He is so adorable with chubby little cheeks and even chubby little feet. He appears a bit small for his age, but I didn't meet Austin this young, so I have nothing to compare it to. He doesn't have any teeth yet. But he is crawling well and even trying to stand a little.
It is an interesting process to meet your child for the first time with a social worker sitting in your living room watching you. We are getting him today for good and I think the time with just our family will be really nice.
It is a bit overwhelming to think of being mommy to 3 children age 3 and under, but God is good and has provided us a wonderful family - just hoping all 3 can stay with us forever. That remains to be seen.
We are packing the car and leaving for Ohio to see my family about 3:30 pm today. I'm a little scared about that, having not had the baby at all to figure out a schedule for him. But we will make it. And being with family will make sure each child feels special during this initial bonding time.
What a blessing to be given a precious baby boy again. I am so thankful for how God works. I have become a mommy to 3 beautiful children in a period of 3 weeks. Crazy how things work out sometimes.
I am so thankful for the support of my husband, and friends and family. We couldn't be doing this without all the support and love that we have.
More to follow about our precious baby as we progress down this new adventure that is our lives!
