Bringing C Home!!!

We got the call, and we are going to get him Thursday morning!!! We are heading down tomorrow and than will be heading back with our son Thursday afternoon. I am so grateful to the amazing caseworkers and so grateful to everyone who has been keeping us in their thoughts and prayers. I am so grateful to our sweet angels, and feeling them especially close to us yesterday and today. I have been really stressed and patience has been non-existant (not to mention, a lovely affect of being a woman came and brought some super fun hormones!) It was neat this morning, and even yesterday. I kept feeling like we would find out today, but I was too scared to get my hopes up. But it literally felt like Lilly and Ryker kept coming and just kept letting us know that it would happen. Someday, when we are reunited with them, I would like to know if really and truly it was them there with us. I feels like it, so strongly. They bring a different kind of peace. But I guess it is something I will just have to believe and not see for right now. They want the couple who has been taking care of C to have some transition time. If it were up to me, I would have him tomorrow. But I will have to patient just one more day. We truly understand what it is like to say goodbye to someone that you have cared for the last 5 1/2 weeks of their life. You see, Lilly was 5 1/2 weeks when we had to say goodbye to her, and she entered the embrace of loving family and her loving Heavenly parents. It is hard, but life continues. Anyways, we will update through Twitter, while we are down there. Thank-you again for all the prayers. We are being blessed with a miracle!!!

  1. Hi. I stumbled upon your blog through some of the "Heart" babies blogs. My friend has a friend with a heart baby. So touching, all of your stories. You all have made me strive to be a better Mom and person daily. I also happened to see you on Seriously So Blessed as the makeover winner :) I remember telling my husband of your story with such admiration of your strength! I am thrilled for your latest blessing. I have added you to my gmail reader and would love to keep updated. If you go private, I understand, I don't have a blog but love to read others :) You and your family are such a great examples to everyone!
