Let the Good Times Begin.

Poor Mike, he is doing everything he can to avoid going to the hospital. So we see the doctor once, sometimes twice a day for Mike to get shots of antibiotics. He is also on some pretty strong meds to kick the pneumonia's butt. He is pretty weak, and still has a bit of ways to go before he is going to be really well again. I've slept on the couch two nights in a row, so that Mike can sleep(cough) through the night (or maybe better that at least one of can sleep!) We had an inspection today to make sure our home is livable (did I mention that the sweet guy did come about 30 minutes early) but he was such a kind-hearted man and we passed with flying colors! I really do not think it will be longer than a week, but we just do not know. So anyways, thank-you for your prayers. There are such a strength to us through this time. We can not wait to bring little C home, and start to bond and share some firsts with him. Even though it will not be some of his firsts, it will firsts for us. So we are ready to bring him home, to be able to be his Mommy and Daddy. Hopefully, thinks will fall into place and he will be with us this time next week!

  1. I am sorry that Mike has been dealing with this illness. No fun for you or him. I hope that he gets feeling better very soon.
    I am glad that you were not given a hard time and you passed your home inspection with flying colors.
    I was completely serious about what I talked with you about in the car. . .so start getting a list together so we can get this planned out. I can't wait to celebrate you and your new addition!

  3. I just want you to know that I didn't get to meet my daughter until she was almost 2. The bonding was instant. And even though I missed so many first, I find that I had new firsts that no one else gets to share with me. The first time I saw her she was riding on a little bike. That memory will always be with me and I can bet there are only few that have a memory like that. The only thing that is weird, is that I have no emotional connection to her birthdate. Other days are more special to me: Her adoption day, Her Gotcha Day (the first day we were together for real), Her sealing day. The only real saddness for me is the LACK of pictures taken of her during those two years. I am so glad your sweet baby has a nice family that is doing their best to include you and keep a good record of your baby's life. I wish you luck on all your first, hope your husband gets better real quick, and I pray everyday that your baby will come to you soon.
