Hello!! On the 22nd of March I went down town St Louis to pick up our sweet tiny new foster baby. Little 10 week early baby boy or baby J as we call him weighed in at just over 3 lbs. He is the sweetest most adorable thing I have ever seen since our Luke came home. Caring for this little guy has only shown me just what our Luke never got as an infant and it can bring me to tears as I see reminders of it all the time. One week after he came I noticed a bulge in his groin and long story short we spent a week together in the hospital. He had a double hernia repair and that is and was a big set back for a preemie. He is now two months old and doing well his last weight was 5lb 10oz so I am excited to see what he gained this week. This has been way too much fun!
Luke is in love with baby J and insist that he is from Ethiopia. We were reading a book the other night about adoption and when it got to the part that some babies come home from the hospital and some come on and air plane, I told Luke how he came on an air plane and J come from the hospital. Luke said, "No baby J came on an airplane from Ethiopia and I am a super hero so I came home from Ethiopia in a rocket ship!" So there you have it.
Baby calls!!!! Oh I am so tired, teens, tots, and babies make life so eventful!
You are amazing!!
