Big things

Today we received the adoption packet for D. We are hoping to get a court date within the next 4 months. All depends on how fast they can get our homestudy completed, good thing we just renewed our foster license so that way they can get everything from there. Hoping that will have everything they need to prove and they can just submit to the courts within a few weeks. The worker said that she'd had some come back after three weeks and some come back past the 60 days.... fingers crossed!

Quick update

As I don't have a ton of time... I'm being beckoned in the back ground to the sounds of my 18 month old..."Mummumma...Mummumma..." :-) Anyway today was court for two kiddos. Mr D who was finally set free, pending the 15 day appeal-which will be denied, and Miss S, which ended in trial dates confirmed because delusional biodad reappears after 6 months to request visits and custody and to contest the severance.

Trial is Aug 12th... so at least there is that. Now we just have to update our adoption homestudy and get this going to make Mr. D an offical member of our family!!!

I seriously almost cried when I heard the words severed. Its been such a long emotional journey.

Too little to be big

Spud who is not even 7 months old apparently will hold the title of big brother in what appears to be 4-5 months.... According to BM page and obvious baby bump... She reports to be able to tell gender of said bump in a week or so.


SMH

Sorry so long since my last update

but there have been a lot of things going on... not all of them good... so I will update soon... we do have some good things in the works...

Triplets six months apart?

Who else had babies 6 months apart except us? Emily is the odd man out but she's seemed to show more interest in seeing what is going on in her world around her and being more social as the babies discover the same thing.

Full house

The call...

We received the call today for a little guy to come and stay with us for awhile. I have no idea about where this will go or if this Mamma has the support and parenting skills she will need to parent him. He's a preemie and being released for the first time from the hospital on Thursday. The concern was that the mother showed no bonding and no concern over him during his stay. Of course this may change after he is discharged and he seems more like a baby than a science experiment to her. What we do know is that he has a feeding tube, oxygen needs, and takes meds to prevent seizures. He's 5 months old and 10 pounds born at 23 weeks 1lb 3oz. Sounds like Miss S actually.

Discharge is Thursday as long as we feel comfortable taking him home and we have "trained" on his needs, and of course all of his supplies get delivered... course we have extra everything here. LOL Yeah training... gotta love it. But I understand where they are coming from... it can be very overwhelming for some people all the equipment... but for us... it's what we do.

I'm meeting him in the NICU tomorrow morning.


PS We call him SPUD- cuz seriously he looks like a baked potato.
