Whirlwind April

Well, this morning - John looked at me and said "It's the 11th day of April, and we've spent 7 of those days in a hospital." Since we spent 4 (almost 5) of those in the hospital with his gallbladder issues... you might ask where the other three came from? Well...

I am thrilled to announce that today we signed adoption papers for this little guy...


This is James!! 
Born: 4/9/10
10:50 AM
7 pounds 5.2 ounces
19 1/2 inches


We brought him home today, and are settling in - we are all exhausted... but soon he'll be used to his new home and we'll be fine. 

Here is one more photo for the road... 


We are so blessed, and thank you all for your prayers - keep them coming as we get started with parenthood, and while the adoption is being finalized over the next 6 months. We are completely in love with this guy - and look forward to watching him grow.

  2. Well, I am just thrilled to bits! Congratulations! I hope you have some maternity leave from work! Just think, with John's temporary health problems with the stones, how hard would it have been to balance an infant in all that? God's timing was perfect and you got the perfect little baby of His chosing, with you and John specifically in mind! God is good! All the time! Congrats and enjoy and cherish every single minute of it!

  10. I am just thrilled for the three of you. James is a perfect little bundle! I just want to share a little advice. The first 6 weeks are the toughest with the newborn:exhausting nights, constant worrying, etc. But, enjoy them! Before you know it, that newborn will be an infant then a teetering toddler. It goes by so fast! Enjoy your beautiful new boy!

  12. Hearts, hugs, love and kisses a trillion times over!

    It may sound strange, but you LOOK like his mom in the last picture. I mean to say that you look like you carried him for 9 months and gave birth to him. The mommy-vibe coming from you is just that strong!

    What a truly wonderful miracle...it's been a long time in the making, but as is true with most things that take a while, it's WELL worth the wait!

    He's absolutely precious and I cannot wait to watch as he grows in a home of faith, hope and LOVE.

    <3, AJ (any guesses?)
