Yes, We're Home
Sorry that this has taken so long to post, but we have been home with William now since January 5th. The trip home was horrid on our little guy's ears, but he was a trooper. We came home to 8 inches of snow and an hour long trip to William's home. The first few nights were challenging as he adjusted to his new surroundings and mommy and daddy. Now, he wakes up around 2:00 a.m. for a bottle and is back to sleep until around 5:30 a.m. when he wakes with a few noises and gets the warms touches of his parents. With that, he falls asleep again.
We love him soo much and he is a sweet, beautiful baby. The first purchase for our 7 month old was the ExerSaucer..an item I highly recommend to develop those leg muscles! For all of you waiting...keep praying and keep the faith..the best part of your journey will be the finality and a Forever Family. Thank you to all of those who encouraged me and listened. Your understanding and kindness means more than words can ever describe. Home: 1/5/05
