Night Three with baby K and we are all doing great. Its been a busy few days with various appointments for her and getting her all set up at our Pediatrician, WIC, etc. Shes only getting up twice a night, so that's been pretty easy to adjust to.
Baby K got a complete physical and is seemingly 100% healthy, is 7 lb 14oz and 20 inches long! She got put on meds for reflux but otherwise is doing fantastic!
She smiled for the first time(S) yesterday, that was a fun time! We also all went to the pool with friends last night and she seemed to enjoy the bathtub warm water this HOT weather provided! If she is in this family she must love the pool so we started early, just like we did with Makenna ;).
We went and spent the voucher she came with at Target, and were very thankful to know some of the sweet ladies at Target that helped us pick out some awesome deals on a great convertible car seat, ADORABLE clothes in this and next size(S), socks, a bathing suit, pacifiers, LOTS of diapers, wipes, soap and lotion, butt cream, gas drops, saline nose drops...it was a blast, a little overwhelming since you HAVE to spend it all at one time and cannot pay more if you go over, so you have to be exact or close to take full advantage of it. Weather baby K stays with us for some time or goes back home she will be set for a while now!
We are so grateful to friends who have lent us or given us baby equipment and supplies too like bottles, blankets, burp cloths, nipples, you name it we couldn't do it without it!
We are having a blast but are also trying hard to keep a great attitude about the reality she may end up going home sooner or later....which is not easy, we are human. But we are doing ok so far and are having fun loving on her for now!
Danielle has to go to court tomorrow and will be meeting the birth mom and possibly father, please pray for her as she isn't really sure what to expect and hasn't really ever been in court before. Court is scheduled for 9AM, who knows how long they will be there though and if they will actually go in at 9 or not. Juggling a newborn, stroller, etc coupled with not knowing where you are going. where to park, who the people are are you are meeting with, etc. all specific prayer requests if you have time!
Our agencies SW came today for our first in home visit with baby K here and she said baby K seems very happy and we are doing a great job, she was impressed with our set up and we did some paperwork and she explained more about the case/situation and about court tomorrow (what she knew).
If you haven't seen a picture of Baby K and want to just text us we will happily oblige, but please don't share on any online social media sites. Thanks for understanding.
We will let you know how court goes, but for now Baby K is still here and thriving.
Makenna is having a great first week of Kindergarten and is filling the role of big sister amazingly well, she understands it could be brief but is having fun and love to hold her, help feed her, bathe her, show her off..play with her...you name it. Its a great experience and we feel so blessed to be able to have this little sweetie and give M this experience ;).
Thanks for your prayers and support!
