Today is uneventful and boring. We are propped up in the hospital room with Natalie right next to us snoozing away! She is so content, and we love to listen to all the little "puppy" sounds coming from her. From the tiny sneezes to the whimpers and big sighs.......so precious! She passed her hearing test and they will do her jaundice test around 8p.m. tonight. Natalie loves to eat and is eating about an ounce and a half every 3 hours right now. We are about to bump it up to 2 oz.
Our case workers came by again today to visit with us and with M. So far things are still looking good. M is staying strong and always calls us mommy and daddy. We are still trying to be really careful about saying too much, but she makes it hard. She has had several friends come to visit her and Natalie which is good for her to have that support.
Right now our Entrustment Ceremony is set for 11 a.m. on Saturday morning so please be praying for M's strength when she has to watch us walk away with the precious baby she delivered. It will be an emotional time for both sides. We should be making our grand entrance to our house with family awaiting around 4 Saturday afternoon. We have a photographer scheduled to come and capture that moment!
Soooo exciting and what a HUGE blessing!!! We are so happy for you guys! Enjoy this great beautiful day!
ReplyDeleteI can't say it enough...but I'm so happy for you guys!!!! I can't wait to see her! We are all still praying for you while you sit and wait, but along with the prayers are happy thoughts and happy tears! Your class is so excited, when I told them yesterday that she was born one comment was "Is she here at the school?" Then this morning when I told them I talked to you and Natalie is healthy, they wanted to see pictures! So I will need some of those for Tuesday! :) They have been great, and frankly; I don't want to give them back to you!
ReplyDeleteYAY! This is so exciting. Mary and I were just talking about you, wondering if Natalie had made her appearance yet. Staying in a hospital with a newborn is not easy. Soon you'll be home and getting settled, well, as settled as you can get with a newborn. So fun though. Glad you are soaking up every bit of it!
ReplyDeleteHeather- I'm so glad the kiddos are being good to you. They may not want me back! You get them soon enough though=) I will definitely have pictures for you to show on Tuesday.
ReplyDeleteI love the grunting, puppy noises! I am praying for you all!!!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see her!! Praying the rest of the hospital stay goes smoothly. Love y'all (all three of you!)!
ReplyDeletePraying for you and thinking about you constantly! love---the gump!
ReplyDeleteThe prayers have been felt in an amazing way so thank you, and keep it up. Especially around 11 tomorrow for our birth mom's emotions as she watches us walk away with her. I know that will be so hard.
ReplyDeleteSorry there are no pictures yet, but check back tomorrow night!
