Emma loves Felix
Daddy laying his eyes on his baby boy. How TENDER!
Nice and clean now with his mommy. Isn't she beautiful? PS- I talked to her... literally like 20 minutes before she had him. She's really awesome... and tough as nails.
Today has been a very emotional day for me. We recieved pictures from Felix III and saw Felix IV for the first time. It was a very nice ending to the day. I promise you I was in the office for 6 hours in the morning working on adoption "stuff". Then the internet stopped working. I drove 30minutes to the coffee shop where my computer kept freezing and doing all sorts of non sense..... but I got my files sent to the right people. We'll see what happens next!
I am not only missing being with baby Felix and celebrating with his family, but I will confess that I had a tid bit of a sob fest on my bed... (maybe even twice).
I am just really MISSING our children! How is that? I miss the children that we don't even have yet. I long for them. So tomorrow- I'm determined I will be better and less emotional and completely together... (ha!)
I got to talk to Mom and Dad today and that was really great. I asked Mom if the blankets she is making are gender specific (the plan was to adopt 1 boy, 1 girl) . She assured me they are not. See, there are SO many boys at NLH. Apparently, for several reasons, people adopt more girls than boys. I think out of about 25 toddlers- there are 2 girls. I guess I have had that on my mind lately and I began sewing yesterday. (Ruthan just arrived and brought my sewing machine... talk about excited.) So I made these 2 blankets b/c I didn't know what else to make... and I just HAD to sew. I will take a picture when the buttons are on and I'm completely done. Whilst making them I said to myself: "I think the boys will really love these." Then I said "self, did you just say 'boys'?" Um- might just be a prompting by the Holy Spirit. But I tell you what: I don't care WHAT they are. I just WANT THEM HERE!! I told CT- I am totally cool with having 2 boys. He is too.
We just want to be obedient and willing to take whatever children He wants us to parent.
Well I know God will give you just exactly who He knows is best, but I personally think you guys would be great with a little MayMay around!
ReplyDeleteFeliz IV is so precious. Praying for your babies, where ever and whoever they are.
ReplyDeleteLove you.
Oh boo boo ... it makes me sad when you cry. When the waiting is so, so, so hard, look at it as a way to continue preparing to become an absolutely amazing Mom ... I pray that the Lord fills you so full of Him, and teaches you so much during this waiting period. We are praying hard core for those babies, and for two of our favorite soon-to-be parents.
ReplyDeletePS - I think instead of lullabies, you should sing Meerkat in tha Mornin' to those little cutie pies! Em :)
