Baby Girl's 14 day hearing was last Tuesday and the judge saw it necessary for her to remain in foster care. No relatives came forward, so she is staying with us. Dad agreed to the plan the court made for him so now we wait (mom was, um, unable to make the hearing)! There is a progress hearing in April and then another one in July. We will just take one day at a time and love every moment we have her! She is growing so fast and she is such a wonderful baby! Right now I'm watching Chase talk to her as he changes her diaper! I love it!
We thank God everyday for trusting us with this precious life. We know that we were chosen and although it will be a very rocky road, we know that God has his arms tightly around us and will never leave us to handle this emotional overload on our own! I'm amazed every day how beautiful and perfect she is. She has brown hair and blue eyes. Her eye lashes were light and have darkened in the last week or so. I'm still curious if her eyes will stay blue! She's breathtaking!
She has her 2 month check up on Thursday with her original pediatrician. I'm excited to get some information from her birth (weight, length, etc). We THINK she is about 9 lbs right now. She likes to look around and her focusing is really improving. She stares at me when I talk to her and I truly believe she understands everything I say, LOL! She smiles, we think. It's hit or miss, but I'm pretty confident they are not gas grins anymore! The other night she laughed for the first time while she was sleeping. I was so excited and I can't wait to hear it again. She is starting to coo alot and lifts her head when we are burping her so that she can look around. She's truly amazing!

I went back to work last week after taking off 2 weeks with Baby Girl. I could TOTALLY be a stay at home mom! Chase is such a meanie for making me work! LOL!!! She stayed with a friend of mine last week and Chase is off this week - then she will go to daycare! I really love where she is going. I know several people who use this daycare and it comes highly recommended! I'm confident that they will take very good care of her.
This past weekend we celebrated Grayson's 1st birthday! I cannot believe he is already a year old! Time is flying! He's so stinkin' cute and such a character. Baby Girl was so excited to celebrate her big cousin's birthday...and to wear her first pair of blue jeans!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRAY GRAY!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRAY GRAY!
My heart is happy & hurts at the same time. I am praying for that sweet angel...breaks my heart for her and believing that God will not allow her to be anywhere but with the perfect people to care for her & raise her in His will. You two are amazing and inspirational!!!!
