I wanted to do this for my kids, keep track of things going on..I'm slacking! But I can say they are clean, fed, bathed and loved on every.single.day. These babies are my life!
August 10th I got a call from DCS saying that Ella's birthmom had signed over her rights. I was happy but still feeling reserved. It's not forever to me until my fanny is sitting in the court room on the hard cold chair in front of the judge, y'know?
Fast forward a couple of days, CASA worker shows up for her visit and TOTALLY bursts my bubble. She told me Ella's bm had 30 days to change her mind. I tried not to think about it, but I worry..that's who I am. Monday, Ella had a court hearing. Birthmom showed up (we totally thought she wouldn't) and judge asked he some questions,like id Ella had not been so medically fragile would she have done this...birthmom said no. Cue casa worker showing up at my house and saying that she thought Ella was painted out to be medically fragile when she is not, and bascially that if bm had known that she would have kept her. Cue more worrying on my part. Basically she is ours, but I have to wait the 30 days. We signed papaerwork yesterday and get fingerprints soon. We just sit and wait. Waiting is hard.
Ella is doing very well, she crawls and sits and is trying to pull herself up. She weighs 14 pounds 11 oz but still is not taking solids well, it seems to be a texture thing.
Isaiah is doing very well, we are doing preschool on monday, wed., and fri. he loves it. I am teaching him at home and today we did the letter "B" and fingerpainted bumble bee's. He is now 36.5 pounds and is growing so big and tall. I love him so much.
