Finalization Day

Today at 1:30 pm CT, a judge in a courtroom way down in Louisiana decreed that Isaac is forever and ever a part of our family. I loved him with all my heart before I even met him, and he was my baby boy from the moment I laid eyes on him, but now we’re…

Best. birthday. EVER.

I was in heaven the moment I laid eyes on him yesterday. We only had 4 hours together, but it was the best four hours I could have imagined.  He just ate and slept in my arms (and we changed a couple diapers), and he was just the happiest baby ever.  As long as he’s…

Introducing…

Our beautiful son – Isaac William Xavier Scott I get to meet him in just 3 hours, and I am so excited I can barely stand it! More pictures to come!!!

amended birthdate

Did I mention baby boy was born Saturday morning instead of Friday?  We found out yesterday!  BIrthmother got to the hospital around 10 or 11 Friday night, and he was born Saturday morning around 3:30 am! We still don’t have his length – only weight – but we know he was perfectly healthy and is…

He’s being released tomorrow!

Our baby boy is being released from the hospital tomorrow!  He’ll be in Baton Rouge by evening, and I’ll hopefully get a quick hug and kiss when they get back (it’ll probably be late), but unfortunately that’s it until Thursday. Did I mention Thursday was my birthday? Yep, I get to spend my birthday with…

It’s a boy!!!

Born Friday, he’s a healthy one at 9 lbs 1 oz :). Don’t know whether we’ll get to see him tomorrow or Wednesday, but it looks like we’ll get to bring him home (to Mom’s) on Monday.  It was supposed to be Thursday, but the birthmother’s attorney is on vacation this week, aarrggh!!! Chris is…

No baby yet

We didn’t get any word on Thursday about the birthmother’s doctor appointment.  I spoke to the attorney’s office, and they didn’t hear from her either, so we thought they might have admitted her like they threatened to last week.  I didn’t hear anything yesterday, though, and so I’m left just wondering if anything is happening.…

Quilting

We’ve been passing the time waiting (nope, baby isn’t here yet) by working on our sewing projects, one of which is a toddler bed-sized quilt. We used the leftover popcorn chenille from the crib bumpers (haven’t finished those yet – still need to do the bias trim, so I don’t have pictures), green linen, yellow…

About to get on a plane!

My flight leaves in four hours!  I’m so excited I can barely stand myself!  On my way home at last… Yesterday was quite a stressful day in our house.  My car ended up back in the shop, for one, after costly repairs just two weeks ago.  And the fact that the budget has still not…

Getting nervous

One more full day until I get on a plane, and the nerves are definitely kicking in. I’ve sewn 8 flannel receiving blankets (8th one not pictured) – My bag is packed…mostly. I have to take the car for an emissions test in the morning, and then I’m just finishing up laundry and double-checking my…
