Week Three Begins - Adjusting to our New Normal

Our little booger is precious, no doubt about it.  Its starting to get hard to imagine life before him and we've only had him a little over two weeks.  The nursery is almost ready, thanks to the generosity of so many (still need to do thank you notes... they're coming I promise) and the hard work of my sweetie.  We're starting to get into a grove.  We're figuring out his different cries and noises.  He's grown so much already, its incredible.

I think the hardest part about this is the speed at which things can change, and without warning.  Its the nature of how we're going about adopting.  Many have told me they couldn't do what we're doing.  Their hearts couldn't take it.  Not gonna lie...  It would break my heart to let this little guy go now.  And six months from now, I can only imagine it would be ten times harder.  But this is bigger than me or Jeremy.

In some of the classes we took through our agency in order to get licensed we learned some really interesting things about brain chemistry and how things during these first few months and years can have a significant impact on a great number of things.  Its really incredible.  So if nothing else, I can rest easy knowing that we're having a life long impact on this little guy.  Even if we only have him for a little while, what we're doing for him now is important.  Its not about us.  Its about him.  And God has called us to do as much as we can for him in the time that we have him, whether that be 6 months or 18 years (still hoping and praying for the 18 years).
