Baby K update and departure :-(

Friday - December 27th

Just letting everyone know that the bio-mom visit went splendidly :-) Glad Josh was able to take off and spend the day with baby and me (and do the navigating/driving thru Austin). Dropping off K was very quick and not too awkward... Basically resembled a relay baton hand-off. :-) Josh took me out to eat Chinese food while we waited for the visit to end. Picking K up gave us more interaction with mom and CPS Caseworker. Went very well and we are praying harder than ever for K's mom and future.

K was a whopping 9lbs 9oz at birth and he's still got a hardy appetite. He's eating 3oz steady at each feeding and has recently downed 4oz! Foster mom said "What a piggie!" when she heard. (He must be the little piggie that had roast beef). So the chubby cheeks get chubbier and the dirty diapers get, well, you know. ;-) Speaking of diapers, Josh has been changing some!!! I'm telling you, he's incredible.

Jan 6, 2014 -

Our precious K went home last week on Thursday night. God was very good to us and it was a smooth transition back to an empty home (fuller heart). K went back to his foster family and will be there for only a short time before being reunited with his bio-mom. For this we are very thankful and excited. Still ever prayerful that his future and his mom's will be bright. Also found out from foster mom yesterday that baby K weighed in at 10lbs 11oz at his checkup! What a healthy baby! :-)
We are now, again, in "the waiting game"... Ready at any moment for another call which could place up to 3 children with us :-)
I will be posting photos soon
