Baby C has been with us for 2 weeks now. Yep that's right 2 weeks! Let's rewind a little...
So as you know, we received the call that we were approved on April 9th. Well on April 12th I received a voicemail while I was at my afternoon car duty at school. It was from our new foster parent case manager. She was introducing herself and letting us know they had a potential placement. As she said, "Yes, it really does happen that fast."
I mean wow! 3 days?!?! Granted, we were comping at the bit waiting for a call, because we know there's such a high need. But honestly, we didn't think the call would come that fast. And we thought for sure we would have to have the transition meeting before we received a call, but nope!
I instantly text Manda to get her to reach out for more info since I was still at work for my after school tutoring. She called me and said they had an 8 month old little boy, and we knew instantly that he would be the perfect fit for our first placement.
Once he was dropped off that evening, we headed to Wal-Mart to grab some necessities that we didn't have at home yet. Then we when home, snuggled, and got ready for Friday. Friday meant he had to start daycare. We definitely had some adjusting to do with our schedule, but we're figuring it out.
Like I said we received the call on April 12th. He's been with us for 2 weeks now. We're still somewhat adjusting to life with an infant, but it's definitely starting to feel more routine. We're all so in love with this sweet baby boy.
Lil Man has stepped up and is already a great big brother. The boys are both smitten with each other. Baby C adores Lil Man so much. Baby C really has just fit his way into our lives perfectly. We already fear the day that he may have to leave us. We keep reminding ourselves that's what we signed up for, but it doesn't make it any less scary. But one thing is for sure, as long as he's with us we will love him and spoil him rotten!
