She is home!

Joe'sSweetPeaJoe'sSweetPea
in Adoption

So, just to let everyone know, Catherine Agnes came home on Saturday night! She was born on 3/9 weighing 8 pounds.  She is perfect in every way, if I do say so myself! We have our first outing to the ped today and to my office to drop off files that came home with me on Thursday night! I will post pictures once I get both hands free!  As many of you have already experienced and soon others will soon learn, it is amazing how she  just fits with us.   By th way, her BM is amazing.  Natural birth (not by choice) and we shared several hours with her in hospital after Catherine was born.   BM and BF spent about an hour with her before we met and held her and we have since exchanged several texts and pictures since coming home. We are so blessed!  (sorry about the format. ... Using the iPhone!)

    Congratulations, I'm sure she is perfect! Enjoy every second of your time with, even at 3 AM. My LO is only 5 weeks and already so different. You have to really slow down and just take them in when they're so little!

    Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!  I am sooo happy for you.  Once you came off the waiting list for the facilitator, it happened fairly quickly!  That's wonderful, and enjoy your little girl, time really does fly!  Hopefully you get everything worked out with ICWA quickly and your 30-days fly by!
