Finally a mama and re-intro

Hi ladies, I have previously posted here and some of you might remember me but I'm finally a foster mama of a 7 mos old boy and a 20 month old girl. I also run a daycare out of our home. There are just some things that you can't learn about children that are not in your care 24-7. I have studied things and learned things over the years but there are just some things that you want to relate to other mom's about. :-) I felt funny being here before with not really having children of our own so I took a bit of a break. Now I have all kinds of questions. :-) I cannot share the children's names but we call them Princess and Meatball so from here forward this is what they will be called. They both have J names so it gets too confusing as I've found to call them that.

  • Welcome back!

    I can so identify with you saying there are some things you can't learn about children until they're with you 24-7.  I had five nieces and nephews before I had kids of my own, and I didn't think there was much I didn't know.  HA!  What a joke that was!

    I hope life is settling down for you with the little ones, sounds like a handful with two under two!  Many here can relate so we look forward to having you back.

  • I recognize your puppies! congrats on fostering! So exciting!
  • SistrKate...that's the truth....I had 6 nieces and had babysat for 15 years! lol

    Thanks ladies!

    2 under 2 overnight is definitely a little rough. We've had them 10 days tomorrow so we are definitely still adjusting. Holy cow, it doesn't seem like we've had them 10 days, sorry I'm letting my own statement sink in! lol

    Meatball will be 7 mos tomorrow and weighs 23lbs so that's an adjustment in it's own!! My back is killing me! lol

  • Oh Congratulations!! Two little ones, that is fabulous

    My little guy is Little Bear so I know what you mean about the names.

    I am a working mom so I face my own difficulties there, but I am learning things just come from experience and it changes from week to week for us.

  • Wonderful! And welcome back. Of course we remember you. Is this a sibling set? Are you foster-to-adopt? I am thrilled you have some little ones in your home. How long have they been there? Going from no children to parenting two under two is an incredible change and I would imagine it's a shocking experience. I hope the transition has gone well for everyone. Please stick around and let us know how it's going! Best of luck!

  • Congratulations!  I cannot imagine going from 0 to 2 so quickly!  We (DH and I) really want to foster (and maybe adopt) someday too, so we are going to have to meet in person someday so I can ask you a million bajillion questions about the process! :)
  • Welcome back! I hope everything is going well for you all and your Princess and Meatball (cute)!
  • Wow!! I have been wondering about you especially since I hadn't seen you on here. Welcome back and congrats!
  • They are actually siblings (full). We highly doubt that these are our "forever children" as they have a ton of family members that could get their acts together. They are in our "temporary home". :-) We've had them for 10 days tomorrow.
