Today started off w/an appointment at a place that provides free baby food to foster babies. While I was waiting to be seen, I received a phone call that there is a family that has expressed interest in Baby!!! Wahoo!!! The plan is for the Baby and I to go to the main county building next Thursday and we will meet the potential new mommy and the potential new daddy will be teleconferenced in. I am beyond ecstatic for Baby - esp. because so many people said no one would want this miracle baby.
I went to my Grandma's - we ate, went through her mail, I brought over a bunch of library books for her and we played a game of scrabble.
After I arrived home, I told everyone the news. Shelby wants to know why we can't adopt Baby. I told her I don't believe he was ever meant to be "ours" but we prayed outloud anyways for God to reveal his will for this precious baby.
Baby's name is a book in the Bible so Shelby told me she wanted to read that particular book to see if it said anything about (our last name) adopting a baby named (Baby's name/the book in the Bible) - so sweet!!
In November, APS got involved with my Grandma due to one particular individual. That individual texted me today and brought up more emotions (emotions were already flowing due to the possibility of Baby who we've loved with a passion for the past 18 weeks leaving soon...and the radio played a song from my mom's Celebration of Life today....and my dad's girlfriend will be coming this week w/some of my dad's ashes...). Despite everything that happened, I was very friendly in the course of our texting and even during a particular request of hers, I took the high road despite thinking "bad" thoughts.
The rest of the day flowed along well ... kids did their reading, Steve was home all day again (love him taking time off work!!!), he did some yard work, kids did well together, Baby did well...During my bible study time, it talked about suffering trials....yup, I'm going through a few...
