It's a boy! Welcome Little One!

We welcome a 3-day-old baby boy into our family this evening! It was quite unexpected and unplanned. We have been intentionally taking a break since the boys went home, because my husband is rehabilitating a herniated disc in his back. When we got this call, however, we both felt compelled to say, "yes." The basic gist is that this Caucasian baby boy is actually being placed for adoption and will, most likely, be adopted by a family in our agency in 2-6 weeks. They have not yet been through training, so the agency needs someone to take the baby until his permanent home is approved. Thinking of this precious family who has been praying for a baby to have as their own and all of the emotions caught up in their journey and also knowing how rare this is for a Caucasian infant to be placed for adoption voluntarily, we caved! Also, as my husband said, "We're talking 8 pounds! Surely that can't hurt my back!" So last night we said goodbye to a full night's sleep, but we can't wait to meet this little guy and learn what it's like to care for a baby this young. I'll keep you posted. I should have a lot more free time to do so this go-around! One baby? Just sleeping, eating, and diapers? Piece of cake! ...we think.
