Well, after much confusion, Little Guy did finally come to live with us on Tuesday evening. His mother had signed papers to give custody to the state on Sunday. On Monday, our agency had gone to the hospital, waited for 4 hours for discharge paperwork, gone to pull the car around to load Little Guy up for the ride. Then, all of the sudden his mom returned and had potentially changed her mind. Not really knowing the law amidst all of the confusion, the nurses at the hospital would not discharge our Little Guy, so he stayed one more night in the hospital. Then, we got the call to pick him up Tuesday evening in order to stay with us at least until court today (Thursday).
He was born at 6 lbs. 10.2 ounces, so he's a tiny little thing. We've never had a baby quite this small, so we're on the learning curve for sure. I think my husband is in heaven. We've discovered he just adores babies. Sleepless nights and all, he's pretty fun to have around, but now we're still waiting for news from court this morning. He may go home with mom today or he may come back to us. If he comes back here, we're going to have to get down to business...pulling out my baby books again and getting this little one to sleep at night!
I'll keep you posted!
