Post Placement and other news

Our three month post placement report was yesterday. It was really fun to count the wonderful ways of our sweet Myra to a complete stranger. Brian and I are so amazed at her progress and growth. We are thankful, so thankful, for her. It was fun to report that she is almost 20 lbs and growing more each day. I loved listening to Brian describe her fun loving personality and her never ending supply of energy when there is a party. I loved praising both Noah and Myra for their kindness to each other and their growing love for each other.

Even cooler both kids took a surprise 90 minute morning nap during the entire interview! Noah and Myra woke up for the last five minutes of his visit with clean, smiling faces. Brian and I looked like super parents.

During this interview we kicked off our home study. I was an emotional disaster Sunday morning prior to our SW arrival (don't worry nothing a fresh coat of lipstick could not hide). I could not understand why I would be so sad/mad/etc etc when both Brian and I are unified in growing our family in this way and at this time. Ah ha... another point hidden point of grief. What can I say, mentally I understand and totally agree with invasive nature of a home study. Emotionally, I just want the "normal" of an easy pregnancy announcement. I'm glad to uncover this and work through it. I feel like each time a find a point of grief and work through it, I get a little closer to my justice. Brian and I decided no count down. We are just going to take it very slow, pray more and submit to the plan that God has for our family. So far, I like it this way SO much better!
