There's not a tiny ounce of me that has any desire to personally conceive & have a baby. But. . . there is a bit of me that would like to whip out the parental resume tomorrow to compare with the birth parents and adoptive parents at the family planning meeting for the baby. Hands down we'd win, I mean, we are awesome parents :). Even more evident when I see Todd carrying this baby into church. Decided to drag him out into germ world but Todd brought him in late & left early with him. I know that anyone watching us would never have thought this baby wasn't ours. As we gaze on him with such adoration, look towards him with each sweet sound he makes, or any different facial expression he has. We love him. It doesn't take long to fall in love with each of these children that enters our life. J has certainly won over Buddy. We went out for lunch & the kids & I went over to Barnes & Noble while Todd paid. J wouldn't leave with us but wanted to stay with his Buddy. He is such an affectionate child. He is also the child that has probably suffered more than any child we have had in our home. Kids are so resilient. I just don't understand why they need to be.
Anxious about tomorrow and the supposedly 3 hours with the different key players in J's life. Never done this before so not sure what to expect. I'll let you know.
Off to bed, up again in 3 hours, then again in 3 and then 3 again. He is a very scheduled baby. The advantage of having been in the hospital for 2 weeks.
