Happy Baby

Laughter and baby babble are a new thing for us too. It is so fun watching his new personality emerging. (to be ugly for a second. It is amazing what breathing clean air, free from the manufacturing of drugs can do for your development. Oh, I so bad want to do a post on my feelings on that, but am trying to refrain to keep from saying too much)

Please pray for my 2 new babies. They have a nearing Oct 21st, her b-day, to determine if they may possibly go live with family. I have a lot of mixed feelings about this, and am now not sure what I want the outcome to be. I honestly feel that their best interest is for them to stay here, but I don't make that decision. And, I am torn between being very overwhelmed taking care of 6 kids...2 of that being babies that are very time consuming, and also a husband that is very overwhelmed, that is home all day long to get the full experience of it. But, I see how far they have come, and am so worried how that will continue if they are with grandparents. Where were they before, you know??? Their family was living with one of them for awhile I think. And, of course, it is so hard to put everyone straight coming from a 3yr old and a case worker, but I think that the one they used to live with is the one that was suggested for them to live with. And if it isn't him, it would be the mom's family, whom she is staying with currently. Oh, this can be so hard. I really just have to not think about anything except their current daily care.

Also, pray for me next week. Monday I have family visits for all 3 fosters, Tuesday, I have to take Z for his cimcumcision, Wednesday, another family visit for him, and also that day, my big doc visit for Amber and Hunter. I bet that one will take all day. And, I added more to my mileage sheet today...I am up to 634 miles I have driven them since I got Z, and am still having trouble with this mileage sheet. Clay is saying...they can start coming to pick those kids up if they don't pay...but I really want to be the one to take them, and the case workers are so appreciative that I am willing to do that.....but gas ain't cheap! I will keep harrassing them until I get my money, don't worry Robin!
