4 Months
Dear Noah,
Yesterday, you turned 4 months old.
I remember when your Mommy and I knew each other for 4 months, and this is a lot like that. Around that time, Mommy and I felt like we’d always known each other, and we couldn’t imagine life without the other one. That’s why Mommy asked me […]

B-Boy?
Apparently he really is going to be a B-Boy. (For my King readers, this is a B-U, Basketball Update.)
The official results are in, from the 4 month checkup today.The boy is tall. 27 3/4 inches. Off the charts. The size of an average 7-8 month old. He’s lighter than we thought, only 16 lbs, 2 […]

Overwhelm

We Survived. It Wasn’t That Bad.
Sorry for the long delay in posting an update.
The home visit went just fine. Noah was utterly charming for most of it. The woman who conducted it spent most of the time asking Jill about her life story, in surprising detail for the early years. She didn’t ask any of the scary questions we […]

Argh. Ack. Eeeee!
I don’t know if today is going to be more stressful than the adoption hearing itself, or just close.
Today is the home visit, where a total stranger comes into our house, and judges our fitness to raise Noah together. Then she types up a report that gets submitted to the judge.
