New placement!

We got a call on Friday for a four-month-old baby boy.  We had an hour and a half to get ready for him & I was still at work.  Luckily, we have tons of boy clothes, although most are at my sister B's house because she has a six-month-old boy and between her and my other sister, E - who has an almost one-year- old girl - we were able to get enough of everything we needed for the time being.

This poor little guy came with nothing but one shirt, one bottle and some formula. He's super cute, very smiley and is very easy to make laugh.  ML, JC and BJ love him.  They all want to hold him.  He loves to be held and will only sleep an hour at a time if he's in a bed or swing, so that's hard.  We did not get much sleep his first two nights, but last night wasn't bad.  Well, according to Andrea anyway, she is down the shore with the rest of my family while I am stuck at work.


Tomorrow is court, so hopefully, we will learn more about what's going on.  Or, not.  You know foster care!

 

Oh, and I almost forgot - the baby's intake worker was the caseworker on our very first placement and we LOVE her.  Well, she was there for the drop off of Baby N and she saw our dog, Ches.  He's a stray Andrea found a year ago and my parents ended up taking him in.  They couldn't keep him so he's been staying with us since June & we've been trying to find a new home for him, if possible.  Well, C - the intake worker fell in love with him and took him down the shore with her for a trial week and she wants to keep him.  He's a nice dog, but very hyper (he's 2, but acts like a brand new puppy) and we just don't have time these days to work with him.  We are so happy he's going to a close-by home with someone we like and we know we will get updates about him!
