A Family of Three, Almost

Every time we go see Caleb it seems like we keep getting great news. This little guy is thriving! It is so fun to see how he connects with us. Today, he made mumma so proud!!! After I scrubbed in, I immediately went to his bedside. I was rubbing his back and his oxygen monitor started going crazy and he was kicking all over. I asked the nurse what was going on, and she said "Pick him up, he hears your voice and his excited to see you." WHAT?!?!?! H ow is that possible in just a few days? I spent some time loving on him today. Another proud mumma moment....he is up to 3lbs and 13.4 oz. Keep growing honey boy. Another proud mumma moment......the nurses suggested that he could come home in 10 days!!!

The problem: we don't have physical custody of him yet. The case workers and trying to switch the counties to ours from the birth mom's. Lots of legal stuff I don't understand, but please stand beside us in prayer. We are hoping that we can get physical custody this week!!!
Here is how you can pray:
-that the paperwork can be switched from birth mom's county to our county
-the birth mom does not change her mind, that all of the proper paperwork is found, signed and filed correctly
-favor from the judges and nursing staff
-stamina as we travel an hour and half to see our boy, as well as going through our regular every day life
-rest for us and Caleb
-Caleb's health
