Life

What a crazy weekend! We've been in between foster placements for the past month or so. We've had a few that have stayed a week, or a few days or so, but no permanent placements.
Saturday night, around 1030pm, we got a call from CPS (child protective services) about two girls, 3 yrs and 6 months who needed a place to stay, at least until Monday. So I said yes.
It's crazy taking such young kids in the middle of the night. I didn't get to bed until like 130am! Poor things were so upset and tired. Of course the baby woke up at like 530am, so that was fun. Yesterday was a rough day.
All that aside, they are such adorable little girls. Especially the baby, considering her circumstances, she is such a happy little thing. Such a joy. I will be sad when they leave--I could definitely keep these kiddos. The baby slept from 730pm last night, until 8am this morning! Then she fell back to sleep at like 915! Chris and I think she probably didn't get much good sleep, coming from what was probably a stressful living situation, so maybe she's catching up? Or maybe 6 month olds just sleep that much. I'm not sure. Either way, very cute and that was my crazy weekend. We still have them though, not sure for how long. Just waiting to hear from CPS. I know they had a family member in mind, so we will see.

I was happy to have a distraction the last few days, and today even, because I was getting so anxious about the doctor appointment tomorrow!! I can't believe we find out the sexes already! I really can't wait to pick the names. I've got a few in mind but I don't want to get really excited about any names yet because it might be that I can't even use that name.

I have to say that I am wicked excited about the baby shower in Florida. I'm excited to celebrate this pregnancy with my family, and I am excited to see some of my friends I haven't seen in forever. Some of them I went to youth group with in HS, and I haven't really seen them since. We've just kept up with each other over the years. I'm excited for the gifts, but not just because I like getting gifts (which I do haha) but it has more to do with being able to actually celebrate my pregnancy with the people who have been there for me my entire life. It's like, that makes it real. I'm just excited to go home, and experience family happiness. You know what I mean.

Well that is all. I am sure I will have a crazy excited post tomorrow!! Woot woot!
