Well, Gabriel had a good night again last night. He went 4.5 hours between 1 feeding in the middle of the night. I am getting good rest, which is really nice (and unusual)! He had his checkup at the pediatrician's office today. I arrived prepared with the excel spreadsheet that my husband set up which lists every feeding, poop, and pee pee since he's been in our care. The pediatrician was quite impressed (so she said)! He is a perfectly healthy little boy and is doing great.
Our paperwork will arrive in Georgia's office tomorrow morning. The agency said today that they are anticipating us to be able to travel home by the end of the week. YIPPEE!! Keep the prayers coming. They are working!!
The Pope's continue to take really good care of us, and, of course, are spoiling Gabriel greatly.
Many of you have asked about the picture of the girl with Gabriel on the last post. The girl in the picture is Lindsey Pope. She is my nephew's fiancee. It is her parent's home that we are staying at. Did I mention that they are getting married in 3 weeks here in Atlanta?? What a fun time! I am enjoying seeing them wrap up last minute wedding details.

This picture was taken a few days ago. We were washing his hair. He loved it!
Of course, thank you for all of your prayers. God continues to take care of us in so many ways. He is so good. I keep pinching myself. We are so blessed!
Please continue to pray for us. Please pray specifically for our return home quickly. Also, please pray for the surrender process to continue to go smoothly. The birthparents have until next Monday night to revoke their surrenders. Our case worker continues to reassure me, though, that they are very comfortable and at peace with their decision and have not waivered with their choice. She does not anticipate any complications or suprises, but, again, I will feel much better when this period expires.
God bless you all!

Courtney: I am so grateful that everything is going so well for you. You contiue to be in my thoughts and prayers. I love the name (of course) and look forward to meeting little Gabriel. I don't know if you plan on going the direction of nickname. I knew a guy named Gabe in school and always thought it was a cool, tough name.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it amazing how God's plan is so perfect and that he gives us what we need right when we need it?
Lots of love,
Your little sis Margaret
