Two and a half weeks ago, our lives changed. We were placed with our first long-term placement.The craziness hasn’t stopped yet. Between appointments, visits, meetings, etc…I feel like we haven’t stopped yet!



So, how’s it going?



It’s hard. It’s amazing. It’s beautiful.



So far, it has been nothing what I expected. The struggles are different. The frustrations are different. Even the things I love are different. I’m also learning that all that is okay.

Through the lack of sleep, tummy time, and blow out diapers, we are learning this thing called parenting and taking it one day at a time.



By no means am I a seasoned parent. (Hey, I have almost 3 weeks under my belt!) But, I love this path regardless of the struggles. She is absolutely worth it. I’m absolutely learning on the go.


Thanks to everyone who has answered baby questions for me in the last 2.5 weeks, prayed for us/her, and supported us on this journey. Your love is felt.
