Rough Nights

(Please don't think I'm a horrible mommy...Jeremiah was sleeping when this was taken and made the face with the flash)


So it almost seems that Jeremiah does not like to travel, even if he stays on his eating schedule. Just about every time we go somewhere for the day, we are in for a long night. Our worst one was him screaming from 6pm-1am and nothing calmed him down.

Last night was just about the same. He went to grandma's while Matt and I went to a movie. We all got home that evening..I really don't remember what time...around 9 I think. Matt and I decided to head to bed even though I knew he'd be up soon. Sure enough, just as I dozed off, he was up.

He got changed and fed and then the games began. He didn't fall asleep for the night until 1am. That was after crying, sleeping, crying, sleeping, eating 2 ounces, crying and sleeping.

On the bright side, he is one adorable little boy. He is lifting his head up so high, growing way too fast. He has started to coo and if I try hard enough, I can get some pretty awesome smiles out of him.

I wish we had a camera attached to our bodies that took instant photos. I want to record all of the cute faces  he makes.

Jeremiah is here!

So I really suck at updating this thing! As the post says, Jeremiah is here! But let me back track a bit! Our pregnancy was really a breeze! We always said that we knew God gave us the pregnancy because of how easy things went. I never had morning sickness, my blood and urine numbers were always great, I only gained 6 pounds, and never had any of the things that they test you for. Last time I updated, we didn't even know that Jeremiah was a boy. I had a gut feeling that he was a boy, but Matt was holding out for a girl. On June 26th, we got to have the gender scan. My favorite thing about pregnancy was getting to have ultrasounds! The tech took her time taking measurements and showing us all the parts...4 chamber heart, hands, feet, head, tummy, etc, etc. Then when I thought she was down by his legs, I said "so, is that a boy?" She asked if we really wanted to know and I immediately said "YES!" So she found the parts, turned the screen and asked what it was

Meeting--Matt's point of view lol

So, yeah the meeting was very informational but, honestly...kind of pointless at the same time. They gave us this big old packet of info and then pretty much just read every thing to us and did a power point presentation. So other than meeting two staff members it was pointless because we could have just read it ourselves at home, but whatever. Any ways the next step is doing the formal application which sounds like fun (haha not)! We have to fill out all kinds of forms, compile a bunch of records, get medical exams, get back ground checks, all kinds of crazy stuff, not to mention that there is a $550 fee we have to pay just for this step! The good news is they work with a bank out Michigan that gives loans to cover all the fees which will eventually end up being atleast $15,000 by the time we actually get a baby. The other good news is we'll get almost all of that back in tax credits once the adoption is finalized. So we're excited, but also suffering from major information ov

And God said "Wait"

So heres the newest update. It doesn't take much to figure out that we hit our first stand still...our first waiting period...the first " please hold" moment....our first..whatever you want to call it. As most of you know, we met with Heather for the first time on December 18th and things seemed good. We had set up to do our individual meetings on January 22nd and thought we'd be procedding to do our homestudy and start our family profile, etc. We had even begun buying some small things for the baby and brought home baby things that my mom had for us. Well things don't always go as planned. I got an email from Heather on January 6th, saying she had gotten a chance to look through our file and had some concerns but didn't say what. I started freaking out and so did Matt. I emailed her and asked her what to expect and she didn't get back to me right away. It wasn't until Matt called her that she emailed me back. She stated that her and her supervisor had
