Going from being a married couple with a childless home to caring for foster babies overnight has been quite a transition (and so is the reverse, honestly). Bringing a 4lb preemie home from the NICU has certainly been the biggest challenge so far!
Itβs also been so incredible to just witness this baby girlβs strength. Sheβs gaining weight like a champ and shows so much (sassy) personality already. She is small but mighty. π
My sister just happened to be here for a couple of weeks in between her nursing assignments. I canβt even imagine adjusting to our new routine (full of dr appts, bio family visits, case worker visits) without her here. She was basically our in-home maid π β doing dishes, cleaning bottles, bringing me my yogurt breakfast every morning, making meals, feeding our animals, doing laundry, and taking care of everything I couldnβt get to. Without us asking for any of it! And of course, cuddling baby girl. π
Foster care would just be impossible without the support. Weβre so thankful for ours!
