Cole comes home on Friday. This week is just dragging. I can't fall asleep at night because my wheels are spinning so fast and non-stop. Thankfully Jake is waking up at 3am and 4am this week which is resetting my automatic clock in hopes it will train my body to rely on lack of rest.
Jake seems very excited to meet his little brother. When we ask him what his little brother's name is, he says "Homey." He has been using the bassinet as a bed for his teddy. He swaddles his teddy and gently places him in the bassinet then tiptoes away saying, "shhh...baby is sleeping." The imagination is incredible.
So we are meeting at the agency at 10am Friday morning to meet the birth-mom. Then they bring the baby in at 11am. The foster mom that has been caring for him the past three weeks said he is a "perfect little guy." His birthday is August 3 and he was 6lb. 13oz when he was born. He takes a binky (yay!!!) This is all I know.
I think we can get through the next two days. I bought some formula today and a gift for the birthmother. I am really excited to meet her - all I've heard is wonderful things about her. It's becoming all too real now. Especially since my co-workers suprised me with a little party yesterday. That made it very real. I'm sure the cries in the middle of the night will make it pretty real too. Can't wait!!
