Picture...

Here is our adorable little guy! We have several names we like, and we're in the process of deciding which to pick.

He was discharged from the hospital this evening, and the social worker said all the nurses were sad to see him leave because he's such a good baby. He's already eating three oz. or more at feedings (which is great for him being so little), and sleeping four hours.

This is starting to feel a bit more real. Even though it's strange to think, over the past six months we've become used to waiting. It has been so hard, but it had become familiar. Now we feel as if we're emerging from a fog into the new and unknown. Our comfort and hope is in the fact that nothing is unknown to God, and adoption is his idea in the first place.

I (Jill) was also able to visit for awhile on the phone with the very kind lady who will be caring for our little one over the next 10 days. She was so warm and joyful, and it was obvious she knew what she was doing. We are so blessed to have this option of him being cared for during this time, although of course we would love to see and hold him now.

We will hopefully have more pictures soon.
