so, yesterday sweetpea met her dad for the first time-
i am so mixed up emotionally since i met him too.. lets say i defiantly can't the guy. her was so sweet with her, and nice to me. and i met his mother (grama) and she was nice..and they are VERY intent on getting her back.. i want my baby, but i also want him to succeed as her father..i am so torn.

dinner of the day 3-25-08!




ground beef with red pepper, zuccini, onion, Braggs- served over quinoa.
yummmm. this is one of my top favorite meals. all the vegis were organic.

isn't she beautiful?

other news (sort of)

we got a placement call for an emergency foster placement of a 3 year old . we said yes, but they had already found another placement. :(
it's ok though, we aren't lacking for kiddos :P

sebastian got TUBES today!


ok..so we show up at the hospital at 6:40 am-right on time. sebastian is in quite a plesant mood , despite having been woken up about two hours early and denied food, water and NURSING since midnight the night before.
this pict is from the first waiting room.















this is the second waiting room- they ad a TV and sesame street was on- joy of joys!














this is our "room"- really just another waiting room. we were in this one over an hour- at first he was ok....













then he wants MILK ...NOW











then they come and take him away from me..lets just say that was adding insult to injury!




they brought him back a little y, very groogy and VERY grumpy!!!












at home it took awhile to get in an ok mood!


but it did happen :)
and he sleeping right now and has been for 3 hours!

i changed a couple of things about my comments on my blog-

are we crazy? no!

our agency has us down on the "vacancies" list, for short term or respite placements of potty trained or older kiddos.
hehe
so maybe we will have another face at the table for a little while sometime soon!

i couldn't believe it when my worker told me that our agency had to turn down THREE infants last week because all the homes are full!!!
