Update

Well, I wish I had more to report but I'll share what info I did get this week. Joshua is doing well. His March well baby check up reports that he is approx 18 lbs & sitting up some on his own. He is able to reach for objects & transfers them from hand to hand. He reponds to his name & plays peek-a-boo or pat-a-cake. He is beginning to imitate speech sounds & is eating solid food well. He is currently 10 months old functioning on approx an 8 month old level (which is normal due to his 2 month prematurity).
I had an amazing shower this past weekend hosted by Autumn Edwards, Shelby Jenkins, & Melissa White. These 3 ladies have been a wonderful support to me throughout this process along with several others. It's a little overwhelming to think how many people already love this sweet little boy that none of us have even met. The family support has been fabulous as well. My mom, sister, mother-in-law, & sister-in-law all came to Signal for the shower & are anxiously awaiting his arrival. God has given me abundant peace & joy as we wait. This child has already changed my life & he's not even here yet!
As far as the time line - looks like the middle to end of May 2010 is the earliest expected date of arrival. It could be as late as July 2010 but I am praying to have him by his first birthday on May 24, 2010. When I get the phone call with the date & flight number, it will only be 3-7 days away. We are currently getting the house in order & getting his room ready. It is becoming more real every day!! I still have to pinch myself sometimes to see if this is really happening. It truly feels like a dream. God has revealed himself in so many ways since making this decision & it is beautiful to live through! Thank you all so much for your prayers & please continue to pray for Joshua & his safe arrival.
