Where has 4 Months gone??

Not sure where the first four months have gone!  It seems like yesterday I was wondering if I would be a mommy, and now I'm a Mommy of a 4 month old!  Jake is starting to coo and talk to us and just be as cute as can be!



Showing off his new hat from Old Navy!  Such a cutie! 

 Pictures with Jack are hard to com by as Jack doesn't really want anything to do with Jake.  Pixel however will let Jake get hand fulls of fur and skin and grab his collar and he will just sit there and pur until he lets go, then he moves ever so slightly to be out of reach.  Silly kitties!

Angel Face full f drool!!!

 Thank God I'm a country boy!  His Queenie got him cute Wrangler overalls!

 "Yoda, talk to the hand..."  He is now officially bigger than Yoda!

 Four Whole Months and STILL laughing at Yoda

Looks to me he's ready to "go fast!"  I swear it looks like he's holding an imaginary steering wheel!

Looking forward to First Easter!  TTFN!

Mama-razzi!!!

Just couldn't help but post these!  I bought this outfit for his coming home outfit, but alas, he was so tiny we had to get a newborn size, as this is a 0 to 3 month.  I'm so glad he's in that size now as we have a TON of clothes that size!

The shirt says "Dad's First Round Draft Pick"

This is ALMOST a smile!!!

I think he's had just about enough of me taking pictures!  Too bad Jake!  You're just gonna have to get used to it!  Wow, I'm going to have a huge scrapbook for him!

We would like you to meet...

Yesterday wa a pretty good day.  it was a LONG day but all turned out well in the end!  We went to Beaumont to pick up our son.  Here we are waiting for all the paperwork to be signed.  It only took about 30 to 45 minutes, but it felt more like 2 days!  

Here we are after the baby was discharged by the doctor and we were heading to the Elevatory.

Here he is all cozy in his car seat ready for the long drive to his new home.

After we got home, Dean was able to hold him

And, introducing Jacob Dean Ashish Audirsch

Merry Christmas!!

This is REALLY REALLY Happening!!!!

So, you never now how you are going to react to great things that happen to you in life. When we found out we were picked for adoption, we were floored and cried and were so happy!!!  We have been planning for a day like yesterday but you never know how you are going to react when such a thing happens.  Here's the story...

I went on my lunch break and was going to do some lunch time Christmas Shopping when I called Dean just to say hi and how's it going and that it was nice out so he should get out some today.  Then, the phone beeped and it was AIM on the other line.  I told Dean I had to go and answered the call.  It was Denise, she said to call Jan on her cell phone NOW!  Well, guess what!  The birthmother was in labor and we are wanted at the hospital in Beaumont, you won't get there before the baby's born as she is 8cm already!  OMG!  I had to pull over to call Dean and told him all about it!!!  Then frantically called my mother who FREAKED out of course and started to head our way!

We got to the Hospital around 2:30pm.  She apparently went into labor at 1am that morning, but was sent HOME from the hospital at only 1cm.  By the time she got back to the hospital, she was in full blown labor, and he was delivered so fast they didn't even have time to finish the paperwork!!! 

The baby was born on December 15, 2010, 12:23 pm, weighing 6 pounds 10 ounces and measuring 19.5 inches long.  He's happy and healthy, and the birthmother is doing great!

So, we are currently in the "48 hour" window, which ends Friday at 12:30. Please keep praying forus.

I will post more when I know more as we are planning on going to the hospital this afternoon.
