One Month!

We are just about a month away now!!!  It is crazy how quickly time is passing and I find myself sleeping more and more.  Not that I think having extra sleep will save me during those sleepless nights but I think I am handling the stress by sleeping!  Ha!  This past week we found our daycare provider :)  We have been looking on and off for a while now, most larger centers have wait lists and are WAY out of our price range.  We were fortunate enough to have some individuals recommended to us that have at home daycare centers.  We made some calls and much to my surprise many of the at home daycares' had wait lists also.  I started to worry but after meeting with Mary-Ellen we were sold!  They always say go with your gut and immediately we knew our Juniper would be in the best hands and loved to pieces with Mary-Ellen.  We are grateful she had an opening and now we are all set up.  We have a pediatrician, daycare AND my work approved me to have a compressed work week so I will have 3 day weekends with my baby girl EVERY week.  We are blessed.

We were supposed to have a call with our birth parents this past week but unfortunately it didn't happen.  We will now look forward to talking to them at some point next week! I am hoping we might also get an actual date...fingers crossed :)

I like to follow along at each step so if you are at all interested:
"Your baby doesn't have much room to maneuver now that he's over 18 inches long and tips the scales at 5 1/4 pounds (pick up a honeydew melon). His kidneys are fully developed now, and his liver can process some waste products. Most of his basic physical development is now complete — he'll spend the next few weeks putting on weight."
