Calvin Leo Meyer is here !




Wow. Life has been a crazy lately. Our family has grown by one sweet little boy! One adorable little guy with brown hair, wrinkly feet and some squeaks.

Adoption is, I have decided, some sort of crazy adrenaline sport with lots of waiting thrown in too. All of the sudden everything turns on a dime and the universe is very wonderfully different.

Here's a recap:

Nov 3 We get the call!! We've been selected!

Nov 6 We meet with the agency and learn more about birthparents and baby!

Nov 11 We meet Birthparents! We talk easily! We like them!

Nov 13 – 14 Already planned get-away, little cabin in Green Mountain Falls.

Nov 18 4:27 pm Shannon gets the call that birthmom is going to hospital!

Nov 19 10:19 pm Calvin Leo Meyer is born, 5 lbs, 9 oz, 19.25 inches long!

Nov 20 We meet Calvin and spend all day with him at the hospital!

Nov 21 Homecoming! Calvin Comes Home!!

Nov 22 We settle in - snoozing, bath time, snuggling.

Lots of folks sending congratulations and best wishes. Everybody is looking forward to meeting our little one. We are looking forward to watching him grow up.
