If No News Is Good News, Why Is It Stressing Me Out?

We still haven't heard anything more about Jalen's birth father. I keep trying to tell myself that no news is good news, but it's hard to believe that. I think he is going to meet with Jalen's birth mother next week, so maybe we'll hear more then. I haven't heard from our agency, which I hope means they haven't heard anything either.

Every day I fall more and more in love with this little guy. He is such a cheerful baby. He smiles and gurgles a lot already. He is so good natured. I try to ignore the cold spot in my chest that reminds me we could lose him.

I'm a control freak, so sitting back and waiting is driving me crazy. I know I've done everything I can and now I just have to hope it's enough.




Here is a picture of Baylie in one of my shirts from when I was little. I couldn't find a picture of me in it, but I know there is one somewhere.

UPDATE: Turns out that the shirt wasn't mine, it belonged to my sister Tiffani. Thanks, Mom, for finding this picture. I wish you could see just how dirty Tiffani's face is in this picture. This is how she spent most of her childhood.


And here's a fun video of Baylie. She is a good big sister and loves Jalen. She always wants to hold and hug him. On the other hand, when she's ready for my attention, she points to his bouncy seat and says "put him down."

She is way to cute! I can't wait to play. We will have to go to Disneyland someday all together.

Liam loves playing peek a boo and hide and seek. Baylie is so cute! I would totally call the agency and see if they've heard anything. Even if they haven't at least you would know. Anything from the bmom?

I'm sorry you have to go through this. No news IS good news. (fingers crossed) You're in our prayers! PS you really do have the cutest kids on the planet!

I've contacted the agency, but haven't heard back. I think that makes me even more nervous. We haven't heard from them or the bmom.

Hey neighbor - just stalking your blog. We'll keep you in our prayers. I'll have to come over and check out those clothes...

My face was only dirty when someone got out a camera. Otherwise I was spotless and tidy. Just like now...

We were in that place waiting and not hearing anything from the agency until the birthfather signed the papers. It was so hard for me. Praying the wait will be over soon.
