Mommy and Daddy…I hope you took a nap earlier today!Įverything now seems like such a blur because road tripping with a squirmy, curious, fussy toddler takes things to a whole new mind spinning level!Īnd like I said in my previous posts, I’m going to share the good and the bad… and the ugly…of our trip… Life is finally slowing down…a little…so I finally get to relive our adventures in New England!įirst off – New England was as amazing as I hoped it would be!!!Ī rare sighting on our trip ~ Vibrant autumn leaves!Īnd yes, we survived our first extended vacation with our 23 month old… Well, we actually arrived back over 4 months ago, but the holidays + never-ending colds/flu + toddler shenanigans = who has time for a blog post? Well…since autumn is right around the corner, and since I have little pockets of time to enjoy, I’m going to continue writing about our New England autumn getaway from last year (hopefully in a more timely manner!) My last blog post centered around our first day from our family New England getaway. Now that I’m starting to get a *little* more normalcy into my life, I’d like to start writing in Passport to Bliss again. Needless to say, I am busier than EVER between caring for a 2.5 year old and a baby! My priorities have shifted all over again, and any free time I once had is now used for housework, running errands and trying to catch some sleep. Our family of 3 was suddenly a family of 4 thanks to the blessing that is adoption!ĭue to the nature of the adoption, I cannot post any photos of Vincent until the adoption is finalized, but let me just say… his smile is priceless!!!
On day 5, when his health improved, we swaddled him tight, secured him into the car seat, packed up his hospital memorabilia, thanked all the medical staff for taking such good care of our little guy, and drove him to his forever home. He stayed in the hospital for 5 days since he was a preemie and had a low heart rate.Įvery day, we came to see him, hold him, feed him, change him and just bond with our new son.
We named him Vincent, and he was perfect! The next day, we made the 2 hour drive to the hospital to meet and bond with our new little bundle of joy. Tears of joy, stress, excitement, exhaustion (at preparing for a little one last minute all over again!) ensued. On April 2nd, our new SON was welcomed into this world, and on April 3rd, we got a phone call while at Knotts Berry Farm that there was a baby boy who needs parents to love him… are we interested?Īfter having our profile book submitted along with a few other potential parents, we got the amazing news later that night that the birth mother chose US to be his parents! If you guessed we purchased a brand new teddy bear snuggly, nice try…īut if you guessed we welcomed a brand new addition to our family…well, you my friend, are… What caused me to fall off the face of Passport to Bliss, you ask? And yes, I know, it’s been what… 7 months?
