Our lives lately…

Our lives lately have been chaotic to say the least. BJ and I spend alternate nights spending time with our little man at the hospital getting to know him better and bonding with him.  The rest of the time we spend trying to keep Grayson’s schedule and routine as close to normal as possible. We are tired, but happy.

I have had several people ask for more details about the little man but to be perfectly honest…I don’t feel comfortable sharing these details on a public blog. Please feel free to contact me personally though if you want to know more. Sorry!!  What I can tell you is that little man and Grayson are VERY close in age. Little man has some medical issues and is developmentally delayed. Once he is legally in our care I will consider sharing more but I don’t want to jeopardize the process of bringing him home.

Speaking of! We are hoping for a discharge date in  the next 3-4 weeks and we are trying to plan it to correspond with my last day of work. Yep you heard me right! I put my notice in at my job so that I can spend all my time and energy raising my little men. I am so excited about this new season of life. I do plan to try and do some contract work on the side during the times that BJ is not working but my official title will be stay at home mommy.

Wish me luck on this new adventure…staying home requires me to cook more…you might want to say a prayer for my husband    ;)

We are proud to announce….

That we are adding a new little one to our family!!!
I know what you are thinking! NO! I am not pregnant! ;)
For those that don’t see us often, BJ and I have started the process to bring our new little one home soon. God has decided to bless us and allow us to become foster parents to our a very special little boy. Due to privacy reasons, I can not share his name or pictures of him but if I see you in person, I will be happy to tell you all about his cuteness ;)
Hopefully now that I have spilled the beans, I can start to blog more often. Stay tuned…

Changes

There are a lot of changes going on right  now in the Campbell house...all good changes. Stick with me because I will be back but right now I need to have my focus elsewhere.


P.S. Grayson is doing so great!!

I tried to be a good wife and...

I tried to be a good wife and cook dinner last night. In fact I had it all planned out and even went to the store the day before. I put the chicken in the crock pot before I went to work and really looked forward to the chicken tacos that we were going to have that night. Except I forgot some really essential things for our meal...lettuce, tomatoes, onions...and of course...we had no taco seasoning. Epic FAIL on trying to be super wife and mom. We ate lean gourmet meals from the freezer. My husband never complained about it...and that's why I love him so much.

Things that I need to remember…

  • Grayson started commando crawling on Thanksgiving
  • He started crawling on all fours two days before Christmas
  • He pulled up on  the couch on Christmas day
  • He started cruising a week after that
Boy are we in for some trouble now…
