Sleep!

I am not sure if it is Chris and I doing better or Josiah learning but we are definitely getting to know each other. Last night Josiah slept in 3 hr increments. Our nurse made sure that he was up every 3 hrs to eat on the dot. So we stayed up till 11:30 for his final feeding. Then Chris was up at 2:30 when the nurse came in. I quickly went back to sleep until 5:30 this morning. I felt like a new person. I fed at 5:30 so Chris could sleep and then Josiah slept until 8:30. I was very proud of our little man. He then spent about and hour and a half awake this morning just looking around. I told him that he was learning so good. sleep at night, awake during the day. Now lets see if it lasts. :)

Look at those cheeks! So kissable!

Josiah got his first gift since he has been born yesteday. It came from Poppy, Mimi, Uncle Noah, Uncle Jeremiah and Aunt Alexa. It is a stuffed elephant as big as he is.

Chris and I left Josiah sleeping under the watchful eye of the nurses and went to lunch today. It is so beautiful outside! On our way back we stopped by the gift shop to buy our little man something. It is bad. We walked in for 1 item and left with 3. First Chris found a plush puppy dog. It is cute so we decided to make that our gift. Then I saw a baseball piggy bank. His rom is Mickey sports so I could not pass that up. And then as Chris is checking out, I found a wall hanging. I posted it below. Warning it made me cry.

I am overwhelmed by this little blessing God has entrusted to us. I am humbled by how great God is that He would care so much for this little guy. God snatched him out of the clasps of the enemy! He has great plans for Josiah and no one can stand in the way. I am in awe. I can't get over how much God loves us and this little guy that he would bring us together. My heart is overwhelmed. I cannot describe how completely amaing it is to know that this adoption was God ordained from the beginning of time. I am crying because I can't imagine where Josiah would be if we hadn't told God yes we will follow your will. It has been a long journey but this little guy was completely worth it! I love you little man.
