Today we went before Judge Gonzalez and Denise M. officially adopted Nicholas. It was a great day and a quick judgement; the pictures took longer than the actual hearing. The hearing took place after a four hour home study and lots of paper work. The first picture is of Nicholas and the judge and the second is of our lawyer and the guardian ad litem for Nicholas in the case. We are both looking forward to Mother's Day this year as it will be extra special. Nicholas is 4 months old today - or 3 weeks corrected, depending on how you "count" the time. Overall, he is doing very well. He continues to eat about 3 ounces every 3 hours (1/2 breast milk and 1/2 formula). We estimate he is just over 9 lbs now. His next official weigh in is on Monday prior to his surgery.
Congratulations to all three of you. Nicholas, those Mommas are certainly proud of you as you are of them. Kind of bittersweet for Mother's Day though knowing you will have surgery the next day. That was interesting knowing about the ad litem legal representation for Nicholas. We hadn't thought about that aspect. You will be showered with so much love Nicholas and you deserve it.
ReplyDeleteHappy 4 month birthday. Hope they lit a candle for the special day Nicholas and gave you a little extra milk.
Hope work is going okay for Momma R. Amazing how the time flies by even though it seems to drag too.
Love you all.
