Introducing Jesse

My life has been turned upside down and the best part is I am LOVING it!!! Things are going really good. So, here is the story: On Tuesday about 3 o'clock in the afternoon I got a phone call from my caseworker at LDS Family Services. She told me that a birthmother had chosen us but it is not a typically situation. Jesse is 5 months old and right now we are fostering him until hopefully next week we can adopt him. We are hopeful that things will work out but please keep us in your prayers! Jesse birthmother, Joey, wanted to meet with us Tuesday night at 7 and she wanted us to bring him home that night. We were so excited. We met with Joey, her boyfriend and her best friend that has been helping Joey with Jesse. Joey said that our profile was the first one that they saw and she took some other home but never even looked at them. This picture is the first one of us at the agency.

When we got home Mya was so excited to meet her new baby brother. She just would give him kiss after kiss. Jesse also thought Mya was pretty cool.

All ready for bed, Jesse is such a good sleeper. He woke up once that first night and then went back to sleep after about 15 minutes. Just one of the nice things about not having a newborn.

The next morning, Mya came into our room about 7 o'clock and the first thing she said to me was "Where is the baby mommy?" It was so cute! Jesse slept until 8:30, it was great! Right before I took this picture Mya was kissing Jesse and saying to him "I love you Jesse". I seriously had tears in my eyes. We are so blessed.

Mya is showing Jesse how she eats breakfast.


The cutest and sweetest little boy ever!

My heart is so FULL!!! I feel so proud to be the mom of these 2 wonderful children. I never thought that I would fall in love with Jesse so fast. Scott and Jesse have a very special bond. Jesse eyes light up every time Scott walks into the room and as soon as Scott talks to Jesse, Jesse gets a huge smile on his face. Well, both kids are asleep I better go get in the shower!!
