Goin' "HOME"!

Our sweet Grant finally got to come home to the hotel today!! We are enjoying him sooooo much. He gives us more joy than we could have ever imagined. God is faithful...in His perfect time. :o)

Still at the hospital

Sweet Grant is still in the hospital. He is still running low grade fever and docs want to see it come down before they release him.

Good times

Li'l Grant is coming along. They are going to keep him in the hospital one more day due to an ongoing low-grade fever. The hospital is WONDERFUL and we LOVE the nursery nurses. We can't wait to bring him to his temporary "hotel" home soon! We are all fighting over who's gonna hold him!

God has GRANTed us a gift!

We've spent 1 1/2 days with a very precious baby boy, Christian Grant Henderson! He has to stay in the hospital 1 more night and we should be able to bring him to his temporary hotel home tomorrow. Pictures coming soon. :)

whoo hoo...here we go!

Well here we go! We r leavin for PA tomorrow am this time to meet our baby boy, Christian Grant Henderson (Grant) born today at approx. 2:20 pm weighing 7 lbs 8.2 oz 19" long. AND Jacob and Jonah are going with us to meet their baby brother. :o)

There's no place like home...

It's so nice to be home with family and friends! We spent a wonderful day with cutie-patutie Connor and are turning in for the night. We even get to go to Jonah's baseball tourny this weekend. In fact, we're enjoying being home so much that we didn't even notice if we got a call on if our BM went to the clinic or not. At this point, we figure that baby HAS to come out at some point, and that's when we'll get the call. Until then, we'll continue to enjoy being home. :)

Almost home...for now

We made it Atlanta, now waiting to take off to Shreveport. We can't WAIT to see the boys! We'll keep the blog updated for future news on our return trip to PA...this time hoping to return with a sweet baby boy or girl. :)

Even as the heavens...

"Even as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than yours; and my thoughts than your thoughts." Isaiah 55:9

We made it to the hospital with our BM, her twin sister and friend today. She went to the ER at the hospital where she will deliver. She was having a hard time explaining to them why she was there and I could tell they were about to send her back home. So, finding it hard to watch, I stepped in and proclaimed, "She's 2 weeks past due." Well, they almost threw her into a wheel chair and took her up to Labor & Delivery. However, she came back to the waiting area 15 minutes later to tell us they couldn't give her a full examination because she wasn't showing signs of labor. They told her she would have to go to a clinic. She is scheduled to go to a clinic this Friday, which, unfortunately we can't afford to wait for, AND we miss our boys and need to rescue Austin & Lynsey who have taken the sweetest care of them while we've been gone. So, unless our BM goes into labor tonight, we'll have to head back home and hopefully return when she goes into labor.

Please pray for our BM. We do not feel these 3 1/2 days have been wasted as we've been able to get to know her and learn about her life. She is such a sweet girl but lives in a world where there's constant stress and turmoil. Lord, I pray for peace in her life. I pray that, if she hasn't already, that she'll come to know You as her personal Lord and Savior. Use us Lord to bring her closer to You.

WE ARE SO BLESSED by Bill & Gloria Gaither/Greg Nelson
We are so blessed, by the gifts from Your hand
We just can't understand why You loved us so much.
We are so blessed, we just can't find a way or the words that can say
Thank You, Lord, for Your touch.

CHORUS:
When we're empty You fill us 'til we overflow
When we're hungry You feed us, and cause us to know.
We are so blessed, take what we have to bring,
Take it all, everything, Lord, we love you so much.

We are so blessed by the things You have done,
The victories we've won and what You've brought us through.
We are so blessed, take what we have to bring, Take it all everything,
Lord, we bring it to You.

We might actually see a hospital today!

We are sitting at (another) gas station waiting to meet our BM to follow her to the hospital. We finally got to meet her in person at 11:30 pm last night. Yay! Please pray that when doc sees her today that everything's good with baby and birthmom.

These are the days of our lives...

We spent an entire day yesterday grieving over what we thought was a wasted trip (and still not sure) as we could not contact our BM. As we were making plans to return home, our BM sent txt msgs indicating that her cell phone had been lost and she just found it. She indicated that she wants us to meet her at a clinic today. We'll see if this one comes to fruition.
