WE ARE HOME!

I am sorry I have not posted on here until now. As you can imagine these last few days have been very full. We got up bright and early Friday morning to leave for Long Island at 4:30am. Our videeo camera stopped working (luckily we tested it before leaving) so we drove to Jay's dad/step-mom's house to borrow theirs (Thank God they answered their phone!) We got to our hotel around 1:30 and had to be at the hospital at 2pm. Not much time to freshen up, or even think about what was about to happen. We arrived at the hospital and had to wait awhile in the lobby for K to finish up the paperwork. We were getting VERY nervous pacing, staring at the elevator hoping the next person that came off was coming to get us to meet our son. Hoping and praying he was still going to be our son. Finally it happened. And it was so memorable. I don't really know the perfect word to describe the moments we had with K and her mom as she handed me Alex and we got to know each other better. It was overwhelming, amazing, awesome, and sad.

After an emotional meeting and saying goodbye, Jay and I headed back to the hotel to get to know our son and take all the events of this last week in.

Alex is so wonderful! he is absolutely perfect! We are LOVING being his parents. He has to eat every 3 hours, even during the night to help him put on some weight, so that is tiring but overall it's been pretty easy. We've both eased right into being his Mommy and Daddy. It just feels so natural!


We decided to drive back home yesterday morning. Before we left we went down to the harbor in port Jefferson, NY where we stayed. We took a walk with Alex and took some pictures. We wanted to be able to tell him about where we spent our first day with him.



When we got home we introduced our dogs, Bella and Buddy to Alex and went for a short walk with them. Then family came to visit. We had more visitors today - more family and some of Jay's friends. It was a really good day. Life is good!

It is amazing how instantly you can love someone. But Jay and I are totally and completely in love with this lil guy. He has become the center of our world. And just when I think that I couldn't love him more, my heart grows bigger and I do!

I mean, just look at this face! How could you not just absolutely adore him?
