What a week! We found out we were going to finally see bret about a week ago, during that week of waiting I caught the flu/cold.....whatever it was. Saturday night I was so sick all the way through Monday. I finally looked at the back of my throat and realized I had strep! Really?!!!! The day before I get to see my son! I was so worried I would have to call off the visit and we would have to wait another week. I rushed over to the urgent care and waited 2 1/2 hours before they could see me. As the nurse came into the room she was already writing me up to pick up an prescription. I asked her if it would kick in soon enough because we were going to meet our son in the morning. Her head dropped and said "I'm going to do something for you. Being an infertility patient myself, no matter how many times I tell you not to kiss him and hug him I know you are going to do it anyways. I'll give you the shot in the butt for no charge and that will make you fine to see bret in the morning." Praise the Lord! It was such a blessing not only because we didn't have to reschedule our visit but because she didn't charge us for that shot!
Last night, we were in bed and Jaron was praying for our morning to go smoothly. He also said something that made me cry (but he doesn't know that), it touched my heart in a very sensitive way. Jaron prayed, that in the morning when I saw bret that a piece of my heart that has been missing would be fulfilled. Jaron has seen me go through so much pain the last 7 years of not being able to have children, and he knew that holding that little boy would give me something that I have been missing....something that has been a desire that my body could not give me.
Jaron was right, the moment Bret was brought into the room he took my breath away with how perfect he was. That moment I held him I felt complete. With jarons arm around my shoulder and bret in my arms we were a family! I had the family that God promised me even though at times I never thought it would happen.
Bret is a very happy, smiley baby! Every time Jaron would talk to him his was grinning from ear to ear. I know he is going to be a daddy's boy!
Well, we knew it would happen, the visit had to end, we had to say good bye but not forever we will be seeing him on Thurs:)
As we left the office Jaron said "now that was a cute baby!"
We will bring him home on March 22nd!!!!!!!
I wish I could post a picture for you all to see but we aren't allowed for brets safety. You will see him soon enough:)
Continue us in your prayers because brets mother is still out there and may try to get him back. If that happens Jaron and I pray that we will be strong enough and just know that bret was in our home for a reason, even if it is for a short amount of time. The time that we have him (hopefully forever) we want to surround him in our love and the love of the Lord.
Yay!!! :oD
