As of Friday night, May 27th, Eric and I became parents to this beautiful little boy. I got the call at 4:27, and they brought him to us at around 7:30. His name is Brody and he is 1 1/2 years old. We are so in love with this little guy. Words cannot express how thankful we are to be his parents.
When they called to tell me about him, they told me to talk it over with Eric and let them know, and if we wanted him, he would be ours that night. Of course, I couldn't get Eric on the phone. It took a whole hour before he ever called me back. I had finally called and asked his brother to go out to where Eric was to tell him to call home. Thankfully Eric called just after Mike had left. I told him he needed to get home because he is going to be a daddy tonight. Needless to say he dropped everything and got home.
We were able to get Eric's parents really good. I called and asked them to come over because Eric needed his dad's help fixing our hot water heater that was leaking. OK, so I told a lie, but it was for a good reason. The look on their faces was priceless. They walked into the living room to see Eric holding Brody. All his mom could say is, "Is this for real?".
Each day he is opening up to us more and more, and we are able to see more of his personality. His laugh just melts my heart. I took him for a walk in his stroller tonight so that daddy could leave to go to work, and he just hummed and jabbered while we were walking. It was the sweetest sounds I've ever heard.
I took him to my work today to show him off. People would ask who he was, and it felt so weird to say he is my son. The first few days it really felt like I was babysitting, but each day it becomes more real that he is my son, and I will get to be his mama for the rest of his life.

I am so happy for you!! You will be a wonderful MOM!! Congratulations to you and Eric! Brody is a lucky little boy!
I have been praying for you guys for a long time and I am so glad that this has finally happened for you! CONGRATS!!!!! What a blessing! I tried to write you on FB but somehow we aren't connected there anymore but I just wanted to let you know how happy I am for the new mama and daddy! Baylee was the same age as Brody when Brian and I started dating and he became daddy to her. He can't imagine not having her in his life and she feels no different about him than any child does with their daddy. God Bless and congrats again!!!
Im so happy for you guys. Congrads
