Even though this is a quick post...Neela our puppy says "Please, make it a relaxing weekend mom....I'm tired! What's the hurry?"I'll update more soon. But we met with our lawyer this week and it seems that the next step is scheduling a home study appointment for our "adoption." It's something I'm going to do over the next few days, ASAP. Gee this is getting so much more complicated than I thought. But in the end it is so so worth it. Sorry for the absence in blogging and commenting. Just been working a bit of extra days to help cover the costs of this whole new journey of unsurrogacy and rather direct placement adoption, LOL! I'm sure to return soon in the next couple of days. Hope you're all having a great weekend!
On a very cool note, Brynn started eating some rice cereal recently and is also up to 24 ounces of breastmilk a day also as a bare minimum. Often times she eats more and is growing by the day. The other day my husband weighed her on our very unreliable home scale and she measured over 12 pounds.....what a beefcake from our 4 pound girl she was born at! Not only that, but she still is a breast feeding champ even if we only do it once a day or once every other day. I know how lucky we are if the rest of the time I pump but she'll still feed!

What an exciting journey you are on! I think about you often and say a prayer for you guys. You are so strong, so I have no doubt that you will continue until you have a sibling for Brynn. :)
Have a great weekend, girl.
Oh, and Neela is quite possibly my favorite bloggy-dog out there. She is too precious!
((HUGS))
WOW, things are going at warp speed! That is a good thing, though. You being kept busy! Hi Neela!
What a cute pic.
Things are moving fast with the unicorns and fairy tales. I'm sure it's frustrating all the extra steps and expenses you have to go through just to get to the finish line. It will be worth it though.
so let me get this straight. It's your egg and sperm, but because someone else carries them you have to adopt your own DNA?
catch up with the times Michigan.
You are a busy woman, and you have all the reasons to be.
Glad to hear your unicorns and rainbows are moving right along. Home study -- is it open book?? (LOL) - just show them the photos of Brynn and Neela - that will say it all. Good luck.
What a cute puppy picture. Charley does the same thing, he just has had enough and needs his sleep.
Brynn sounds so delightful! Glad things are progressing for Rainbowland.
Oh, I love the rice cereal stage. Love it.
Glad your meeting about unicorns went well. The very idea that you need to do a homestudy is ridiculous...but good luck with it. I'm sure all they'll have to see is sweet little Brynn and you'll be all cleared!
I'm so glad to hear that things are moving comfortably FORWARD!
Brynn is a cutie patootie (Neela is, too)!
Congrats on the adoption (pppssssshhhhh!) Anyway, I've decided that Brynn is the cutest girl baby EVER.
Neela's waaaaay too cute!
I'll be praying that Brynn will have a sibling soon.
Gotta love Michigan (she says rolling her eyes). It must be very exciting even though it seems you have to jump through hoops.
I am glad Brynn is doing well and that dog of yours is just so darn cute I want to run out and get one just like her.
Hope everything goes well for you over these next few days. Figners crossed!
I can't believe Brynn is already 5 months old. Time sure flew by.
Hi, Neela! That looks like a good nap!
Adorable puppy. Wishing you the very best of luck with the leprechaun and unicorn assisted direct placement adoption.
:) thats an adorable little pup there and a heartwarming post. :)

Wow, what a crazy, crazy ride...but like you said - well worth it!
Things are moving fast for you... sending prayers that all will go smoothly.
Oh, and that is one cute puppy!

Happy ICLW
