Life with a newborn

Aliviah is now 2 months old and we have been back in Nebraska for 6 weeks. It's crazy how fast the time with her is flying by. It took us a little while to understand her cries and needs but she is fitting in to our family just beautifully. We already had 2 post placement visits since she has been home. Only 4 more to go until we can apply for a court date to finalize. Yeah! The only issue non issue we have had is dealing with our medical insurance to get her added. They didn't want to add her because we haven't finalized even though we sent all the corresponding paperwork. Thank goodness for an awesome social worker who called our carrier directly and we were finally able to get her added.

I've had a rough emotional week. I started back at work this week and being away from her is so extremely rough on me. Way harder than I ever imagined. I can't wait to stay home with her and I am doing everything possible to make that happen now. But on a plus side it has given daddy some one on one bonding time with her and he is enjoying every minute of it. So much so it totally changed our Labor Day weekend plans. David was supposed to go visit his family in Oregon that weekend but he couldn't stand to be away from Aliviah and wanted to take her with and of course being gone away from her for 10 hours rips my heart out I couldn't even begin to spend a whole weekend without the love of my life and my daughter so we decided to make it a family affair. So Aliviah will be going on her first ever plane ride next weekend. It all should be fun though. But very busy for sure. I'll try to get better at these posts but it's a lot harder keeping bottles washed and laundry done too now that I'm back at work. Please continue to pray as we begin our journey as mom and dad.
