My big project.

Time to let the secret out. My big project is really a joint effort with Mr. Temmie. After 7 long years of struggle and heart ache we are finally becoming parents. No it's not another furbaby. It a real, honest to goodness, bouncing baby boy! O.k. maybe not bouncing, but he is a fighter!

Meet Marcus Isaiah!

This little guy was born to a mom who is not ready to take care of him and had the courage to say so. She wanted him placed with someone in her family and Mr. Temmie and I fit the bill.

For those that know me really well, you know I have a hard time keeping secrets. Well I kept this one from most people for almost 6 weeks. It was BRUTAL!! But now that most of our paperwork is complete, including our homestudy, I feel like I can share. That and the fact that he will be discharged from the NICU in 10-14 days makes it all a little more surreal!

I'm headed to California this weekend for a little, o.k. a lot, of snuggle time and reading books. Then I come home for a week or so and head back with Mr. Temmie to bring our little guy home! I'll try to post some more updates this weekend, but I'll have limited access to a computer. But I'll only be gone for 4 days so if I can't post you can put on your big kid panties and wait! ;)
