Congratulations Aimze Our social worker visited little pink about 5 days after placement. She said 'look at her, her eyes sparkle, her skin in glowing, she's so content, she knows she's home'. I think your little man knows he is too ♥♥♥

Hey ladies been following along not posting much love hearing all of the wonderful new around here. For those still waiting fingers xx. Lolly its funny you mention the gleam and sparkle. We got our son at 5 weeks old and looking back at pictures from before he came to live with us there was no sparkle in his eyes but every picture every since you can totallly see it. Its like a different baby or something. I think we might be onto something!!!!

Aww Aimze fab news! How old is your boy now Hun?
We've jus returned from a few days in Cornwall which was lovely! Little man loved playing on the beach in the sunshine
He's been a little star and made us so proud of him!
Hope you're all well and enjoying the sunshine x

Sounds lovely dream - very jealous.
I have worked all weekend but the extra money will be worth it when the boys are here. Meeting the medical advisor tomorrow and I am excited because hopefully it will start to feel real again! All this waiting makes me lose sight of the end goal.

It is also a happy time because my new baby nephew (2 weeks old) is now back home after being very poorly and in hospital for a ewe days. Get to meet him for the first next weekend so this is going to be an amazing week

How it going Aimze having little man home he sounds adorable. Lolly hope your ok and resting up. Dream Cornwall is a lovely place pleased your little man had a fun time. It does seem like ages since I started the thread and I don't post much now. I'm always reading it though and there's been so many happy stories and brilliant advice from great people.

 

[Lolly1985]

Yay to lots of busy times, new families, brilliant matches being made and family fun in the sun! It's such a lovely time for lots of us. We have found out celebration is 6th June!! This little man better stay put until it's happened, I am determined to be there. Please please please xxx

Ooh not long to go lolly! Eek!!
I called court today to see whether bf had filed an appeal for adoption order as their deadline was just under 2 weeks ago. No appeal received whoop! So should hopefully be smooth riding
Little man has been a real grumpy bum today! He got up at 7 and was back in bed after an hour and a half! We went to rhythm and rhyme, had lunch and then he slept for 2 hours 40 mins! The longest ever! By 6.30pm he was a screaming, crying mess bless him! He's now sound asleep and I'm wondering if he's got a tooth coming? He's been a monkey and bit me loads today too!! Cheeky boy!

 

[Lolly1985]

Little pink is like that when having a growth/developmental spurt, as well as teeth Dream. I reckon your clever boy is tiring himself out with all his brain power

 

[dreamofabean]

Yeah I think we may getting closer to him attempting to stand alone / make some steps as he's constantly walking along furniture now and on his feet
I think an element of it is the heat, and also catching up on lack of sleep whilst we were away but even so, nearly 3 hour nap is nuts for him! Lovely for mommy though

 

[aimze]

Hey ladies!

Dream he's nearly one got some fab birthday stuff planned!! He's just cut two top teeth so was grump yesterday but got some bickipegs an he's a happy boy now! Fast asleep in my arms

Dream fab no delays! Come on hearing!!

Lolly I hope your lil boy stays out for your celebration, so excitng!

Loski you're so right about fab news an this thread, I remember reading all huńreds of pages before we started when you where going through intros to get a feel fr everything! So amazing to have this support!

Rainy how was medical advisor an yay for your nephew! X

 

[dreamofabean]

Aww how lovely Aimze! It's so special to get their first birthday with them we did a cake smash photo shoot, was so worth the money!! Boo to teeth, they really can be a nightmare!

 

[Lolly1985]

Ahh first birthday, how exciting! We had a family tea party, lots of cake and balloons, and a sea of crumpled wrapping paper! You'll have a perfect day, all of you together, just as it should be

 

[Loski83]

Our little monkeys first birthday was a great day and one I won't ever forget as I didn't think we would experience baby's firsts. This year for her 3rd birthday we have planned a weekend at alton towers and a party in the new cbeebies land I'm so excited. I can't believe she's coming up 3 and about to start nursery it's gone so fast.

 

[Rainy123]

Medical advisor meeting was nice. Nothing particularly exciting but lovely to be another step closer and nice to start hearing more about the boys. They feel almost like real human beings now. Just hoping for more meetings now because next it's foster carers and teachers which is VERY exciting!

 

[dreamofabean]

Ooh that's so exciting rainy!! Eek!!

 

[LolaM]

baby boy is gone! The smarmy bastaaads had a meeting without us and decided he should live with his grampa/dad instead of staying in the stable home he has been in for most of his little life and i am out of my tree with worry..i dont know if he is crying for us, i dont know if his teeth are bugging him...or if hes eaten his breakfast and is on his way to a nap...

 

[dreamofabean]

Oh Lola I'm so sorry lovely, I can only imagine how worried you are. My step sister is a foster carer and I see the heartbreak when her children move on, it's just awful xx

 

[LolaM]

its awful in general, but this guy isnt a suitable guardian and they gave him 3 babies, 2 of them have special needs! He doenst care for himself properly, how will he care for all 3 of them????

 

[dreamofabean]

He will be monitored closely don't he? Doesn't make it any easier though if things were to fail, will he be returned to you? Such a hard time for you x
