Update on the Leave situation
Our H.R. rep said she’s checking with our Home office to see how other offices have handled adoption leave and if the leave can be paid out of my sick time. She advised that the answer may not change (that it might still be unpaid leave since it’s not a medical condition) but she’ll at least give us an answer tomorrow. Well, if it doesn’t pan out the way we wanted it to, at least we know we tried all our options.
Joshua takes really good naps. He likes looking up at the ceiling fan. I need to get out some books or pictures for him to look at. I can tell he’s able to focus on me or Donald and he is looking at us. After a bottle, he likes to snuggle right up against our necks. He is the BEST baby ever!

Awesome Jessie - I can’t wait to hear how it goes. I’m praying the answer is YES that it can be sick leave.
Does it seem surreal that you are a mom because it happened so fast at the end? Are you getting some good bonding time in with Joshua? Are you feeling sleep deprived yet?
Your notes are so sweet. Nothing beats snuggling with a happy baby whose belly is full of milk.
I continue to pray for your favor with the HR decision and for good bonding between you and Joshua — even if you have to return to work next week and Joshua “summons” you in the middle of the night for some extra “cuddling against your neck.” Drink it up, mommy.
