He has come to us quite quickly! On February 23, the social worker called to tell us we had been chosen by a birth mom to adopt her baby boy that was already born. We met the birth mom the next day and proceeded to go forward with adoption. After a week and a half of somewhat controlled chaos and the gamut of emotions, Wesley was placed in our arms for good yesterday, March 5 (with the exception of a few legal formalities a few months down the road).
Little Wesley was born on February 16, 2010. Since he was around 7 weeks early, at birth he weighed it at a whopping 4 lbs 8 oz. He stayed in the hospital for 10 days to ensure he could take a bottle for a full feeding on his own and maintain his body temperature. He has done incredibly well and is so beautiful! At his first doctor's appointment this week he weighed 4 lbs 12 oz. It is so remarkable watch something so tiny and helpless chug down his bottle with a fair amount of ease (once we figured out the right nipple and bottle size for the little guy).We've yet to really hear him cry. He just sounds like a quiet little bleating lamb. I know this will change soon but it is very sweet nonetheless.
Here are some pictures for you to enjoy!
