We're back

my sweet children . oh and John

this is when he is the best

aww... sibling love.

this is just because Rozalyn is so cute.

So we finally got out baby boy and the experience wasn't as rough and long as it was with Rozalyn. Jonah was born on October 2 and weighed 8lbs 4oz. The whole process after Jonah was born took about a month, which is defiantly better than four months. Jonah spent some time in the NICU about three weeks which was ok because we had to be in Michigan for about two weeks. Michigan cleared us to go home before Jonah was actually released from the hospital. He is a cute boy and as many of you know, he is a half brother to Rozalyn. The ride home I'd say was the most difficult part of this whole process. He did not like his car seat and he cried the whole time. We made a lot of stop which made the trip even longer. All we wanted was to get home. We did finally get home on October 31 and unfortunatly late enough that Rozalyn missed Halloween. There's always next year, right? We have been home about three weeks now and the issue with Jonah crying all the time is still going on. I admit this has been really hard. Some people don't believe us when they come to visit becuase he is usually sleeping so they don't believe us when we say he crys a lot. Believe me he does. I'm hoping that this phase will soon pass. Rozalyn has been done really well with this whole process and she is a great big sister.

I don't know what to think

So last Friday on the 18th we got the call that we needed to be in Michigan on Monday. A million questions are going through my mind and that's all they could tell us because of security reasons for our birth mother. So all day friday we arrange things to get ready to go. John found tickets to fly out the next day and we arranged for Rozalyn to stay with John's sister and her husband. They were gracious enough to do that for us. So Saturday afternoon we flew to Michigan and got there around 10 michigan time and then we still had to get a car rental. By the time we left michigan airport it was around 11:30. We drove a ways outside of Detroit to find a motel we just thought that would be safer. So we found a motel and got something to eat around midnight because it had been 12 hours since we ate last. Any way the next day we drove to Ann Arbor where we were suppose to be and just drove around getting use to the area. On Monday we went to the social office and unoffically they told us that our birth monther was going in that day and they would call us to let us know when the baby was born. So John and I went out and got a few last minute things. At around 1:30 we get the call that there is some bad news. Apparently they had our birth mother preped and ready to go for a c-section and they did one last ultra sound and decided that the baby was not ready to come out so they resceduled for Oct 2. Apparently the doctor at the prison said that she was ready and she wasn't. So we were bummed and mad that we had come all the way to michigan, wasted money flying and renting a car and stay at a motel and then find out no baby. I'm thinking our birth mother was disappointed also because she really wants this baby out because she has been incomfortable and is really big. What the @#%@ was the prison doctor thinking. We were told that he is not a very nice doctor. So I guess we get to do this all a again in about 2 weeks. We left all our stuff there with some friends so we didn't have to pay to bring it back and then take it with us again. I guess if everything ran smoothly it would be to normal.

What a cutie

She looks like she belongs in the tropic islands

Just thought I would show off Rozalyn in her pretty dress. Thanks Grandma and Grandpa Bunderson for the outfit.

Counting Down

I talk to our birth mom today, she is so ready for this baby to come. So are we. Just 20 more days until baby Jonah is born it sounds like she will have him on Sept. 30th. If not it will be around the 1, 2, 3 of October. I can't believe it's almost here. I really enjoy sleeping through the night but I guess that is the fun of it all. We still don't know how we are getting there or how long we actually have to stay. Hopefully things will fall into place before I have a melt down.

A new addition

As most of you know John and I are adding to are family. Yes we are adopting again. This time it is a baby boy and he will be a half brother to Rozalyn, meaning it's the same birth mother. We were notified the beginning of June about this baby and at first we were really excited because we thought it would be really nice for Rozalyn to have a sibling. Then it hit that John is still recovery from his accident that happened in April and that we didn't have any $$. We prayed about it and went to the temple to find an answer and needless to say we are going to adopt. He will be born October 3rd the day after mine and hopefully John will be able to remember our birthdays. HA HA. We haven't decided how we are going to get there and once we are there, exactly how long we have to stay. The people in Michigan say no more that two weeks. We are going through a different agency this time so maybe and hopefully they are right. For those of you who know last time was to long. If any of you have any suggestions for us on options of getting to michigan or maybe where could fall into some $$ please let us know. Amber if you happen to get your 4 million can we borrow some. JK. Did I tell you your one of the best sister-n-laws I ever had. Anyway we are very excited and we know that everything will work out just fine.

In response to Christina's comment is what makes it even funnier is they are cousins.

Rozalyn and Jacob just chillin on the swing. At least they're not kissing this time.
