Three Months Old!
Dear Israel,
Happy Three Months baby boy!! Israel, you have NO IDEA how loved you are sweet son. I am overwhelmed by all of the people who are praying for you! It is so encouraging as your mama to hear other people praying for you to come home to us. We are praying so many things for you, baby. We are praying that the Lord would protect you from illness and that the Lord would already be softening your heart to Him so that you will know Him. We are praying for your birth family and for the Lord to be gracious to them. We're praying for your little heart as you deal with the many transitions to come. We are praying for all of the details of your homecoming to come together (quickly!) so that we can kiss you every minute of the day! You look incredibly kissable!
We have been busy getting your nursery together, and your closet is becoming fuller with lots of plaid shirts like Daddy wears! Your daddy and I go in your room every day to imagine what it will look like when you're there. We are sure that it won't stay neat and tidy when you are there- and we are okay with that! In addition to your nursery, we are setting up the rest of the house for you to come home- the kitchen has your baby cups and bowls and even a high chair! Although right now I can't imagine ever wanting to set you down because I want to hold you so much!
This month we finally saw a picture of you smiling, and darling, you have us wrapped around your sweet fingers. Your hair continues to grow longer and crazier, and we know the other kids at Hannah's Hope must be jealous!
For your three month birthday we are going to start packing our bags with donations for Hannah's Hope, the amazing transition home you are in. Lots of people have given formula to take and we are so ready to bring it there in person!
We love you Israel. We miss you and ache for you. We can't wait to see that gummy smile in person and to rock you to sleep every night in the glider your Aunt Rachel gave us! (I have caught your daddy using it already and he says he is practicing reading to you!) We're coming, son!
Love,
Mom
