We met Isaiah Allan today! He is amazing. Our time with R and her family was very sweet, and we will treasure it forever. R is amazing and we praise God for her wise choices at a very young age! First, she chose LIFE and then she chose to provide him with LIFE ABUNDANT that she felt she couldn’t provide.
We were suppose to be discharged from the hospital around 2:00pm, but the pediatrician wanted Isaiah to urinate first as he had been circumcised that morning. So, we waited and waited. He is a very sleepy baby, so we tried feeding him so he would urinate, but he wasn’t interested in eating much. We tried blowing cold air on his ‘area’ to stimulate him to urinate, but that didn’t work either. It was quite comical, three adults sitting around waiting for a baby pee (Jennifer - our case worker and us). Finally we were given permission to leave with him at 5pm, not because he had pee’d yet, but because Jennifer convinced the hospital to let us go because we had a long ride ahead. I rode with Isaiah in Jennifer’s car, and since we don't have legal custody yet we can’t drive him around. We drove from Bad Axe, MI (Isaiah’s birth place) - yes BAD AXE - to Saginaw where we met Isaiah’s host mom (where he will stay until we get custody). Grandma Sue we call her. She has cared for over 100 babies, and is amazing. We then began the second leg of our trip and caravanned with her across MI to Ottawa County. This drive was very hard, not being with Isaiah. We finally arrived to our host home around 10:30pm. What a very long day… we realized that we have driven around 900 miles in the last 48 hours!
We arrived at our host home and were happily greeted by Eryn and Juve who generously offered to host us during our time in MI. They had a large ‘It’s a Boy!’ balloon and sign waiting for us inside along with a baby blanket Eryn made. We had a great talk with them until midnight, got to know them very quickly. Around 12:30am we finally went to bed.
Of course what you all want to see is pictures so, here they are:

I posted under the wrong one! We hope you made it home safely! Kenzy can't wait for to come back...she said it is really hard to wait :) You have been in our prayers today.
Sorry...just catching up on your blogs! I can't believe his birthplace. Bennett's nickname was Battleaxe in the womb so that would have been so fitting for us! Jon's going to be so jealous. If he'd known that place existed, he probably would have had us drive there to deliver Bennett just so that could be on his birth certificate :) ha ha!
