First Full Day (updated with new links)

It is almost the end of our first full day with Briar, wow!
We all survived ;-) .....well not sure if Roxie has, she is a bit mopey and still wondering what the heck this little thing is that we brought home with us, LOL!

Last night went rather well and today has been good up until this evening. His bottle at 8pm has cause some serious gas and the need to burp. I think we have finally worked it out and now we are trying to tuck him in for a couple hours before his mid-night feeding.

I still feel like this is all a dream, do we truly have a son?!

Here are some links to some more pictures:

Linda & Dan,

My name is Maria and I've been following along with your journey for some time(I hope you don't mind). I met you Linda, on FertilityFriend for a brief moment before my account expired. Your story and journey is an inspiration to me! My husband and I are from MN too and pursuing adoption as well. I have laughed and cried along-side you many times, you two are amazing and deserve all the happiness in the world with Briar~who is quite frankly the most beautiful baby I've ever laid eyes upon! Thank you for inspiring me to keep my faith!

Best wishes for a happy life together!!!

Linda & Dan,

Congratulations! It is so exciting to see prayers answered and dreams fulfilled. Thank you for sharing your journey with us.

Briar (cool name) is such a beautiful baby. Those big, brown eyes are gorgeous. Chloe (my 6 month old) wants to know if he's interested in chubby, bald girls!!

I look forward to meeting Briar.
Lots of love to you and your family!

Ryan, Kerri, Cooper and Chloe Hines

Linda as I've said before (FF) congrats on your new addition to your family! So excited for you all! Love Briar, he's a doll (can I say that about a boy?!). Love the dimple!

Enjoy every minute!
