Photos do not capture his brilliant coloring.
He cried, what a little baby! When I pulled him up to my neck to snuggle him, it felt so good to feel his warm, little body and he began to purr.
He is so perfect! Driving 11 hours round-trip to hold him for 15 minutes was totally worth it.
The names we were considering prior the trip are gone. He is none of these names: Finn, Rascal, Oscar, Toby, Jasper, or Maxwell.
He is going to have a much more significant and grand name.
I know what it is, but it won't announced until he comes home in seven weeks.
He is the sweetest, little guy and has no idea what love and attention will be his in less than two months.
It was a long day on the road. We stopped at Ikea in Pittsburgh, grabbed lunch and had near anxiety attacks trying to drive out of Pittsburgh (Yuck!).
Traffic was awful, the entire way there! We were racing the clock to make our 3:00 p.m. appointment and I swear from Pittsburgh through West Virginia to Virginia traffic was so heavy we couldn't pass anyone. Neither David or I have seen anything like it.
We were 45 minutes late which is an absolute no-no for us both being prompt & punctual.
Just as we were getting off the exit and breathed a sigh of relief thinking we could gain 1-2 minutes time [We are now obsessing over each minute] only a couple miles from our destination, a farm tractor held up traffic for nearly a mile.
Adrenaline was running and at this point it was pure principal David made the executive decision he was passing the tractor even though we were a 1/4 mile from our turn.
It was quite the day trip to meet our little boy, but it is unanimous it was worth it.
We both fell in love on Good Friday and we cannot wait until he comes home.
