3 days and counting...

hello faithful blog readers! we have three days left in guangzhou before we leave for the united states. i am learning a whole lot about jamison, and now realize that transitions send him through the roof. he will just get used to our new hotel and province, and then we will get on a plane and go somewhere else. it is in the days following the move that he has his meltdowns. i think once he is in the states and realizes that minnesota is the last stop, he will begin to relax and put down his roots. he is SO independent and wants very badly to learn how to do things on his own. he loves to swim and play hide and seek, he is almost always making noise of some sort, either playing an instrument, or singing, or yelling, i prefer the first two methods.

In a couple of hours we will go back to the clinic to get the results of his T.B. test read. if he is cleared of T.B., we should be good to go on thursday. his test site looks really good to me, so i am hopeful for good results.
for any of you coming to the airport, i think that jamison will be out of his mind exhausted (julieann and i too) but, i think he will be excited to meet his father and brothers. i think it will be wonderful for anyone to come who wants to, and i think jamison will like to have people there excited to meet him. he likes feeling loved!!
don't worry about being too loud or anything. he is very outgoing and i have only seen him shy once, and that was around an 11 year old girl ;)
when i get back, there are some wonderful pictures that i will post. many of you from the PHF waiting families group will have some great new pictures of your babes....i can't wait to send them to you!! three days and counting!!! see you soon!

  1. Heather I am so glad to hear that Jamison is adjusting better. I am sure it puts your mind at ease knowing once he can set up permanent "roots" things will be much easier for all of you guys. It really makes sense that all the moving from hotel to hotel can be disturbing. I bet his singing is music to your ears and heart! Praying for your safe return!

  2. Heather,

    Sounds like you have had quite a trip! Hang in there and know that things WILL get better once you are home and settled.

    By the time that you've been home for 6 months, you'll never know that he hadn't always been there. :)

    Keep telling him that you love him. It will eventually drop into his heart.

    I'm continuing to pray for all of your transition!
