He Shall Be Called.... Mahonri

The one name that we can agree on.  We were told that baby is most likely going to be a boy.  So while contemplating what to call him, the one name we can agree on is Mahonri.

One Step Closer to You!

Got word today that your birth mom made it to Bethel. There was so much fear and anxiety these past few days because of the thought that she might not make it out of Alukanuk.  She was supposed to fly out two weeks ago but kept running into issues.  Snowstorms, flight delays, COVID lockdowns, and more.  I can’t explain the peace I felt once Myrlice told me your birthmom touched down safely in Bethel.  She is where she needs to be.  She is safe.  You are safe.  I felt an overwhelming sense of gratitude towards her.  The sacrifices that she has gone through these past few months to ensure your safe arrival into this world may not be one that I will ever experience... but I will be forever grateful for her. Aunty Trayse and Aunty Tarsha were with me when I got the news.  I’m always so thankful for their presence. They’re usually around me whenever I get news.  Good news, sad news etc. etc. I’m so thankful that auntie Tracy was here. She has...

Changing Tables

Today was such a great day.  After work, TJ and I went over to Adonijah & Jayde's to start working on Baby's Changing Table.  With Adonis already over there, we started sanding and putting the first coat of paint on baby's table.  It was the first time in months that Adonijah, Adonis, TJ, and Myself all occupied the same space together.  As we realized that we needed more supplies, we all hopped in the car and headed to Home Depot.  After spending nearly an hour window shopping for things we didn't need, we realized we were hungry.  We grabbed some Pizza, then went to our old park by house #8, and had a picnic in the dark.  We sat there with our phone flashlights, eating and reminiscing on memories of happier times.  We laughed about the first time we went to that park with Peipei.  Talked about everything going on with Baby.  Got an update from Adonis on everything he'd been going through.  We were supposed to spend the night w...

Am I moving too slow?

There are moments sometimes when I feel like Mahonri and his Grandma's are screaming at me for taking too long.  Almost as though he's telling on me.  LoL.  Then there are moments where I get overwhelmed by how much we have left to prepare for his arrival.  Each time though, right before my emotional breakdown, I genuinely feel like Mahonri sends me earthly angels to help me chill out.  Last weekend I was planning on driving to Arizona to pick up a crib and more baby stuff from Shantel.  But it just didn't work out.  I don't know who I thought I was trying to do all that after cooking all day.   Anyhow, we were able to find a changing table and a crib for baby here locally.  Although used, both were still fairly new and still in really great condition.  Finding them felt like a steal and after talking to their previous owners about our journey, they were like, "You know what, just take it."  So I did just that.  The crib w...
