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.

Just in case... I need to remember this moment.

TJ and I were minding our business, driving around St. George, catching Pokemon.  On the way home, Durstin called.  Typical conversation starter.  How you doing?  Where ya'll at? etc.  Then Durstin says, "We have a situation I wanted to talk to you and Dora about.  Would you guys be willing to adopt a baby from a Native American Tribe in Alaska?"  Our first reaction was... Where? Then of course we said, "Yes.  Absolutely!"  TJ and I have been down this road before so we didn't want to get our hopes up.  We were on the 15 freeway driving home when we said goodbye to Durstin.  We were silent.  We were excited but didn't really want to admit it.  TJ pulled over to the first gas station we could find and we sat in silence for a few minutes.   Both of us super excited! Both of us refusing to get too excited because we've been down this road before and know we probably can't handle the heartache again.  Both of us...

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...
