I got a phone call this morning from child protective services and my FIL and SMIL have completed all the necessary testing and evaluations and are going to be allowed to have Alex come back to them. So in less than two weeks we'll be a family of one or three depending on how things go! She's supposed to officially move on June 25th but we'll probably begin moving her stuff out early so we can use her room for the baby stuff as we now have a TON of it! Our adoption of her hadn't finalized b/c of the adoption of Ryan and that meant some paper work had to be resubmitted with the correct info and then reprocessed. FIL didnt think he'd get her back b/c he's been charged with child abuse twice from when DF was a kid and his oldest daughter had made several allegations but never pressed charges but apparently the state found no evidence of abuse and has decided to move her back. Now our adoption papers have to be retracted for Alex and Resubmitted for Ryan b/c our situation has changed!
I've already decided to send along most of her stuff including her car seat. We could use it its true but her other seat expires very soon and i dont want her in a booster so to prevent that i'm going to give them her marathon. I'm hoping they'll use it until she outgrows in (they did with the vantage point even thought they hated it) and then she can have the TB i bought her back before x-mas!
Oh and more good news, there's a CPST class here again in august. Unfortunately i dont know if i can take it b/c i dont know when i'll have the twins and i cant take it until after 6 weeks postpartum. I have to have these babies by the end of the month to take it. I'm going to register tonight b/c it only has 10 available seats and if i can take it i will b/c its the last class until next year around me. If i cant take it i will transfer my seat to my SIL who wants to take it. I'm hoping to be up for the class but i have no idea if i will be (its so easy to say "oh i'm a strong determined person i will be fine after labor" but its impossible to know for sure) Being pregnant has affected my back tremendously (sculious has worsened severely) and after labor i'm going to have to wear a hard plastic brace to help my spine go back to its proper location but i know i can wear it and take the classes b/c i wore one in middle school for 4 years and it never held me back (unless they want me to do crunches thats the only thing i couldnt do)
Excuse my long rambling, the kids are both asleep and there's nothing else quiet to do!
