What a week this is turning out to be. We are scheduled fairly tightly. As a matter of fact, I have about 30 minutes to sit down here before our next appointment, then dinner and off to teach an Into Session tonight.
Quick Update - Monday went well. I took baby love for her doctor's visit and sat in the waiting room with BA (bio aunt) and BU (bio uncle) for enough time to break the ice. While waiting in the doctor's office, I had a chance to bring up Friday, mention that we are praying for God's will and express that we would not hinder a kinship relationship if BL remains with us.
Meanwhile, BL has decided to give up eating all together. I finally realized last night she is teething. Which translates to not sleeping in addition to not eating. Desperate, I actually fed her formula + oatmeal through a syringe last night. Today was mommy helpers, family visit, meet with child profile SW...throw 3 babies in bed and hope they sleep before 4.15pm therapist appointment.
Tomorrow is...what I will just lovingly refer to as "hell day". Thursday's seem to be that way for BL. It is 6 hours of visits where she does not sleep or eat. I get to deal with the repercussions.
And then...well...then there is Friday. Friday August 26th. Court is scheduled in two sessions, late morning and late afternoon (should more time be needed). I am dragging my husband with me for moral and emotional support.
I was reassured by another foster mom who is certain she will remain with us. I wish I could be so positive. Counting down. Two days to go.

Praying for your sanity, BL, and for God's will be done.
Thank you Megan!!
Praying!
praying for you during this difficult time.
Praying for you all these next few days! BL can't have bottle or something during the visits? It sounds very stressful, regardless!
baby love's special challenge is that she is not an eater. It is a part of her special needs, actually. Evidently I am the only one who can get her to take a bottle (normally).
