I just asked our son where he was going as he crawled away from me and it sounded like he said "dada" 🤯🥳 Today is my husband's birthday, so that was really fun!

Yesterday our son started babbling talking instead of mostly just squealing. Multiple times it sounded like he was saying "I love you". 😎

God told both of us separately that we'd have our son back sooner than we thought. So, first, I moved up my hopes to Monday or Tuesday, but then God said it again, so I figured it'd be Friday, but I was thinking the end of the day. Then we had a 2h morning meeting from 8:30am, at the end if which we were told all restrictions were removed and we could start having him overnight, just not officially get custody back until the judge says so. God is so good and it's so fun interacting with God, because He's REAL!

Our son crawled to the edge of the bed, then I told him he needs to go feet first, so he grabbed my hands, used them to stand up, then walked towards the edge and started sliding down, using my hands to go slower and to pull himself forward to keep going down until he reached the floor 😎 He'll turn 10 months in a week.

I got hungry so I made myself an egg... I forgot I have a baby who now eat everything I eat and more... 🤣 I got some of it myself though, but mostly because I took a big bite after giving him a little one 😅🤣

I just read another disgusting post that talked about how a mom who chooses to stay home with her baby "pause her entire identity, put her career on ice, let her ambition shrink, in the name of stability, sacrificed her salory, and sanity so their kids could grow up held herd and safe." Eh, this is all based on the lie that a career is more important, and selfishness should be celebrated. Plus, a dad who chooses to go to work is sacrificing his time to get to be there and see all the milestones and be present and father his kids himself! To push that it's better for kids to be raised by strangers than their own parents is a disgusting lie that's actually hindering parents from loving their kids. Our son is absolutely amazing! I chose a husband who wanted to be a present father. He has chosen to do things for money that allows him to be with his kids! Sure, I was able to focus a lot better on writing books before our son was born, but I'm not putting my dreams on hold, I'm living my dreams! I can be an author for the rest of my life, but I can only see my baby while they're a baby! That's not very long at all! Our son is already almost a year old 🤯 Plus, my identity didn't get paused, my identity increased! I started as a daughter, then I became a wife and now a mom, they're all true at the same time! And yes, writing a long post like this has had me stepping away multiple times, but I'd much rather have my son with me than "being able to focus on 'what I wanna do'!"

Got to meet some of my husbands old friends today. They got to meet our son and then the 5 of us went to a town with wild donkeys in the city center eho love getting fed there, so our son got to put his hand on one of them! ☺️👶 It was fun, I liked them! Apparently my husband took some baby bump pictures with them when they were expecting their now 14 year old daughter🤯🤗

To hear that we are awesome parents from people who investigate parents for a living is quite reassuring 😎 Someone said it was the fastest turnover they'd ever seen! We got to bring our son with us directly after the meeting 🥳🥳🥳 Still not done, but oh how relieving!

Having been forcefully separated from my son for a week, I knew we'd be reunited, but it was still extremely painful. That's nothing compared to the agony Jesus and the Father went through when Jesus was on the cross. Having been together for eternity before that and after that, but even just that moment of separation... ouch! I'm extremely grateful for my parents-in-law for all they've done this past almost month! And soon we will be done with all of this, because when God fights for us, no one can be against us! Without God, I'm not sure I could have carried all of this.
