• Amya...two weeks later

  

  Things I am Thankful For:

  * Schedules!!!

  * My husband who is working hard to provide for us!

  * My best friend, Robin, who is in the trenches with me.

  * My other best friend, Michelle who makes us both sane.

   

  So two weeks later, the little girl is still with us.  Today, her mother, Sandy will come for her third visit.  Before she arrives, she is going to look at an apartment, so we will have an idea of how long little Amya will be with us.

  She is a terrific little sweetheart, but she is extremely clingy when she is awake.  She is finally sleeping through the night (most nights) but has some trouble falling asleep without a bottle.  Both Liesel and Amya are teething, so they are a little crankier than they normally would be. We are making progress, little by little, but it is tough work.

  Yesterday, I had some guests visit, and Amya and Liesel were playing on the floor.  Amya crawled away, going a few paces, and then looking back to be sure that I was still there.  Little by little she made her way out of the room and when she realized she could no longer see me, she sat down and cried.  It was sad to think that she is so confused by her different life with us during this time.  It is also sad to think that although we will remember her, she will not remember us.

  For now, we are learning how to keep on a schedule to keep our sanity, keeping my friend Michelle on speed dial, and trying to remember to do everything twice so that one baby doesn't get left out.
