Rose for Christmas!

I kinda figured that we would get to have Rose for Christmas. I was right! She will be having her visits @ the birth parent's home starting next week. The visits will be longer too. The thing I hate about that is how bad she smells of smoke when I get her back after a visit. I am just making a habbit of giving her a bath each time.
Even though I don't like it, I do want her to start to really bond w/her birth mom like she's bonded w/me. I want her to be happy in her new home. I am worried about all the little things. Like: How she sleeps only on her stomach
How will they know when she's tired and needs to be layed down
Will they be patient enough with her
Will they hold her how she likes to be held
Will she get enough to eat
You know, just all the little things that a mother knows about her baby. I know Rose SO well! Her happy place is in my Moby wrap with her head burried in my chest. I love it.

The next court date is January 6th. She will have been w/us for 2 1/2 months then.

I am planning a week long trip to go see my sister-in-law, brother and niece and nephew. I haven't seen them since July! I am very excited to go! If we still have Rose, we will have to get the Judge's permission for me to take her along. I kinda hope that we don't have her so I can relax! I do miss just having Bug all to myself during the days!

I will post some pics soon. Rose is continuing to grow! I bought her a beautiful, green xmas dress tonight! We are going to see Santa tomorrow (or today seeing as how late it is) and getting pictures of the kids.
