Planning meeting went ok other than FFSW seems so disorganised it's ridiculous. So we are away with intros from Tuesday until Saturday so 4 nights, she booked the hotel for 3 nights and then tried to say she hadn't made a mistake but once she read through it realised she had so had to book another nights hotel accommodation. The it turns out she had booked the FC into a hotel for the wrong night as well. Sunday FC is bringing little ladybug to ours and having lunch with us then going to their hotel and LLB will be staying with us overnight and placed the following day.
Day 1
So planning meeting went ok other than the odd mistakes as already mentioned. We left there then booked into our hotel, had about half an hour to spare before going to meet our little lady.
FC is lovely welcomed us with hugs. LLB is so adorable and looks like a little doll. FC quite quickly passed her over to us and she didn't seem at all hesitant about coming to us and even got a smile. LLB allowed me to feed her some nectarine unlike BB when we first met him he refused to allow me to feed him! She was obviously quite comfortable as she fell asleep on Mr Ladybug. The plan was for us to only be there for an hour and a half, that turned into three and a half hours as LLB fell asleep and we were told not to leave whilst she was asleep And how important it was for us to tell her we would see her tomorrow.
Day 2
I woke up at 3:40am as the room was so hot and I had a bad headache, I was awake for 2 hours! After breakfast we went to FC for 10am. LLB was all smiles when she saw us. Within about half an hour of arriving she had fallen asleep on me! Again today she let me feed her twice. FC has stepped back quite a bit already, she left us with LLB whilst she made us lunch. We were due to leave after lunch but DH made LLB fall asleep on him again! Once she woke up I went back to the hotel to pick up BB who was being looked after by nannie and grandad. We took him to meet his new baby sister for an hour, he was so excited. As soon as LLB saw him she smiled.
Tomorrow I am going to FC for 6:30am so observe morning routine and staying until lunch then having and returning for 5pm to observe evening and bedtime routine! I am going to be so tired!

Thank you Moo. She does seem to have been prepped well and she has only had the welcome book since Friday! Her FC showed her the book when we were there and said to her hug mumma , hug dadda and she leant forward to the photos as if to hug them. We bought one where you can record voices but nit the dreaded Tony butterfly one as they no longer make it!
Babybug seems to be loving it at the moment although when he has to share toys and his house not so sure it will be the same! He was walking around looking at LLB's toys and telling her to come to him, she can't even crawl as yet.
I was awake early again at 4:40am. Just going for a shower then off I shall go to FC. See you all later.

Day 3
After waking up at 4:40am I got to the FC at 6:30 after a cup of coffee and a couple of croissants.
To say I was tired was an understatement. I just observed FC bathing LLB and dressing her then fed her breakfast. LLB was all smiles again when she saw me. DH stayed at the hotel with BB and they had breakfast with Nannie and grandad. Nannie and grandad took BB our for the day.
while I was waiting for DH to arrive LLB fell asleep on me for around an hour which almost made me fall asleep. After lunch we came back tat the hotel to try and get a little bit of sleep but that didn't quite work as BB returned. We had an early dinner then returned back to FC with BB so he could see his little sister again and give Nannie and grandad a break, for bedtime routine, again bathed LLB, got her ready for bed. DH gave her a bedtime bottle and then to bed at 8pm.
Was asleep by 10:30 as early morning again for day 4.

Sorry lost track of days!
Day 4
I got up early again to go to FC and do the morning routine. Nannie and grandad went home so just left the three if us. I drove back to the hotel to pick up Mr Ladybug and Babybug for the rest of the day. At 12 o'clock we had our review meeting but the only social worker that was there was LLB's as FFSW was on annual leave. All a little bit weird as she wasn't used to running these type of meetings! She needn't have worried as BB seemed to talk and talk and almost run the meeting! All went well and going to plan so on day 6 LLB would be brought to our house and stay the night before officially being placed on day 7.
Day 5
We had to check out of the hotel so we had our breakfast, checked out and went to FC's for around 9:30. Spent the morning there, FC cooked us some lunch and we left at 1pm to get home and ensure the house was ok for them coming the following day. Lollipop (my step-daughter) was looking after the cats for us. We got home at 6pm to the house not in a good state and cat wee on the new laminate floor because the litter trays hadn't been cleaned. Turned out Lollipop hadn't been since 5pm the previous day!! So glad the FC didn't come with us, I would have died!
Day 6
Had another clean around the house and out the remaining bits of LLB's that we had brought home with us, a whole suitcase of clothes and a massive bag of toys!
FC arrived at 4pm with the remaining bits for LLB and obviously LLB, they stayed for about half an hour before going to their hotel. Needless to say there were a few tears shed.
Dinner, bath and bed went well. LLB woke at 5:30! Had a bottle of milk and went back to sleep from 6-7. FC arrived at 11:30 had a quick drink and held LLB then left by 12:15 so as they hopefully wouldn't get stuck in rush hour traffic. SW arrived half an hour after FC had left. SW had some lunch with us and a cuppa then handed over birth certificate etc and so LLB was placed!

Xx moo xx Moo he absolutely adores her but finding it hard sharing the attention which is showing in his behaviour. He is doing anything for attention including trashing his bedroom with his friend yesterday!! I keep trying to upload a photo of the two of them but it's not working! x x x Ladybug x x x |
