Oh, Hamza!

As a parent, I have no idea what to do with myself without my children with me.

I cannot, CANNOT wait for Hamza to get home next week!! It feels like Christmas all over again! Thursday, July 28th cannot get here any faster! I just need that little boy back home with me, not eating his dinner, waking up too early, bringing me the remote to watch his cartoons, pooping right before we need to leave somewhere.. I can't wait!

I am going to make sure to spend the next couple of weeks with Hamza doing all of the fun little things I had planned for the Summer. He loves airplanes and I think the first weekend back, we are going to head over to the Dulles Air & Space Museum. I love when he hears one up in the sky and just looks and points to it. Hopefully we can go on a day when the planes are flying close to the old traffic control tower so he can see them up close. It is going to be so much fun!
He loves swimming and I can't wait to just watch him play in the kiddie pool with his water toys! I can't wait to take him there, have some lunch by the pool and just spend some time with him outside.
I cannot wait to read to him at night. I would read him every single one of his books if he asked me too. I haven't been able to do that since before I went to the hospital and only a few nights before he left. I love that he loves to read.

I just want to play hide & seek around the house with him, drive his cars and play blocks with him. It's going to be challenging to take time away from him to be with Faris but I guess I will need to learn to share my time between the two eventually. I sometimes wondered how I could love another little boy as much as my Hamza but I guess Faris heard and made sure I would love him just as much! (As if I wouldn't!)

Next Thursday brings us one step closer to having our boys back home with us and I am so excited! The next step will be getting Faris home. I know that is a little further down the line but he is in good hands and is continuing to do well. He is up to 3lbs 7 oz as of this morning! His belly scan came back normal and his belly button cord was starting to look better. He looks bigger and better every time we see him. I guess we really should get around to painting his room because his homecoming is going to sneak up on us!

So proud of both of my little boys. They continue to amaze me every day.

Is it Thursday yet??
