I can't exactly make this terribly long. So much is going on... Eddie is still supposedly two weeks away from giving birth, but at her last visit her doctor said she could have our little one (she's actually quite large... Mum told Eddie that's generally how Malone children are)at any moment. Mum is going to fly out and stay with us for the first six weeks, after which she'll move to a hotel and Dad will fly out. They'll both be around for the duration of the summer. Because Caleb's parents and I have finally worked out that he'll be flying in for a visit the 30 of July to the 12 of August. That way our little one won't be so brand new. He'll get to meet his grandparents and his brother and sister...
And that's the other news. Last week everything was finalized with Marshall. The adoption went through, the name change went through... Just in time to meet his big brother and his baby sister. Marshall Edward Malone. Not that it changed anything with Meatball. He didn't quite understand why Daddy was making such a fuss. Because I'd always been Daddy. But it... it felt so wonderful.
While it's incredibly stressful, and incredibly emotional... I haven't been quite able to process how incredible all of this happening so close together is. My family... my children... all coming together all at once. For so long I thought I wasn't deserving of this, of a family, of children. Now, very shortly, I'll be able to hold my baby girl in my arms, next to my wife, showing her to our son... letting them both get to know their big brother.
I'm not sure how I got this lucky.
