WOOHOO!

We finally received our referral for the most precious baby boy! We got the call on March 11th and are already in love:) He is 3 months old and absolutely delicious!!! Can't post pictures or his name but I can assure you he is perfect!

still waiting...

To all my other waiting peeps....

This ride has gotten pretty crazy (can I get an amen?!?!?!) It seems like all we are getting is bad news lately-and I had to do something to make us smile (I hope:))
Please consider the three following things:

1. Take a look at me in the infamous Christmas sweater (don't you think the lovely turtleneck adds a little pizzaz?)

2. Please order one of these prints here and place it in a prominant area of your house for a reminder...a parody off the old "keep calm and carry on"

3. For your viewing pleasure watch the video below of Richard Simmons falling-I cried I was laughing so hard watching it;)

AHHHHH

Now word on the street is "our baby probably isn't born yet"...$%&#!!!

Word on the street is that we should get a referral by Christmas! My hopes are up, this could be dangerous...

Baby Wait?

Nesting

I haven't really been writing much lately, well, because there is nothing really to report on the adoption front. We are still waiting and have now been told that we will need to travel to Ethiopia twice before bringing our baby home. At first, the idea of going twice stressed me out and seemed like a burden. Now the thought of it actually excites me. First of all, we will get to see, hold, love our baby sooner than we thought we would be able to-what a blessing! We will also be able to experience the Ethiopian culture first hand a couple, instead of once in a whirlwind, of times which is amazing. For some reason hearing that we were going to get to go twice renewed my excitement for the whole thing-for some reason it seems sooner and more real now:) I have started "nesting", if you will, getting ready for the baby to come home. We got Jackson a big boy bed and told him the baby will be sleeping it the crib. He got really excited about a baby coming but can't quite wrap his head around why the baby can't come now! I was also inspired (thanks Kristen) to use eco friendly diapers this time around and got excited while looking at the gdiaper website!!! You know you are ready for baby #2 when the thought of diapers give you a thrill:) Not much more to report for now...
