It's getting closer!!

Word is we may hear about our travel dates this weekend! Oh please I hope so. I cannot wait any longer! Many flights are booked so we aren't going to have that many options. And of course we'll get the worse seats at the most expensive price. Lovely!
We had a GREAT suprise right before our babies 6 mo. birthday! Many great pictures of her at the orphanage! A friend of mine is there for her child and her and her daughter were generous enough to take a ton of photos of the orphanage. And there were many shots of baby on the nanny's laps. She makes fishy faces! She sucks in her lower lip! Her hair is growing back out in the front! She still has her chubby thighs! I cannot wait to get my hands on her! I'm not ever putting her down. I still have a few things to buy for the trip. Those odds and end things that are hard to find. Plus I need to get the camera and video camera organized. I asked the hubby to help make sure we have all the cords but last time I did that we were at Disney and he brought the wrong cord to charge my camera! He thought I should just have the one. This from a techy guy! So now they are all labeled BUT I can't seem to find the cord that charges the video camera. Drives me nuts!
I'm making a little album, two actually, with pictures of her orphange and of her with Nanny's and I'm going to give one to them with extra pictures in it and the other I want them to sign for baby! Love that idea!
Now let's just hope we hear about travel soon!

The story of referral day!

Someone asked me about this the other day and pointed out the fact that I never posted the details on my blog. The day we received her referral I had both kids in my car, it was late afternoon and we were driving to dance class. I was almost there when my cell rang and our agency director asked if I was near my computer because he was sending over our referral. I barely remember getting down the next street and pulling into the parking lot in front of dance studio! I wanted to turn around and go home but thought I would leave my girl at dance and have a friend drive her home. I was shaking kinda bad and couldn't get out of the car! I get out and lock both kids in, then I unlock it and get her out and lock son in, then I get them both out and lock her dance bag in, then my friend pulls up beside us in her car and I can not seem to get back into my car to get her dance bag. It was the craziest moment! So we go in and get her ready for dance, I turn to my friend and said pray she has lots of hair! My daughter didn't have any till she was two! So my Son and I peel out of there and race home. I think by this point I had already called my husband and told him I would call him when I got home. I did learn her birthday and was very excited she was a "Sag" just like her dad! We got home and opened the email, sent it to hubby right away and opened it together. THE HAIR! YEAH! She looked adoreable and healthy! Chubby Cheeks and all! I then spent the next 3 hours printing pictures of her in all shapes and sizes and then used photo shop to add borders as my husband teased me that they were all the same picture just different borders! Oh well! They are too cute! It was a day we'll never forget.

Her Hair!

Was told to post hair! I hope they don't cut it again! I'd love to put piggy tails on top!

Our Precious one!

Due to the fact that she's not officially our baby until the giving & receiving appointment we only posted a little snippet of our precious love. Just a little teaser.........

LOOK at those chunker thighs! I can hardly wait to get my hands on them!
It may be the week of the 4th when we travel. Nice! Hope we can get seats! And pray they aren't sky high!

No travel news

Bummer! We're not in the next group! The anxiety of the week ended with no news! Very happy for those that ARE traveling though. They didn't get much notice. Only a week! So we're hoping to piggy back them and leave to go as their leaving to come home. That would put us traveling the last week of June or first week of July. GREAT! Prices of airline tickets are so high that time. And a lot of flights have very few seats left so what's left is crappy and expensive! We were hoping to upgrade to Eva deluxe or Thai premium. Normally it's not that much more and it's in between Economy and business. But those seat are hard to come by now so who know what we'll get. Plus we have to have the type of ticket that can be changed so adds more on to it. On a good note the volunteer was at her orphanage last Monday and said she is sitting up a little better and stretching her arms out straight if you put her on her tummy. Her bug bites are better but she still has some heat rash on her rolly polly neck. She said she was her happy self when they got there! I may be traveling home alone with her, so I pray she is happy for me for that long travel home! I want hubby to get home with kids and he has no vacation hardly!
