vietnam adoption

My husband & I are still waiting on our travel date. It been hard waiting. Knowing what he looks like and exist is the hardest..its all we think about. Everytime the door bell rings, or the phone or the mail comes.. We hope and pray its the date. But again nothing!

So Pittsburgh has got hit by a now storm we have like 7-8 inches of snow... and ice on top of it...then tonight it is to go 10 to 15degrees below w/a windshield. So needless to say we have been in the house the last few days. Plus I picked up another cold being in the office Monday... sore throat... really bad! And of course as of now I am in office tomorrow which will not help..since it is a breeding ground for germs ... its like being in school again. But really any office is like that...... so I can not blame it on my work!

So today is valentines and since we are buried in snow..which to some 7-8 inches might not seem like much but the ice has made the roads awful... there is no going out for dinner or anything. So my husband said he will cook... interesting hope that means doing dishes to.

Anyway I hope our son is having a happy valentines day.. and knows that we love him and can not wait to bring him home...

Nothing but time....

Saturday...Thank goodness! Well in Pa its freezing cold and VERY windy. And since I have a cold and can not be giving antibiotics till I am done w/ my typhoid pills for our future trip... I am being lazy around the house w/Simon (my dog)...Do not want to get any worse. (knock on wood)
Michael has been keeping his distance so he does not get my cold... Can not blame him!
Few weeks back when he was sick I slept in the spare room... So anyway I baked some chocolate chip cookies for later... Watched 3 movies... Tristan & Isolde...National Treasure... the witches of eastwick....I love movies... then decided to check my email & blog...

Well we heard from Vietnam. He has put on some weight hes up to 11.5 lbs & 23 inches long. In a few days he will be 4 months old. Time flys... I hope we go soon so we do not miss much more.
Well better go

Still no news...

Well another day and no news... starting to be a trend. I know its not the agencies fault but its hard seeing him and know that he is waiting for us. Like we are waiting for him. I find myself wondering about him constantly..what is he doing, he is warm, is he crying or happy...etc
Well its snowing here in PA... Non stop all day... Suppose to go down to 2degrees tomorrow night...Crazy!!! Guess we can not complain we were in the high 50's in December... Man we will be in for a shock when we do go to Vietnam. But thats ok...
Well not much to say... Later

Soon to be a family... vietnam adoption

Hello! My husband Michael & I started the adoption process Jan. 2006 through Pearl S. Buck who was waiting for their license. In June 2006 the receive their license and we awaited our referral. On Nov 27, 2006 we received what we had prayed for... notice of our son! He was beautiful! In the pic's rec he was 2 weeks old... Born in Oct. 2006. We nervously awaited his medical document review... Its a go! He's our... Our SON!
Our friends &families are so excited. They can not wait to see him., hold him, & buy him stuff. Imagine being us. Now the waiting game... No notice of giving & receiving ceremony yet... no travel date... Just a lot a anxious waiting... To much time seems to been going by he soon will be 4mths old.
