Log In Date!!!

We just got word that our dossier was logged in on 7/20/09! So the CRAZY wait begins for our RA and TA. I've seen lots swirling around out there about the uncertainty of when these things arrive. But I'm refusing to allow that stuff to alter my hope and peace in the One who started us on this road. He already knows when and how this will work out. So I rest in that!! Our agency says 3-5 months average from LID to RA. So I won't even look for it until Oct. But I sure won't be upset if we got an early surprise!! So let the count up begin!!

I can't wait to go get our baby boy!!!

Update!

Last week I contacted Ladybugs N Love which is a company who sends care packages, makes orphanage phone calls, etc for us waiting parents. Since I can't send a care package yet because we have not received official approval from China(that would be our RA-Referral approval)I decided to see if they would make an orphanage phone call for me. I was able to ask 10 questions and they would also ask for updated measurements and pictures. Of course, there is no guarantee that they could get anything for us. But they would try. Last night we recieved the most AMAZING email from them!! They got answers to all 10 of our questions, updated measurements, and 3 updated pictures!!! I ran outside to get Brian so we could open the email together but he was in the middle of something so it was another hour before he came in. I SO wish I could show his picture now. He looks absolutely amazing!!! Happy, healthy(underweight but healthy as can be it seems), and loved. And the most exciting part is that I found out that he is in the Half the Sky program at his orphanage!! What a blessing!! It was well worth the $40 it cost to do that!! I'm just praying that our RA comes quickly so we can go and get him!! These updates are good but makes it so hard too! Just trusting the Lord on his perfect timing!!!

DTC!!

Just wanted to do a post on this special day! You all already know that we are DTC today but I couldn't let the day go by without acknowledging it again!! I'm sure it won't get there until Monday morning but its on its way! Yaa hoo!!
