Somethings I can't wait for...

Some of the things that I look forward to the most:

1. Seeing our little guy for the first time.

2. Looking into his big beautiful eyes and reassure him that he has a mom and dad who loved him before we ever met him.

3. Kissing our little guy.

4. Having our first photo as a family of three.

5. Holding him until my arms hurt.

Our little guy has already stolen my heart. It is amazing how lucky we are to have someone waiting to be our son and oh how we have waited for this day. 

days until we are on our way.

The count down....

days until we are on our way to meet our SON.

As every day passes I get more and more excited and honestly a little nervous. Nervous for the unknowns. We have done lots of research but who knows what we will see in our travels. I often think about what our little guy is doing. Is he is being taken care of? What his orphanage is like? Is he healthy and strong? What is his personality like? So many of of these unknowns will be known, and soon. Once I get to hold him in my arms and love on him, how will I be strong enough to let him go?

Caleb and I were out running errands on Friday after our shots. Here is how part of our conversation went:

K: Tell me the one thing you love the most about me.

C: He says a couple of things in a joking manner, then as we are getting ready to get out of the car he says "The thing I love the most about you is....how much you love our little guy".

Are you kidding me??? Melt my heart. I honestly thought he would just keep joking about his answer. I love my husband.

More shots done

Today we went to the travel clinic and had another set of shots. I have to make one more doctors visit for both of us to get the next Hep A/B shot. This should happen within the next couple of weeks.

A non update Update

Today we received an email update on our little guy. When I first looked at the numbers for his height and weight they were the exact same as the update we received two months ago. I emailed the girl at our agency to see if they can double check the numbers. It is hard to think that he hasn't gained any weight or gotten any longer. So long story short we are asking the orphanage to double check that they sent the correct numbers to us, so stay tuned because there will be another update.

Is it too early????

To send Santa a letter telling him what I want for Christmas? This is what I am ready to write him:

Dear Santa,

I have been really good this year and there is only one thing I am asking for. There is a baby boy sitting in an orphanage waiting for his mom and dad to come get him. Please make my Christmas wish come true by making there be one less orphan this year.

Wishing him home for the holidays.

We counting down days now...

days....and counting.

How many months until court????

We are starting to gather/buy items we will be taking with us. 

Pictures to come. Things around here are getting more

and more exciting. I am also working on a new project for him.
