First Baby Clothing Purchase

Ashley and I were at the mall last week and I saw this onesie and just HAD to buy it! It is perfect for baby 2 and I cannot wait to see him or her in it!

Dossier Received

I heard from Lesley last night that she received our dossier, so that is good news. We are still waiting to hear back from Taz concerning our Birthmother letter and our photo album. I am so ready to get everything complete and turned in. I know she is busy, so we just have to wait to hear from her.

Last night I made my first purchase for our new baby! I got the same exact baby memory book that we got for Kaori. It is perfect for our family and I have enjoyed Kaori's so much. I just decided to get matching ones so that one day when the kids grow up they cannot complain that one is prettier than the other! I cannot wait to get it in the mail and start filling it out! I also started looking at double strollers! Wow, that is can be overwhelming! But I am enjoying planning for the new baby a little bit at a time.

Dossier Complete

Tomorrow I am mailing in our dossier! This means that our work is complete. ALl the paperwork is finished and now we simply wait. We wait for the precious phone call announcing the birth of our child! We are sooooooooo excited. We are sooooooooo nervous. Oh, the thought of having two is exciting and scary at the same time. Kaori keeps me so busy and occupies so much of my time, it is hard to imagine another baby in our family. But, I am sure that is normal. Our friend, Yuriko who was at our house the other day has a 7 week old son. The same age as Kaori was when we brought her home. He was so tiny!! Holding him brought back so many precious memories of holding little Kaori. It made me feel very excited to hold our new little one in my arms. We pray for our baby and the birthmother everyday. It is likely that she is pregnant now and is trying to decide what to do. May God bless her with peace and courage. We pray that when she sees our album, she will feel a strong connection with our family. My heart races just thinking of her.

171-H

I am so happy to announce that our approval form came in the mail today!!! This whole process is happening so fast, it is a bit overwhelming! But, we are thankful. In one way we think the sooner the better, so that our family can live together all the time and in another way we think, "not to fast!" So, in His time.

This is an exciting day! It is also Kaori's 20 month birthday!
