4 weeks of waiting

These last 4 weeks have gone pretty fast! We were invited to our first conference call for waiting families at the beginning of the month. I cried when I got the email! I know, I'm so sappy! But it was very informative!! The best news being: The wait time has gone down!!! YAY! The wait time from being DTE(dossier to ethiopia) to getting a referral was 7-9 months. Well, for boys the wait time has gone down to 5-7 months! I think that is sooooo exciting! Also, Duni(our family coordinator) says that if you are asking for either gender it is VERY likely you will get a boy. Now, things in the adoption world change quickly, but for now this gives me HOPE. I have been looking at cribs, diapers, nursery decor! *sigh* It is really nice. I'm also considering using cloth diapers, so I've been doing some research on that. AND I found the baby carrier I want! I really like the Ergo Baby Carrier!! It's on the expensive side, so we'll see what happens! :) I want to enjoy this time of waiting and anticipating, though! I know that sometimes the days will crawl, but overall the time will pass quickly. So if it seems that I am not being content, call me on it! :) But, now I have to go. My sister just called and wants me to help her shampoo the carpets in the house she's moving into! The things we do for family! :)

Just for you, Amy...

So I know I've been really lazy about blogging! I was having some problems uploading our photos, but apparently the problem was me, because today they uploaded just fine! So here goes......

This is me with our newly authenticated papers!

Josue and I with our 3 copies of our Dossier...

This is the size of our Dossier! No joke, we had to mail 3 copies of that!

The very nice lady at our Post Office! What a sweetie! It was a weird feeling to let those papers out of my hands! At least she didn't think I was crazy!

Josue and I in the car with our USPS tracking slip! I checked that website at least a couple times a day!! Seriuosly.
