Enough already!
I am determined to focus on good things so that I will have something to post other than WHINE WHINE WHINE -even I'm tired of it and I'm the one feeling it.
So:
Ummmmm...UPS DID finally deliver my package to immigration (after temporarily losing the SECOND package!) It was late so, theoretically, they will reimburse me and therefore (voila!) sending my package to Texas (twice) should cost me 0 dollars. As soon as they deposit the $$$, I have a lady at immigration sitting on "go" to get the paperwork shoved through. Thank God for people who want to help you.
Our agency called and it is now time to apply for our Chinese Visas. I don't even think I can wrap my head around that. Wow.
Horse is ALMOST back to himself this week.
Massive nesting energy without the energy suck of late pregnancy means that my house, inside and out, is shaping up to be half-way decent. Yay!

For Mother's Day, K-Man found me a GREAT gift. Sometimes, that man really nails it. <sigh>

| So, now I know EXACTLY what I'm gonna wear on Gotcha Day! (These earrings match a dress that I already have in my closet. As you guys already know, owls have become the unofficial mascot of this adoption). Yaaaaay! |
AND....
...WE GOT OUR UPDATE!!!!!
<half-crazy, happy laugh>
 |
| Oh, look at her!!! She just makes my heart beat faster. I'm coming, my sweetie! |
 |
| I wish I felt okay with posting pictures of her foster family. Her foster mom has a HUGE smile on her face and this picture includes her foster dad and her foster sister (the fosters' bio daughter.) She's been WELL taken care of. This just makes me so happy. |
 |
| OH. LITTLE. CUTIE. I have got such plans for that hair. hahahaha |
(PS We asked this question:
"If her foster family could tell us anything about her, what would it be?"
The answer:
"She often shows the (foster) family (our) photos and she can say, 'This is Mom and Dad.' "
My cheeks may break off from smiling. :)
<deep JOY sigh> )
Such a sweet face!! Hopefully the next few months will pass in a margarita haze (with my assistance).

*see {PICS of} you in China, that is!! ;)
ReplyDeleteAdrian you came to mind this morning so I popped over to the blog.... what darling update pictures of your precious girl!!! She is so cute and such a happy little smile in all the photos! Praise God she is being taken care of so well by her foster family and that they are helping her get to know you already- that will be huge for her in transitioning even though it will still be hard. One thing that has worked very well for Ting (although it felt weird at first) is to have a little picture book with a picture of her being held by her nanny when she first met us, then a family picture with all of us together at home. At first she only wanted to look at the picture of her nanny (who until recently she still called mama) but now she'll look and point at both pictures and say 'China!' and then point to each of us in the family picture. You could do this with a picture of Lyric with her with her foster family and then with you guys... might help her in her grief understand that you get what has changed in her life even though you can't fully communicate at first. Sorry for such a long comment just what came to mind!!:)
