I just don't understand what is going on. My mom is running around screaming WAHOO WAHOO WAHOO. I think I will just go to sleep cause she is acting CRAZY!!

Handsome little man. Waiting for his baby sister Avea.

This is the diaper cake that I got at my baby shower. Maggie made it. I have never seen something like it. It was sooo cute.

I found this at a garage sale. I paid $35 for it. Sanded painted and put new knobs on it. Now we have a bookshelf/vanity/desk for the future.

This is the only area that needs to be finished. Jimmy is building a window seat in the dormer. It will be a toy box too.

Oh how I wish I would have taken a picture of this chair before and after. It was the saddest looking thing. I found it in someones garbage up at mom and dads lake. I just knew it had potential. It was burnt yellow Boucle', yuck it was UGLY but I knew it was perfect. The tag I found on the bottom said 1964. I love the 60's and 70's furniture. It rocks too!!

Mom made the comforter out of the curtains that I picked out. And she also made the ruffle. It is soooo cute.

WAHOOOOOO!!!!

Just found out through email that we have our Birth Certificate ALREADY!!! The email said "Hi Denise , we have received BC!!!!! I seen it with my own eyes!!!" and that was it. I am so excited it is almost as good as getting out of PGN. There are a lot of people on my forum who have been waiting 4-8 weeks for their BC. Ours was two business days. I CAN'T BELEIVE IT!!! I am giggling right now, thinking God must have gotten sick of me praying, give her what she wants so she'll leave me alone (JUST KIDDIN) But I have been praying non-stop WAHOOOO! !!!GOD IS GOOD!! I have learned this from my forum people that it is usually 20-25 days after BC to embassy appointment. Now, I am not sure if that is business days, or all days. So I will have to wait and see what the agency has to say about it. Looks like I will be out of work sooner than I thought WAHOOO!!!! I am ready for my girl!!

NO UPDATE FRIDAY

No update Friday. It was a bummer, until they said NEW PICTURES ARE COMING!! WAAAHOOOOO I love new pictures. It's funny that pictures are so exciting, but thats all I havc FOR NOW!! So keep your eyes open for some more pictures. They said that their taking them Monday so probably Monday night or Tuesday.

Also I actually talked to my agency. They said, that they have a family picking up now and one picking up next week. Both were 6 week pick ups. But we will see. I hate being so negative about it, but you hate to get your hopes up. Well I am going to keep praying to get her home asap. Thats all for now.

NO UPDATE FRIDAY

Nine Months

Today my daughter (I like the sound of that) turns nine months old. I never really thought that she wouldn't be here with me right now. I am sitting here wondering how many teeth she has (two confirmed by the last pictures), is she crawling, is she saying mama, is she pulling herself up and getting into everything, does she have that deep down belly laugh that I love to hear. It is sad to be missing all of that, but at least I know that she is ours, and she will be here soon.

Our attorney is finally submitting for the Birth Certificate 8/8. I am thinking that the last birthmother signature had to happen before that. I have a email in to the agency asking them that.

I have decided as of now that the last week that I am booking appointments for is the 19th of September. That could change at any time depending on what I hear, so if you want your hair done before I am off for two months call soon.

I am going to be putting pictures of the FINISHED room on this soon. As soon as I can find the cord to my camera. ( I looked for one hour last night). Also there will be more pictures of Avea coming mid August I hear. CAN"T WAIT!!! Thats all for now.
