1st purchase

What a week! One full of surprises. We are still thrilled with the news of little Ethan. We found out yesterday that we have our Log-in-Date. It's July 9, 2009. We were told when we were DTC that it could be a month or two before we find out what this date is. Well, CCAA sent it to our agency right away. Bill keeps saying "Things are happening faster than it's supposed to". :-) We also looked at our homestudy and we're approved for a child 1-14 years. I contacted our agency and they said since we will be in China after he turns 1, then we're okay. I'm so thankful for this. I did not want to have to change our homestudy and pay the extra money to get that done.

The other day we went to the baby store. I'm finding it hard to buy anything. We don't need much. And many friends have offered to give us clothes. We did hit the clearance rack and found this outfit. Of course I had to get it. And it was only $5. I can not resist a good buy. :-)


Yesterday & today we started tackling the bedroom that will become Ethan's. We are putting both girls and all their toys into one room, so Ethan can have his own room. Well our girls have so much STUFF! Stuff they don't play with. Bill was getting overwhelmed with all of the stuff. We made some progress. We'll make it work. I'm ready to start planning colors, themes & getting the room set up.

This week has also been amazing to me. I have found out that 4 of my adoption friends either accepted a referral, started the paperchase for a child, has a child they are waiting to bring home or received their immigration approval. So much excitement this week. I'm also meeting new friends because of Ethan. I love it. New families are being formed. It's awesome!

Until next time.....
