Buying Diapers!!!!

Hi Everyone,

It is has been a few days since we got our wonderful news..My stomach is back to normal..Pure Anxiety and nerves I am sure. Both sides of the family are very excited..On my side I am pretty sure everyone but the Queen of England knows about Sophie.Todd's side all the Newfie's and Frenchies are aware.
Now that we know about Sophie we can start the SHOPPING..The fun stuff. While Todd was at work yesterday I went shopping..The most exciting thing for me to do, wierdly enough..Was to buy Diapers for the first time. I had never been down this part of the grocery store, so this was all new..I did not realize how complicated it was..Which was the best kind?.On top of all that there was the size to worry about.We only know her wait since she was 4 months..She was around 13 pounds or so..In the end my diaper shopping was a success...
Todd and I should recieve our referral package today. We have only seen pictures on the computer so far. This will be exciting..The poor purolator man or women does not know what he or she is in for...Once it arrives we have doctor appointments and will meet with our adoption practitioner to look over paperwork. Than we return it back to children's bridge. Than wait for verification for travel..Travel is most likely will be end of April beginning of May. Cannot Wait!!!
Thanks to everyone for there love and support..Especially to my BFF's for the beautiful flowers on Wednesday..Love you guys!!!!!xo

Our Referral Arrived Yesterday!!

Hi Everyone,

As most of you already know, we recieved our referral yesterday.We are sooooo HAPPY. After almost a 5 year wait..It is over and so Worth it..We are the proud parents of a beautiful baby girl.Her given birth name is Qin Qin and we are giving her the name Sophie and including her birth name. Sophie is a important name to me as it is my grandmothers middle name.Gran was a wonderful woman someone I adored and miss so much..Sophie was born on August 4th 2010 and has been residing at PingJiang Children's Welfare Institute in Hunan province of China since nine days old.She is a good eater, loves to kick her legs..This I found was a funny description..Perhaps the next Mia Hamm. She is heathy and happy baby..We cannot wait to go and get her..Travel will most likely be the end of April..So much to do till than.
Todd and I spent last night celebrating with a little bit of bubbly and of coarse chinese food..We are on cloud nine right now.. Thanks to everyone for all your love and support..xo

Our Referral is at our agency!!!

Hi Everyone,

Today is Monday last day of February.First time I have posted anything for a very long time...We did not expect referrals for another few weeks..Our referral has been at Children's bridge since late last Thursday..The suspense is killing me..I have gotten nothing done..There is soooooo much to do..Laundry is pilling up,Stanley's DNA is all over the house,etc,etc,etc..Plus Stan is also not happy he has not been out for a walk today..I do not want to leave the house in case we get a call and I miss it..My brain is on over drive and my stomach is killing me.Maybe my own labour pains..The phone rang this morning long distance call..My stomach turned to only answer it and it being someone wanting to give me another credit card..I could use it but I hung up immediatly and ran to the bathroom...
Todd is at work and called once..He is calm and collective, but I know deep down is also a bunch of emotions...I Hope we get the call today.....Come on Referral!!Will keep you all posted..

LID June 06/06

This is the first time I have wrote on our blog. Yesterday there was news that referrals are now up to April 26th 2006. This means 40 days of referrals a head of us. With the way things are going we may be seeing our precious daughter within the next year.Very EXCITING. One year sounds good in comparison to the four plus years we have been waiting. Now that things are coming closer and there is some light at the end of the tunnel. We are going to start blogging about our journey. I cannot wait till you all meet her...Keep posted..
