[BitsyNaceyDog]

Tonya doesn't post too often anymore, but we need to include her little Tyler, and Jaden too.

prchrswife- So you should be getting a referral in about 3-4 months and then travel to China about 6 weeks after that? When you get your referral, will you get a picture/name/info on the child you are adopting (I'm assuming it will be a girl)?

We are expecting our referral to come probably in January, although there is a remote possibility of December. When we get the referral, that is when we will get our picture/name/info. Then we wait for another month or so on travel approval. After the travel approval comes through, then our facilitator sets up appointment times for our group, and then we get our travel dates. There is A LOT of hurry up and wait time in this process.

I guess it does have some advantages--no morning sickness, no weight gain...

Don't forget- no mood swings! I had some horrible mood swings while I was pregnant with Misha. Poor hubby got chewed out for stirring his oatmeal wrong, then I promptly burst into tears for chewing him out.

What exciting time for you and your family! Please keep us updated! We can't wait to meet your new addition- along with all the other new ones on the way!

Gina- you have done an absolutely fabulous job on this! Thank you soooo much.

[Corinna]

Stenogausous had hers about the same time as Jonah . I remember making 2 quilts.

[nsweezie]

Hello!
Just found this thread- and thought I'd post a picture of my new addition.
His name is John Mansell Ernest, and he was born September 2, 2005, weighing 6 pounds 4 ounces.
I've attached a picture of him with his great grandmother- she is 89 next week.

[Christiansmommy]

I guess I can add my little one to the list.

My estimated due date is June 24th, 2006.

Don't know what I am having, but will find out in another 3-5 weeks at the "Big" Ultrasound. We may get a 3-D ultasound done too.

Robyn
