Referral Day!

Wow, I sure got in trouble for not sharing more info yesterday hehe. For those of you who have not heard, our agency requires that we don't post pictures, names or personal info about the child until he is home, so this will be fairly limited. We will share what we can so here you go. After six days short of six months on the waiting list we finally got to see our baby. Baby "M" is a beautiful 2 month old baby boy. He is so sweet and we were blessed with having 40+ pictures of him. Julie says he has a very unique story, which we are going to keep private. He is healthy, and all his measurements are very good! We feel so lucky to have photos of him from when he was only a few days old. I can't wait for the travel group to take updated pics for us.




Here is how my day went...perfect!

We woke up and had a chiropractor appointment. It was an AMAZINGLY beautiful fall day out side! It has been kind of cloudy and icky before and now today, but for one shining day it was gorgeous. So in honor of the beautiful day I decided to take my daughter to the park and have a picnic lunch with my husband. We got burritos and went to a park near J's work. We ate and played and had a great time. When J's lunch was over he said he had to get back to work, but if he finished up some projects for next week he could get off early. So hearing this I shooed him back to work to hurry up and get done:) Well, I was about ready to pack up and come home but my daughter said "NO, not yet mommy!" So I thought "well, we should stay and enjoy the day more." We did, and not 20 minutes later I hear my phone singing "Africa" by Toto. I think my brain froze so I had to look at the caller ID to see if it was really who I thought it was and sure enough it was! I answered and Julie said I have a little boy to talk to you about. I think my voice got a few pitches higher and I said "Really, I'm so excited!" (they must hear the dumbest things from us moms in that moment ha) So she told me all about him and I tried to take it all in while forming 100s of questions in my mind. After the conversation was over I told A "you are a big sister today" she said quite matter-of-factly, "Yeah, I am" silly girl. So I hung up, called J and left the park right away. J got off work and ended up right behind me in traffic. We were about 15 mins from home but traffic was TERRIBLE! I tried to be patient and finally we made it home and dashed into the house. We spent the whole afternoon looking at pictures, calling friends and family, emailing like crazy and getting in contact with our adoption pediatrician. We had our date night all set up so I got ready as fast as I could and we headed out to celebrate. We had a great dinner of salad and clam chowder. and then we went to a coffee house for dessert and sat and chatted for a while. We were going to bowl but it was league night :( We had a great time! Since we don't have family up here we are going to have a celebration party next Friday I think with friends up here. Any of you CO folk are welcome too!

Thanks for all the congrats we received! It is so nice to have support of good friends, family, and blog stalkers :)
