HOW DO YOU CELEBRATE LID?

SO HOW DO YOU CELEBRATE FINALLY BEING LID? WELL SHOPPING FOR BABY OF COURSE! EVERY MILESTONE WE HIT WE BUY SOMETHING FOR JADEN. SO TONIGHT WE WENT TO THE MALL AND WENT TO GYMBOREE( I HAD TO SPEND MY GYMBUCKS BEFORE THEY EXPIRED :-) WE GOT JADEN THE CUTEST SKIRT AND ONSIE, AND BARETTES, HEADBAND AND SUNGLASS, WHAT WARDROBE WOULD BE COMPLETE WITH OUT SUNGLASSES? THEN ON TO THE DISNEY STORE TO ADD TWO MORE ANIMALS TO THE COLLECTION! RUSTY WAS GREAT AND DIDNT COMPLAIN THE FIRST TIME. HE DOES WANT IT IN WRITING THAT WE WILL BUY NO MORE STUFFED DISNEY ANIMALS, I SAID OK BUT THEN WHEN WE WERE LEAVING I REALIZED THAT WE DONT HAVE A ROOH OR PIGLET. YOU CANT HAVE COMPLETE DISNEY COLLECTION WITHOUT THEM. I AM SURE I CAN SNEAK THEM IN WITHOUT HIM NOTICING! :-)
HERE ARE THE PICTURES OF OUR LID CELEBRATION PURCHASES!

WE HAVE A LID!!!

WELL WE FINALLY HAVE A LOG IN DATE. TODAY WE GOT THE EMAIL FROM JACK SONG WITH CHINA THAT WE WERE DTC 3/15/2006! THIS MEANS THAT ON THAT DAY OUR DOSSIER WAS LOGGED INTO THE SYSTEM AT CCAA. NOW WE ARE IN LINE TO GET OUR REFERRAL! AND WE EVEN HAVE 2 WEEKS AND 2 DAYS DOWN OF THE WAIT! IT FEELS SO GOOD BEING PREGNANT! AND I DONT EVEN HAVE MORNING SICKNESS!!!

SECRET PAL

I GOT MY SECRET PAL GIFT YESTERDAY FOR THE FEB. DTC GROUP. THIS MONTHS THEME IS BOOKS. I CANT WAIT TO HAVE JADEN HOME SO WE CAN READ HER THESE BOOKS. THANKS SECRET PAL!

REFERRALS!

WELL THE REFERRALS ARE IN! THIS SET WENT FROM 5/26-5/30/05. OUR AGENCY DID NOT HAVE ANYONE LOGGED IN DURING THIS TIME FRAME SO NO GOOD NEWS FROM OUR AGENCY. THERE IS STILL ONE DAY LEFT IN MAY THE 31ST. BY THE TIME THEY GET THEIR REFERRAL IT WILL HAVE TAKEN CCAA 4 MONTHS TO MATCH ONE MONTH OF DOSSIERS! AT THIS RATE WE WILL BE 40 BEFORE WE BRING JADEN HOME!

GO TIGERS!!!

OK I THOUGHT I WOULD CHANGE THE SUBJECT OFF OF ALL OF THE DOOM AND GLOOM OF REFERRALS! TODAY WAS THE ONE DAY THAT RUSTY DIDN'T PULL FOR LSU(THIS WAS A REQUIREMENT WHEN WE GOT MARRIED) BUT HE LIKES DUKE SO HE WAS PULLING FOR HIS TEAM TONIGHT. AND JUST ONCE A YEAR IS OK. BUT HIS TEAM LOST!!! LSU BEAT DUKE! HAHAHA! I GUESS HE WILL LEARN SOONER OR LATER THAT LSU IS THE ONLY TEAM TO ROOT FOR! MAYBE ONE DAY HE WILL BLEED PURPLE AND GOLD LIKE THE REST OF US. WE CAN ONLY HOPE. WE KNOW THAT JADEN WILL BE BROUGHT UP RIGHT KNOWING WHO TO ROOT FOR!




GEAUX TIGERS!!!!!!!

NO WORD ON LID

WELL IT HAS BEEN A MONTH NOW SINCE OUR DOSSIER WAS SENT TO CHINA. WE STILL HAVE NO LID. THIS IS THE STORY OF MY LIFE WAITING... WE WAITED TO START, WAITED FOR I171H, WAITED TO BE DTC AND NOW WE ARE WAITING FOR OUR LID. HOPEFULLY WE ARE ALREADY LOGGED IN AND OUR AGENCY JUST HAS NOT FOUND OUT. MAYBE WE WILL HEAR SOMETHING WITH THE NEXT GROUP OF REFERRALS? WHICH BY THE WAY THE RUMORS ARE SAYING THEY WILL BE OUT NEXT WEEK. THE BAD NEWS IS THAT THEY WILL ONLY COVER 5/26/05-5/30/05! NO ONE KNOWS WHY! IT IS KINDA SCARY. WHY WOUULD IT TAKE CCAA OVER 3 MONTHS JUST TO MATCH 1 MONTH OF DOSSIERS. OF COURSE THIS IS JUST A RUMOR. MAYBE WE WILL FIND OUT FOR SURE NEXT WEEK.

THE NURSERY IS DONE!

WELL THE NURSERY IS DONE. MINUS A FEW LITTLE THINGS LIKE THE BEDDING, CURTAINS,FAN, AND PICTURES. I FINALLY GOT RUSTY TO HANG THE SHELVES. SO HERE ARE SOME PICTURES.

THE LADYBUG DRESS

WELL JUST THOUGHT I WOULD ADD A PICTURE OF THE DRESS WE JUST BOUGHT. I THINK IT IS SO CUTE. THIS IS THE FIRST THING THAT I HAVE BOUGHT NOT ON SALE, AND NO IT DID NOT PUT US IN THE HOLE. :-) I CANT WAIT TO HAVE HER PICTURE TAKEN IN THIS DRESS. IN THE ADOPTION COMMUNITY LADYBUGS ARE A SIGN OF GOODLUCK. THEY SAY WHEN YOU SEE LADYBUGS THE REFERRALS ARE COMING. BRING ON THE LADY BUGS!

REFERRALS!

OK I HAVE DECIDED THAT I WILL PUT THE REFERRALS THAT COME IN EVERY MONTH TO KINDA HELP FIGURE OUT WHEN WE MAY GET OURS. AND TO ADD A LITTLE GOOD NEWS EVERYMONTH. SO HERE WE GO.
CCAI RECEIVED 114 REFERRALS ON 2/28/06. THIS INCLUDED 2 SETS OF TWINS! REFERRALS WERE FOR FAMILYS WHO HAD A LID BETWEEN MAY 13-MAY 25, 2005! SO THERE YOU GO. HOPEFULLY NEXT TIME THE REFERRALS WE BE FOR A WHOLE MONTH. IF NOT I FIGURE WE WILL BE 80 BEFORE WE GET JADEN. :-)
