In the waiting line....


So Chris and I have FINALLY completed all of the documents needed for the AAI program. The next step is that our program director, Liz, will begin to send in our applications to programs and send out our profiles. Our profile is a 20 page book that we made that has a lot of pictures and talks about who we are and who we hope to be as parents. So, things could move at the speed of light and we could get picked soon, or we wait a few months and hear something then.

I have officially been nesting this summer, and have painted the baby's room a light blue color (Thanks mom for the help), got a glider, a crib and a dresser. Things left to do are curtains, accessories, put up a bookshelf, and to add Molly's paintings. If I hadn't have lost my camera battery, I would post a picture, maybe I'll fix that soon with all of my free time.

We're working on names for both boy and girl. Olivia belongs to our Chinese daughter (if this ever happens) so we have a few ideas that we're kicking around.

Big things I still need to work on are doing more stroller research, finding a pediatrician (maybe someone who has adoption medicine background), finishing reading 100 books about raising an adopted child, and starting to get ready to draw up our wills, etc. We are working on finding a financial advisor to help us get ourselves together. That is if we have any money left after the world's economy tanks. But whatever.

That is it for now!
