They're gone. . . . .

The tonsils that is! Sabrina had her tonsils removed yesterday. My oh my what a quick procedure it is now. Even though she goes home the same day, it is still considered major surgery, which is part of the reason I am up right now. She is eating a popcicle and having a glass of ice cold tea. The more fluids you drink the faster you heal. This is going to be a long 10-14 days. At least the hard part is over and now we can focus on her healing. On another note, there were no travel groups announced for my agency this week. I was so bummed as I am sure the other waiting parents were. The way I figure it there are about 28 families in front of us to travel so the sooner they get dates . . . . .you got it - the sooner I get one!!!!!! Off to take care of Sabrina - good night!

Hanging on.....

Well I am still hanging on during the "wait to travel". I did receive 2 new pictures of "B" from our agency, along with measurements. During her first month at the Ab home, she gained 4 pounds!!! Each day I look at her pictures and tell her soon I will be there to bring you home. My agency had 15 referrals last week so hopefully we'll hear some good news for folks waiting to travel in front of us. I'm still holding on to the hope that I can be in Ethiopia in May and hold my new daughter in my arms for the first time.

Crossing My Fingers

I am crossing my fingers today for some new pictures and/or updates of any kind with regard to our little princess waiting for us so many miles away. Our case manager returns to the office tomorrow after a week in Ethio. So if you don't mine, cross your fingers with me for some wonderful good news!!!!!!!!!
