The Countdown

Holy Smokes!  I just realized in LESS THAN 6 WEEKS!  I'll be traveling to China to bring home our baby girl!  SIX WEEKS!  I'm so Not Ready!  we had a contractor showdown and he won... he walked off the job!  so now we've been scrambling to get the kids' bathroom done, so that we can finish the girls' bedroom, so that i can finally see just how much i have... or don't have for Dylan.   Getting stressed just thinking about it.  Breathe.... breathe... BREATH.  no time for panicking!

This will be a whole new child experience for me too.  which probably adds to the anxiety.  So far I've escaped the poopy diapers, the formula, cleaning baby bottles, potty training adventure.  Not anymore!  How we went from requesting an OLDER child and being told, due to Jeff's age, we'd have to adopt an older child, to miraculously receiving a referral for a tiny 22 month peapod -- is beyond me!  Add to that that Dylan's SN is cleft palate... basically a NON special need when you think about it.  Are we lucky?  are we fortunate?  who knows!  I'm just dying to bring her home!
