Parenting is like the stock market. You invest a lot with very little return sometimes. When you do hit, however, you hit big with greater returns that you'd hoped for.--Mamma

WE'RE NEXT, WE'RE NEXT, WE'RE NEXT, WE'RE NEXT!!!!!!!!!!


I'm beside myself with joy this morning as I announce that, unless a major problem occurs, we are N-E-X-T!!! The July referrals have been released and they go from November 8 through 14. That means our baby, with her log in date of November 18 (my favorite Uncle's birthday), should be in the next batch. Yes, hopefully some time in the next four-six weeks, we should have a photo of our daughter in hand, on the blog and forever burned in our hearts.

Needless to say, I haven't slept without the aid of medicine for the past week as I've waited for the CCAA announcement to make it all final (see left) and they surprised me with a fast posting this morning.

Last night I printed out our "Things to take to China" list and I can't believe that I can now finally start buying things for our trip and for our baby. I can get that car seat, after all! I can get that baby soap! I can get that baby carrier! I can buy everything but diapers and clothes since that will have to wait until we know more about our daughter and her size/age, etc.

Whew! I can't believe it all. Daddy and Mommy Pumpkin are now within weeks of parenthood....W-O-W!!!

Thank you, Made in China. We are very excited and counting the days. Have you already gotten your referral? If not, what is your LID?
