Our adoption: Week 18

How Far Along: 18 weeks

How I'm feeling: a little stressed
Gender: a SON
Total of bills so far: $11,685.71

(You can see what bills we've paid in the sidebar.)
Total money raised: $3102.26

Favorite moments: I called on Monday to see if our case had been assigned to an officer - nope.  Phil said on Tuesday that he thought that was the special day.  I called on Wednesday and NOT ONLY HAD WE BEEN ASSIGNED AN OFFICER BUT OUR CASE WAS APPROVED THAT MORNING!  We are approved - one approval down and one to go!!!!  Wednesday, then, we hussled up and finished our dossier paperwork and sent it to our social worker.  It arrived on this morning.  

Things learned:  That if getting 797 approval makes me scream and freak out with excitement and joy, getting our Letter of Acceptance from China may make me have to run up and down our block cheering!  I don't know how I'll be able to contain myself!!!
What I am looking forward to: This is the week of the Pancake Breakfast.  I'm really looking forward to DTC (Dossier to China) which should be in 2-3 weeks.  Our dossier has to be certified and authenticated now.  

Special Request: Pray for good weather and a great turn-out for our pancake breakfast!  Please pray that it runs smoothly and that there are no glitches (and that I don't forget anything!)
