Our Adoption: Week 31

How Far Along: 31 weeks 

How I'm feeling: Nesting... does that word even begin to describe the amount of stuff I want to accomplish, like yesterday?
Gender: a little boy
Total of bills so far: $14,038.96

(You can see what bills we've paid in the sidebar.)
Total money raised: $18482.64

Favorite Moments: We got our Letter of Approval!  It felt amazing to hold it.  It looks so official - I took a ton of pictures!  Oh and we went to Build-a-bear and made Sammy a Monkey with Mama's and Daddy's voices in the paws.

Things learned:  That God is continuing to do immeasurably more than we could ask or imagine!  The husband of the co-worker of my mother-in-law is going to China and is going to take the care package for us!  Saves a TON on shipping and the stress of trying get the package cleared through customs!  AND the co-worker is helping me translate a letter to Sammy's nannies!  This is just so much more than we could have asked for from the Lord!  He's thought of everything - HA!
What we're waiting for:  uh... I don't even know... I'll have to look up what document comes next.  I think we have to get I800 approval and we need to apply for our visas.  Actually, we found out that I need to apply for a visa, but Phil can keep the visa he has!  That is at least $150 savings!

What I am looking forward to:  Sending Sammy a care package!
