UPDATE WITH PHOTOS
We leave in 6 days! After 1 year and 9 months we are down to just 6 days. It feels surreal. I have been busy trying to get everything done. Checking everything off of my to do or pack lists. I can't tell you how many times I have gone over these lists. As I have been trying to pack there have been some unknowns. Is Megan potty train? On a bottle? Does she sleep in a crib? Is she walking? How big is she? These answers would be helpful to know what I should pack. a friend gave me a link to a website a while ago. I figured it would be to much so dismissed it. Since I was stressing Chris told me to just go ahead and do it if it would help me out. I went to the site and the cost was not what I was expecting. It was very inexpensive so we did it. They place a call to the orphanage to get her height, weight, head circum., foot length, and #of teeth. On top of that info we can ask 10 additional questions. On the website they mention that about 85-90% of the phone calls come back with photos. I was not holding my breath since the phone call was placed this past Sunday night. This morning when I checked email there was Megan's info plus PICTURES. Megan is crawling mostly, but can walk while holding onto someone. She is 2 and 1/2 feet tall, weighs 22 lbs. and has 16 teeth. She is not potty trained (we kind of expected that) and she eats formula with cereal mixed in. I can not wait to be able to hold our little girl in less than 2 weeks (September 21)See you soon sweet daughter!!!
Tamra - this is all so exciting to read. so much has happened to you and your family since the college days when we used to hang out. It's neat to see what God is doing in your family. I was glad to see your blog and read what's going on. Thanks for sharing it.
ReplyDeleteLook at her! I love the red dress on her. Can't wait to see her little personality!
ReplyDeleteOH MY GOODNESS Tamra!!! What a little doll~! I am so happy you went for it and got the updated info and the added bonus of some pictures! You are SO close now- next week at this time you will be on a plane to the other side of the world!!! YAY!!!
ReplyDeleteAhhhh...She is SO precious! God is so good to give "sneak-peeks". I know this is what you were praying for. Now you can be more confident in your packing! Can't wait to hear more, and we all look forward to seeing that first "blessed mommy" picture. We will be praying for your whole family.
