Update Since our Referral......

Lots have happened in the last couple of weeks.

  • We have formally accepted our referral. (No surprise there) Katy is one step closer to us. I think about her at least 500 times a day. I have been carrying her pictures around and look at them whenever i am having a bad day, or pretty much every minute. It instantly puts me in a good mood.
  • My wonderful friends threw me the best baby shower. We received some of the cutest outfits, and alot of things from my registry. I had been waiting along time for that day, and when it was here, it exceeded my expectations. I will post some pictures very soon.
  • The nursery is almost done. Just have to get a mattress and bedding and it will be ready. I have also started my packing list. Still have more shopping to do.
  • It looks like we may be traveling some time in July. I am getting really excited about that. It doesn't seem that faraway anymore. We have actually started planning our life around Katy. Invitations to parties and events, holidays, vacations. The list goes on and on, and it is fun to think we will be celebrating life's events with our little girl.
  • I have celebrated my first Mother's Day. It was a little bittersweet to not have my Katy with me, but Dave made it feel very special. He bought me a beautiful card, and gave me a digital photo frame. I already loaded it with my 3 pictures of Katy and can stare at it all day if i want.
  • Also, did anyone catch the last episode of The King of Queens? I really was disappointed with it. (Spoiler Alert) They ended the series with Doug and Carrie adopting a baby from China. The thing is, it was so not right. In the next to last episode, they decided to adopt a baby, then last night they get a call from thier Social worker that there is a baby they have been matched with. This all was supposed to happen in three week time. Also, they automatically sent the picture to them via her blackberry. The baby was only 4 days old, and they flew to Beijing the next day to pick her up. WHAT??? Now i know it is a TV series, but they couldn't do a little research. I think they should have at least made it seem a little real. Anyway, just wondering if anyone else caught that episode.

That is all for now. More updates later.

I saw the King of Queens also! Totally unrealistic but I guess it is just a sitcom! I was laughing saying if only it were THAT EASY! Whatever... I am so totally excited to travel I just can't wait for it to get here! I am glad you had a nice shower! We are looking forward to seeing everyone on Saturday!

Oh I caught that episode and was fuming mad about it. I am in protective mama mode and anytime the adoption topic comes up, my little antenna go up and I am on alert. I too was sad that they couldnt take the effort to at least make is even plausible or semi-plausible. Of course, anyone in the IA realm knows it was totally far-fetched but still...I found it crass and annoying. And for the LAST episode ever? yeah...total letdown. Rich and I joke that we are the Heffernans!

I agree about the "King of Queens". It was horrible and the stereotypes were the worst! Congratulations on your referral!

Oh I hated that episode of the King of Queens. I was in the family room screaming "that is NOT how it happens" Clearly they did not research for the episode.

Not to mention she gets PG the second the adopt.
