All Quiet on the Adoption Front?

In one word, no. Or maybe busy. We are in the preparation stage for going to get Yiah, and have been so busy that our blog has fallen to the side. So just a quick update of what we have been up to.

We hopefully finished our "baby preperation" shopping getting bottles and bibs and diapers.... you get the idea. I think the people at Babies-R-Us got annoyed with us checking out 3 times, but oh well!

Christmas was hard. Its weird that we have never met Yedidiya but we missed him incredibly. Our families were great and supportive. They also blessed us with many gifts with Yiah's name on them. We made them save some for him to open when he gets home.

At our house we have been going through the packing process. We have one suitcase full up of donations, and enough clothes for Yiah to fill 2 more (maybe not quite!!!). In picking out outfits to take we always think that is so cute, we gotta take it. Well needless to say, we had a little much.

Our house is about ready to go. I am putting the finishing touches on a cabinet to store all of his bottles and formula and such, and if you have seen our house you know we have everything else! Or as my Dad would say, two of everything!

We got an update yesterday on Yedidiya's height and weight, and he is up to 19 lbs!!! YIKES! That puts him in the 75th percentile for babies his age! That changed some of the outfits we were planning on taking!

Otherwise, we leave in 16 days, and will hold him for the first time in 19 days! Thank you all again for your support and we can't wait to introduce you to him!
