We're Back!!

We're back from our cruise! It was great and we had beautiful weather. The day we were in Belize, it was 100 degrees! We had a lot of fun and it was so nice to get away. I haven't gone through my pictures yet but I'm hoping I got some good ones.

The agency got our family profile and APQ on Monday. It was only mailed on Saturday! We came back to a message waiting for us that we have been assigned an "Adoption Specialist" through the rest of the process, all the way until we finalize the adoption. We have a conference with her on Thursday. I hope she will help me get over my fear of not being chosen by a birthmom. The design company is working on our digital profile and I hope to get a proof from that by the end of the week. Our agency has to approve our profile but after that, we are officially waiting! I can't believe it!!

I didn't buy a single baby thing on vacation! Mostly because everything we saw was very boy-ish or very girl-ish. Mexico and Belize had the cutest sundresses with smiling sunflowers but I didn't dare buy one. I told Bill it would be the surest way for us to get a boy!

I did have the aquarium baby swing on order and it wasn't supposed to ship until the end of February. What did I find at my front door yesterday? A wet box containing a baby swing! The swing is fine, the box was trashed so we HAD to put it together!! Biscuit and Harley were very suspicious of it sitting in the family room. They have no idea what their lives are going to be like.... Bill said we are definately decorating the nursery in the "Under the Sea" theme after all our snorkeling.

I'll have to give some detailed information about our cruise and post some pictures. I really didn't sleep well for the whole week because I didn't have my pillow and the mattress was a little hard for me so I'm very tired. I'm glad to have Biscuit back with me too! I missed her and Harley!!
