Finally~~It's official!!

Ultrasound

We can now officially say that we are "pregnant"!!  No, not in the traditional sense, but we are definitely expecting!  We received confirmation today of our official Log In Date (LID) ~~ 09/07/07.  Very exciting!!  This date is the one we will live, eat, and breathe now.  It is what China bases everything on, and represents our place "in line" to receive the referral of our daughter.  This is what we have been waiting for...  After all the gathering of paperwork and fine tuning each detail, this is the place where we can breathe a little.  Now there is nothing more that we have control over ~ which I can assure you is both annoying and very freeing.  This now becomes an exercise in patience and faith.  I do pretty well in the faith department since I know God is orchestrating the whole thing anyway, but, for those of you who know me well, PATIENT I AM NOT!!!!  The current wait time for a referral is at 21 months and climbing.  When we looked into this process, it was a wait time of 12-14 months.  This will definitely be a growth period for me, and a time to dive into a LOT of projects around the house to occupy my time!  :)  More on that will surely follow...  We covet your prayers!
