Thank you doesn't seem to cover it....

Thank you everyone for your support, excitement, tears, laughter and gifts for our beautiful Oliver. We are absolutely overwhelmed by your kindness!

Our mail box has been a constant source of delight over the last few weeks as everything from gorgeous little socks to hand-made quilts, to ring slings to carry Oliver around in, to books and scrapbooking supplies have found their way to us. We have also been inundated with good wishes and gorgeous gifts from the beautiful staff at P's work who gathered with us for afternoon tea today.

This little boy is magic - can't you just feel it?!!

8 Months

8 months ago, my darling little boy came in to the world. The day that we have been given as his birth date was warm and sunny in Southern China.

Half way around the world, I was struggling with a cold and working on my presentation for the Adoption Conference I was speaking at later in the month. P was working during the day, and was pretty busy. In the evening we watched the DVD "P.S. I Love You". I cried all through the movie....

There is not a lot I remember specifically about the day itself, but I do remember watching that movie and then not wanting to stop hugging P that night. I'm glad I can remember at least something from that day....

No News is Not Good News

Still no word on the NTT.....the longer it takes, the less chance of meeting Oliver on the 13th of April....the 20th of April is now looking far more likely. Please God don't let it be any later than that, I don't think I could stand it.

Every day is seeming like a week....

On a brighter note, I met up with some beautiful girls today at one of my batch buddy's baby showers - it was just beautiful. Some of you will know that P and I have been blessed with some wonderful people in our batch - we are very close to 2 of the couples and feel so lucky to be sharing this journey with them.

Hope everyone's week is going well. I am feeling quite exhausted so will sign off and attempt to sort out the house a bit before getting dinner ready for my darling (exhausted, overwhelmed, insanely overworked) husband. P finishes work on Friday and has about 3 months' work to get done in the next 3 days....poor boy.....

Love,

Go NTT Go Go Go!!!!!!

C'mon China, you can do it - get that NTT to us ASAP!!!

To Leave Comments

Hi everyone,
A few people have been asking how to leave comments on the blog - it's really easy once you know how...

At the end of each post there is a link that says "1 comment" or "0 comments" etc, just click on that link and the comments page will load...you can then either read other people's comments, or leave your own. You can comment anonymously (ie you don't have to have a blogger account).

I have set the comments to "moderated" which means they won't show up until I have approved them - this is to stop nasty spam, and to make sure that only our initials end up on the blog, not full names :- )

Hope you all have a wonderful weeked.....my list for this weekend includes:
-Work (Private practice)
-Getting paint for Ollie's room
-Painting Ollie's Room
-Collecting P's new sexy camera and lens
-Stopping myself from playing with said camer and lens until P gets home from work
-Weeding the garden
-Grocery shopping
-Buying gifts for the orphanage director and nannies
-Visiting a friend's son who just broke his arm - delivering a really cool looking Xbox game to him
-cleaning the house

Just another day really!! Argh!!!
