Picture woes

We are having picture issues. First of all, adding pictures to the blog has not been going so well. Everytime I go to add pictures, I get the "spinning candy" ,as I call it (that's the technical term folks. . . hope you can keep up with my highly technical computer lingo). I wait and wait for the pic to download, and then get bored and move on to something else. Maybe one of these days, I will actually be patient enough to download the pictures.:)

Also, along the picture train of thought, I am in the process of getting pictures together for the dossier. I know that this doesn't sound like a difficult task, but it is proving to be. I take TONS of pictures. Really, you should see the number of photo albums that I have. And yet I am having a hard time coming up with pictures of everyone. This difficulty is due in part that my DH's side of the family is HUGE and we are limited in the number of photos we can send in. So I am trying to track down pictures that have as many family members in them as possible. Also, adding to the difficulty is the fact that my sister has not taken a picture in years.

In general, DH and I are thrilled with the dossier process (not really). First of all, how fun to get medical forms completed AGAIN, and fingerprints completed AGAIN. My sister never understood why my agency asked for that stuff when we turned in the application. Now I understand because all that stuff is going to be too old for the dossier, so we have to get them done for a second time. Also, we are both a bit stressed about the check that gets mailed in with the dossier. We just wrote a really big check and very soon we will be writing another even bigger check. Gulp!

Forgot my password

So I went to login tonight and realized that I had forgotten my password. . .could that mean that I am being super slack about blogging? That is exactly what it means!

The notarized homestudy came in the mail and looks good. We also sent in the first of the big ole checks, so we are now waiting on the dossier packet. I am ready to get it all done so that we can be on the waiting list for a baby!:)

Speaking of babies, my friend Deb just had her little girl. She is so cute and perfect. I am so happy for Deb b/c she is one of my infertility buddies. She waited a long time, and went through a lot, for this little gift from heaven.:)

I know that blogs without pics are boring, so now I am going to try to add some pics. Wish me luck!



Success. . . here's a pic of Deb's beautiful baby girl!

Fingerprint appt

Hubby and I travel to Charlotte day after tomorrow for our fingerprint appt. Also we received an email stating that our homestudy report should be coming to us for our approval any day now. So I guess we are on our way. I am already getting impatient. I have a feeling that I am going to be very bad at this waiting thing. I keep reading blogs about families who have been waiting two years for their babies. AGHH! And I am so worried about Vietnam closing. It was closed for several years and only just reopened in 2006. I hope it doesn't close again!
On other topics, Christmas was lovely although very busy. Yesterday we took down Christmas decorations and today we have to tackle the tree. The taking down part is just no fun! I will try to figure out how to post pics from Christmas.



The adorable nieces on Christmas!
