TA!!
We got it!!! Not completely set in stone but we will know more on Monday. I was at work when the call came through right before lunch and of course it made it really hard to focus on work. My husband was bike riding and I couldn't contact him. I finally was able to talk with him after lunch. We are both over the moon excited!! We will finally be able to meet our baby girl!
This evening we have a visitor, nephew #1 is here to stay with us. We are so happy to have him here with us this weekend!

Busy! Busy! Busy!
We have had several rounds of paperwork to complete. The first was about 30 pages to read and submit about 10 pages completed paperwork. The second round was about 40 pages to read and at least 20 pages to complete. The third is at your leisure pace and we are working on it.
We have had doctors appointments to check us all out ok to travel. We also have our prescriptions, just in case we were to get sick. We even have meds for our baby girl.
A very dear friend of mine so bravely came with me on a shopping for travel items trip. The list was a long one, but I almost have everything on the list. There were a couple things we couldn't find, measuring cup from ml to tsp, plastic pants for a 8 month old, and something else that I cannot think of right now. We had alot of fun in the Carter's Outlet Store. We got several warm cozy sleeper and a few lighter weight ones. I figure the weather will still be somewhat cold when we get back and also we keep it pretty cold here in our house and also at the lake, so we are going to need some warm sleepers. And the good thing is that they are clearanced right now. My dear friend is all about the zebra print, it is their style. So we found the cutest zebra print with burnt orange color outfit and my friend bought it for the baby. It is absolutely darling and I can't wait to try it on her and see how she likes it! The baby also got a swimsuit and cover up, I was told we will have a chance to go to the swimming pool while traveling and swimming is great bonding time. So if figure we are going to need the suit.
We are working on a care package to send to Long Shi Yue. My husband is making the box to ship the items in. Since that is his line of business, he is making one with pictures of us and her all over the box. I have been emailing Anna at the Red Thread China to find out about how to go about doing this, and she has been more than helpful so far.
We have celebrated #1 and #3 nephew's Birthday's and this weekend we are celebrating nephew #2 Birthday.
We are so thankful that we have been so busy and the time is flying by. I think by next week we should hear something about our travel approval. Fingers crossed!!

It's an Eye Thing
So funny, for the last 7 months I have been having problems with my left eye and face rashes. I have came to the conclusion that it is even better if I don't wear makeup. When I do the rash really flairs up. I have always been the one to always wear makeup too, and if I don't I feel really bare without it. So not to wear makeup is really hard thing for me to do, but lately if I don't have to deal with the pain of the rash then all is ok. I have gone to the dermatologist several times and we have switched alot of the stuff around and still no outcome. Well at the same time half way around the world my beautiful baby girl is suffering with some sort of left eye situation too. The international medical doctor told us since her pictures were taken when she was 4 months old and she is now 7 1/2 months old the eye thing should be cleared up by now. We paid to have an update of information for her which will give us current information, and we will see at that time about her eye. If it is not cleared up we can work with the international medical doctor to get medicine for her when we arrive to get her.
