Chrissy.... I am glad that they have given you a time frame. I know that these last few weeks have been hard on you, I hope knowing that Kira will be home within four weeks brings comfort to you. Use this time to rest and prepare for baby, maybe even start a journal expressing how you feel and all you went thought to have Kira, then when Kira is older you can give it to her as a gift, that would mean so much to her.

Hey girls, I didn't get a chance to catch up completely, only to page 11, b/c my stinkin' time on this cpu is almost gone...so quick update and attached message is copied from other boards, so I guess only Chrissy needs to read it...ha!
Chrissy- I'm so excited for you! I would also switch her to formula. My baby is taking the Walmart brand called Parents choice with DHA and ARA or something like that? Her Dr. said it is just as good as Similac and Enfamil, but it costs about half as much ($11 a can instead of $20). I hope it works for you. Milissa- I love the coconut flavor too!
Jacque- I'm sorry but also haoppyt that you are sick. It means healthy bayb!
Sorrty, no time to fix typos, computer is shutting down on me. Bye girls, Abriyel turned 4 months old today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CAn you even believe it? She is so stinking adorable, and everywhere we go people stop us to goo goo and ga ga over her incredible amount of thick, black bouncing curls. She is a beautiful baby. I can't even wait to show her off with new, updated photos, but it will be awhile, at least until I can get my own computer. She has her 4 month checkup this Thursday, and I'm guessing she'll weigh in at around 18 pounds! She's HUGE! She can already wear 6-9 month clothes! That is crazy for me, b/c Yesenia was off the charts b/c she was so tiny. Abri is an eating machine...now eating rice and oatmeal, carrots, peas, applesauce and bananas. I feed her twice a day, along with her milk. She's a major momma's girl now, and I just love it. She cracks up laughing, can roll over both from tummy to back and back to tummy...and for that reason, she is now sleeping on her tummy, a fact that makes momma very nervous. She throws a massive fit though, until I put her on her tummy, b/c in the middle of the night I guess she's too lazy to roll her self over, so now we're just giving in and putting her there to begin with. She has also been standing...can you believe this one....if we hold her fingers, she can stand for a LONG time and she holds all her own weight. My guess is that she'll be walking by 8 months. Yesi didn't walk until 14 months, but talked very early. Abri and Yesi are polar opposites in everything, exept looks. I swear, it looks like I went back and had the same baby again. I will have to post baby pics of Yesi too, so you can see what I"m talking about. I'm doing alright too. I've decided to go ahead and start Nutrisystem after all. I'm starting at the end of the month, and I can't wait! I'm hoping to lose between 75-85 pounds in about a year. I thing it's doable. What do you think? Alishya

goodmorning! well not a word, nothing! we did drop off our final paperwork monday, so hopefully this willl speed things up though every time they have said it is our final paperwork soemthing else comes,lol......as for me being mia, it is so hot where our computer is i cant bear to come on for even a few seconds, it is upstairs when our airconsitioning is downstairs. other then that nothing much going on, all is good, doing some house things, we had to get a new crib and set it up there was a recall on the first one we got, I am glad i caught that in time! so now Kira's room is complete! her wardrobe is still growing, hahahaha. my aunt gave me a littlew coat and hat that was given to my little cousins by my grandpa who passed away a few years ago, so i cleaned it and saved it for Kira as a sentimental gift! i went to obgyn last week, he gave me a bunch of meds for my endo. i have some months i am ok, some i am miserable, and nothing helps, so he gave me med's for cramps, migraines, a patch to fluctuate my estrigen and hormones, and for the nausea i get! though he did say all is good thank God! other then that Thank God everything is well!!!!!I have a lifebook/scrapbook, i write to and glue memories of this process in for Kira every night i go in her room, sit in my rocking chair and write her.....i put some great stuff: some adoption paperwork, first pics we got, her foster mom, a map of korea, all her shower gifts and info. a plant we have in our yard for her that is the plant of korea, so a pic of that, info on family and friends, and a page with little airplanes and american flags ready for the airport photos! well be back in a bit!!!xoxoxo chrissy

Chrissy: I love all of the things you are doing to give to Kira, the coat is great... but the scrap book is even better. I think that you are soooo kind, and that you are going to be such a great mommy! I just know that if you put your heart this much into preparing for her arrival, that your love is just going to increase 10 fold (if that is even possible) when she arrives!!! --- How are the meds going for your endo. I wish you did not have to go though all of this medical mumbo jumbo, but at least they have medication that can help. I pray that it all gets under control, and within a few years you get a BFP and Kira will be a big sister! --- Well, it is 3 am and I feel like crap, I am going to try to finish catching up and then I am going to head to bed. I LOVE being pregnant more then anything, but part of me is really excited for the first trimester to be over! Then hopefully I will feel better and be able to relax a bit more! Jacque

Kira is coming home! I could not be happier!!! I have tears running down my face and I am so excited that I just about woke Mike up to tell him, good thing I didn't because it is before 5 am here. I just wanted to stop in after my early morning pee to see if anything exciting happened yesterday, and I am so glad I did. I pray the next 2 days go by really fast for you. I cannot wait to see the coming home photos!!!!
