Another Specialist Visit Today

Today is the appointment with the pediactric allergist/pulmonary specialist. I never know what to expect at specialist appointments so it makes me a bit nervous. I'll update after the appointment. Bethany has been coughing a bit the past few days and had a runny nose yesterday. I so wanted her to just be better, so that made me very sad. Hopefully all these specialists can help us.

Still in the waiting phase of adoption paperwork. But they have our papers and our money so it shouldn't be too long before they make their way to China.


Here's some pics for you today:


It's been cold here in FL. Bethy's play sink keeps freezing! I love it!


Here's me about to send off our dossier. If it looks like I'm terrified, it's because I am:


Here's a picture of my cutie all decked out for Christmas. We lit the advent candle at church that morning:

We knew all weeked that the new list was coming out on Monday night. I got more and more nervous as we got closer. By Tuesday morning, I was popping the pepto bismal chewables-heartburn which I have only had one other time (at the end of my pregnancy). There was no guarantee we would even receive a referral off the list, but we were hopeful. Tuesday morning I took Bethany to church for mother's morning out, nervously bought soap and 75% of Valentine's conversaion hearts at Target, and then I went to Panera and got a fruit punch. I set up my laptop, put my phone on the table, and nervously surfed the web until I couldn't handle it anymore. The wait was getting to me. I headed out of Panera and spilled my drink all over the place. Smooth one Katie. I got in my car and headed to the beach. Didn't get very far.....my phone rang......."Holt"........ I pulled over and it was THE call! 11:00am on February 22 Caleb became part of our family. We proudly introduce you...
