She's So Cute!

If you're not my friend on Facebook, you missed the BABY PICTURES that I posted earlier. So in the off chance that you did, check this out!

Isn't she darling? I showed Cassidy and she said "Oh no, she's sick." She's already so concerned so I said that's why we're going to get her soon, to help her get all better.

So, to backtrack, I talked with our agency again today. They gave me the number of the hospital and said I could call and talk to the nurses. They also went over the fees and other info and said we can come anytime! What I wasn't expecting was the length of stay. I was originally told 2 weeks but because she'll still be in the hospital for some time yet, we need to stay 6 weeks. I'm not sure how I feel about that. On the one hand- six weeks in Vegas? Where it's hot? Yes please! On the other- that's more money for food, accommodations, all the stuff we need to live. But we are able to afford the agency fees (barely) and we'll make do with the rest. God has brought this baby into our lives and by His grace we'll figure it out. Because LOOK AT HER! Seriously. That chin!

I was able to talk to her nurse for quite a while and she filled me in on everything. Bottom line, she is doing very very well and everyone has fallen in love with her. It sounds like she's getting fantastic care and I am so thankful for that. I can't wait to start bonding with her!

So please pray for us as we make plans. My parents will be driving down with us for the first week and they are letting us keep their SUV, which will be so nice. I am so thankful for their help. Our house and dog are going to be well looked after, and John's dad is going to fill in for him at work. Everything else, well, it'll have to go on without us, which I'm sure it will just fine. I wonder if I'll get homesick, or maybe I'll like Vegas so much I'll never want to leave! I will post lots of pictures (mostly for the sake of the grandparents, who I know are going to go through Cassidy withdrawl) and keep everyone updated regularly. We plan to leave this weekend sometime.

I can't believe this is actually happening!
