LONO: check
We received a copy of our "Letter of No Objection" today from the B.C. government. So we now know that the B.C. government does not object to mike and I adopting. Yeah! We actually knew this a year ago after we passed our homestudy but our agency waits till after court to issue the letter.
We are still waiting on the passport. Once that happens (still hoping for this week) we will wait for visa. This could take anywhere from 2-8 weeks..... but lately it has been fast. I can't believe we could be traveling so soon. In some ways things are feeling more real (I've started having nightmares of leaving Moses unattended because I forget I have a baby) and in other ways I feel ultra calm. Almost like I don't really believe it yet. I could be holding him very soon? Really? Really?
We still have tons of things to do to get ready. We just finished tiling our bathroom so now we can remove all the tiling material and the toilet out of the babies room. There is lots to be done! Clothes to be washed, diapers to be washed, and many more things to buy.

Things seem to be moving so quickly now! We are so excited for you!
I remember having nightmares about leaving Livi face down on a soft couch while I was still pregnant and after she was born and I was so sleep deprived I literally would double check the car seat to make sure I had really put her in it and brought her with me. (Honestly, occasionally I still have the same panic attacks and double check...)
Wow, you will be going to E so soon!!! How exciting :)
You lucky ducks!! Everything is rocking and rolling so smoothly and quickly for you, that's great!!
Wow! I know you've been waiting forever, but this is happening so quickly suddenly! As with Jilly, if you need ANYTHING, let me know. I'm getting good at washing and folding baby clothes ...
I laughed out loud with your comment about leaving Moses unattended because you forgot you had a kid. It's happened to me a few different times! I think it must be common.
When we first came home I would forget that she was already home while she was napping ...
Once we were playing outside with all our neighbours and she fell and started crying and I was wondering when the poor kids parent was going to pick them up ... oops!
You'll do fine, kids are loud and like to remind you of their presence.
Hi Emily,
What kinds of things do you need for Moses? I have a bouncy seat and a bumbo seat you could borrow if you like, and two kinds of Baby Bjorns...
I'd also like to get Moses a baby gift - are you having a shower before or after? What do you need for him?
I'm so excited for you!
