Have I mentioned...

That we received updated pictures of our peanut a few weeks ago?  I wish I could show the entire photo but I can't, so here's a smidge...

She doesn't look like a baby anymore - she's growing up!  And she's walking and continuing to get great care and therapy until we can get to China.  

Have I also mentioned that I think we may have decided on a name?  I'm not 100% sure so I'm not going to post it yet.  I like how it sounds with Ava and Amelia, and I like the name by itself, I'm just not sure it fits her.  And it might sound a little bit trendy.  (Of course Ava and Amelia's names have become trendy - not so when I named them - but it may fit in after all!)  We shall see...


We are currently waiting for our homestudy to be approved (it's been achingly slow) and then we will submit our I-800a to immigration.  Then we will wait for our fingerprint appointment and once we have that and it is cleared, then we can send our dossier to China.  I was just SURE we'd have that done by the end of the year but now I'm hoping it's before the end of January!  At times the wait is really hard and other times, I think because we've been through it before and I've been praying like crazy so the Lord is giving me peace, the wait is okay.  If all the approvals come (because nothing is guaranteed) we will get her on His timetable.  Not mine.  And that is a big relief!
