fun stuff
It’s been so fun reading the comments from our announcement post last week. Thank you to everyone! We’ve had a fun week catching our breath from last week’s excitement and starting to prepare in little ways for our little peanut’s arrival! I’ve had some fun buying some little things. Check out this sweet green wrap dress by Tea Collection — got one for Miss Lydia and one for Miss Ashlyn. I also picked up this one from Tea in with blue shades. I got both of them from a local boutique I really like, Genes. 
I got a cute little pair of blue leggings that will go with them both–and cover those little legs in China which I’ve heard is very important. I also found some great deals at Lovebug Clothing. The shop owner Kim was just running a sale of 50% off your entire purchase! I found this cute giraffe dress there by Appaman (as well as a few other things) that were all a great deal. 
My grandmother collects giraffes, and this dress reminded me of her. So looking forward to seeing Lydia’s sweetness in these cute little duds! If you are looking for some cute things yourself, go check out Kim’s store at Lovebug and tell her that I sent you there. She’s been so helpful. Her customer service is fantastic.
While I’ve been admiring little dresses, Mark’s been doing nesting of his own and has managed to rearrange nearly every room of the house. Ashlyn is thrilled about her new room and is begging us to go ahead and set up the crib. She has her birthday party here on Friday and really wants to show off Lydia’s sleeping spot to her friends. So cute.
And, we are happy to announce that we got our PA (preapproval) from China today! So, they have acknowledged that we want to adopt our little girl and have agreed to review our paperwork for this specific child. The next thing we are waiting on is the Letter of Acceptance which holds a lot more significance. This can take 2 weeks or 2 months to come. Obviously, let’s pray is on the 2 week side of things!
We’re starting to plan a care package to send to Lydia in China. We are going to do it ourselves rather than hire a service to do it for us. Any suggestions of what to send?
