The Good Stuff- You know that country music song....The good Stuff? Since I left Kentucky I'm totally out of tune with country music so I have no idea who sings it. But it sure is stuck in my head this week. Because we are finally getting to...the good stuf.....
I've noticed a lot of my post are so serious and kind of a downer...so from now on I'm going to try to lighten it up a little. So here goes some good news...
John and I are going to spend 10 wonderful days with our daughter on February 3-13th. We will get to keep the baby with us the entire time! I am excited beyond words. I spend about half of my day daydreaming about meeting her for the first time. What it's going to be like to hold her...and see her in person. I'll be borrowing a friends laptop and we booked a room with high speed internet so you can expect photos of her every day.
Yesterday we went BABY SHOPPING. Wow...was that weird and wondeful at the same time. We bought cute little pink outfits and a couple of toys to take with us. We're well stocked on baby blankets, but will still have to pick up some bottles and such to take down there. We have to take most of the supplies we need because when they drop her off we get her and one bottle and that's it! There is a pharmacy near our hotel though, and the Marriott we're staying at caters to adoptive families. We should be in good hands and have the company of many other adoptive families on our stay.
Okay I can't get though this blog without daydreaming so I'm signing off for now. Just wanted to share some of my excitement with everyone else. :-)
Love,
Janine

My name is Jennifer and I ran across your blog quite by accident. I hope you don't think of this as an intrusion but I think it's really neat that you're adopting a child. I, too, am adopted. I just wanted to share a poem with you that my parents shared with me when I was old enough to understand.
"Not flesh of my flesh, nor bone of my bone, but still miraculously my own. Never forget for a single minute you grew not under my heart but in it."--Anonymous
What a wonderful journey you have been on and God bless you and your new daughter!
