They referred babies before the Chinese New Year Break!

Woohoo! It has taken another 6 weeks for referrals to come and they are to June 2 and approx 37 babies were referred! We are getting close. We believe we are approx 53 babies from being referred which could happen in March or April or worst case May then travel 2 months after referral. Lots of preparations are upon us. I am finally going to goto Babys r us to start our registry as it has been so difficult to go there when every month our wait has become longer and protective mechanisms have stopped me in my tracks to not go there. I am walking through my fear and finally allowing myself to start feeling the happy feelings that truly go with becoming a mom. All baby showers will happen when we return home with Jailyn. I will be ready for about 10 baby showers once she is here.....bring it on!!!!! We have just signed up for Baby Basics classes and a Baby CPR all in March. Anything to help us get prepared. Then 2 months of prep to get to China and back. My girlfriend, Lynelle, is next in line for referrals just 8 days ahead of me and I am so excited for her. We both are unable to have our own children biologically and have found eachother through this journey. We are so blessed to have eachother to confide our feelings, fears, hopes and dreams and she and Jeremy live in Norwood and we are praying we are referred together. She had a dream not to long ago we were referred together and how awesome would it be to travel together. Please pray China refers a big ole batch and that we can be together. It is so nice to have a friend who understands every feeling I have had along this journey to Jailyn.....
Until the next batch of referrals much love and thanks for following our journey,
