Follow Up

Just to follow up on my last post:
  • I did get an email back right away regarding the trial for in vitro matuartion. The one stumbling block - it is not free as are most medical trials. As far as fertility treatments go, it is relatively cheap - $5800 per cycle. But the trial is in New York so you would have to factor in travel costs. I have put it out of my mind as a possibility.
  • I never heard back from Jeopardy. I suppose that means that either my score was so poor they didn't think it was worth even responding or they found that I am such a genius they are taking their time trying to decide how to respond. OK, maybe I am delusional.
There is nothing new to report on the adoption front. I spoke with our attorney and she has zippo in the works right now but still feels that the process will be much quicker than China. Speed is all relative.

In the meantime, I am keeping busy with church stuff and my own personal book selling business. Both of which consume the vast majority of my time. Dave and I decided that if an adoption does not come through within a few months than I should quit one or the other. I agree completely.

Oh, I got my hair highlighted for the first time ever. I will post a picture as soon as I get my haircut - hopefully this Friday.

I'm sorry about the blows... This journey just really bites!

I can't wait to see your hair do! And I'm itching for another coffee, or even lunch! Where are you Monday? I'm OFF! :)

Continued prayer for you!

Ponderings that don't deserve a post of their own...

Never before have I been so sweaty, sticky, and stained and cared so little. On a sign in the ladies room at the US Consulate: Help keep our environment clean: Please keep your feet on the floor and not on the toilet seat. What the ...? My new diet and exercise plan - parenting twins. Hong Kong - ultra firm mattress, barely uncomfortable. Nanchang - surprisingly plush mattress, just right.  Guangzhou - what mattress? it really should be called a platform or plank.   Loving the people, marketing and salesmanship skills of the Chinese shop owners. I wonder if they have attended a John Maxwell seminar. He is popular here, you know. One would think that the country that built this thoroughly modern skyscraper , the second largest in the world, could come up with a way of making the tap water potable. Why are there so many Chinese people wandering around the hotel in their robes? Note to self - do not shake a baby bottle filled with very hot formula. Question:...

I really thought I would have time to blog everyday on this "once in a life time trip" but in reality, yesterday I did not even have time to brush my hair and I have yet to wash it since getting the twins on Sunday. So as I sit here on Tuesday evening I want to remember and record all that has transpired since the girls were first placed in our arms but I am sitting in a dark hotel since Abbi and Livi are asleep in their cribs just 10 feet away.  The near darkness make me want to crawl under the covers and fade into dream land. So, the remedy is going to be a bulleted list which I will try to expand on later. "Try" is the operative word here. Gotcha Day was traumatic for the girls but they soon calmed down and just eyed us with suspicion for the evening. Prior to getting the girls there was a two hour meeting to discuss feeding and caring for the babies and the itinerary. Monday was paperwork day. The first office was where the adoption became official. ...
