What a DAY! May 14, 2007




This was another day where I was expecting to get a new picture of Hai ZiWu. This time from a family down in KY who were in China getting their little girl. I did indeed find some really cute pictures of him. Just like last time, he had been asleep prior to picture time. One thing I noticed right off the bat was how much his hair had grown. It's very obvious. As a matter of fact, Molly walked around for 2 days showing EVERYBODY the new pictures of her new little brother, saying, "This is my new little brother. He has bedhead! AAAAND 5 teeth."

Just after receiving Hai ZiWu's new pictures, we received updated measurements on him. He is still a tiny, little thing. Nearly 14 months old, and in 6-9 month old clothes!

height - 65cm - 25 1/2 inches
weigh - 8.5 kg - 18.7 lbs.
head - 46 cm - 18 inches
chest - 46 cm - 18 inches
feet - 10 cm - 4 inches
teeth - 5

Immediately after receiving measurements, we got an e-mail with updated photos from our agency.

Immediately after receiving photos, we got a call from AHH letting us know that our Travel Approval (TA) had arrived, that our agency was putting in for a June 13th consulate date, and we might leave as early as May 31st! The kicker was that we needed to hear back from China by Friday in order to get the 14 day advance purchase airfare prices. By this time, I was feeling like I had been hit by about 5 different trucks coming from 5 different directions - but in a good way. I thought that maybe I could deal with leaving in only 2 weeks and 4 days. Maybe.

Now, about childcare for our other 3 kiddos . . .
