More Pictures

This tuesday morning we received updated photos of Xiao Zhi Meng. I have mixed feelings about these pictures. First, I am thrilled to have the updated photos. But secondly, I feel that monstrous pull to pick her up and hold her. The environment does look a little austere. So, I will be reading up about sensory issues just to be on the safe side. Third, I just got use to my baby being 12 months in her last photos it was kind of a jolt to see her age 5 months in 1 week! As much as you try to say "OK this referral photo is of her at twelve months and she is almost seventeen months now" it is actually really hard to visualize the difference. I just can't get her home fast enough. Now, that I have said all that, don't you think she is ooh so very, very pretty? And I am very happy to see she looks healthy too.

Here She Is!!

Selene, Xaio Zhi Meng (Ideal Dream), DOB 24 Feb 2007, Jiangxi Provence

REFERRAL!

We received our referral information at 4:08pm in the parking lot of Walmart! But we are over the moon and can't wait for more particulars and pictures. We will get those on Wed. here is what we know so far: Xiao Zhi Meng meaning Ideal Dream; born Feb. 24th 2007 (golden pig); Jiangxi Provence; Xiajiang S.W.I. ; described as lovely, beautiful, obstinate (!), loves music, active, has a ready smile. I am one very excited mother-to-be! Oh, her name is soon to be Selene. But we are not ready to decide on her middle name until we see her photos.
