WOW..

Yes, we are officially freaking out! We are going to be parents - that sounds so weird. Rex has been doing a good job of getting us ready for the big life altering changes that are about to come our way - he likes to wake us up around 4:00am and is constantly meowing at us to play with him. He is so high maintenance!

For those who are interested... we now have to wait for them to issue a new birth certificate & passport (with her new last name!). Once we get the BC, then we can submit a request to the US Embassy for authorization to do the 2nd DNA testing (they check to make sure the baby is the same baby that started the adoption process). The lab results are sent to LabCorp in Burlington NC of all places. Once the US Embassy approves the DNA results - they send us an email - its called the "pink slip" giving us the date of our appointment in Guatemala City!! Then we really freak out. We will have anywhere from 3 to 21 days notice before we have to travel.

Thanks for checking in. I hear jer downstairs doing the dishes..I feel kinda of guilty, especially since he cooked too. But ya know..after those 3 weeks of taking care of him 24/7 - I don't feel so bad!

Yea, but the furry kid can be tapped on the nose to be quiet at 3am... the kiddo will scream louder if ya do that. ;) Glad to know I'm not the only whooped man in the world... Make sure those dishes are clean! Try to focus on the things you really want to get done around the house, because once she is here, they won't... TRUST ME! Take care! I'm really excited for you two!

her last name will be Warren, we were actually thinking of changing all our last names to "Buckethead", but you know the process just takes to much time.
