We are certifiable!

This morning FedEx delivered our certified and authenticated documents to our doorstep. Woohoo!! Now all we have to do is make photo copies of everything and submit it to our agency (along with another hefty payment) and we will be ready to be put on the waiting list for a referral! We are still waiting to get out I171-H (it is a form that is issued by the US Government approving us to adopt internationally) but we can be put on the waiting list before we receive it. I am getting anxious about it though because last time around we got it very fast - about 2 weeks after everything was submitted to them. So far it has been 5 weeks. I haven't checked the mail yet today so maybe it is in there.

This morning Marcus and I went off to meet up with two other ladies and their kids for a little play group. There were 4 kids total ranging in age from 5 months to 32 months. Marcus really enjoyed watching the other kids and was fascinated by the different toys. Unfortunately we met rather close to Marcus's nap time so we couldn't stay too long.

Marcus is having some sleep issues that are spilling over to sleep issues for the whole family, but mostly me. I feel that everything is under control though and even though it might be a little rough I know that I can keep my cool and in the end it will work out for the better. I have discussed this with 3 different moms now and they are all supporting me and giving me ideas which is great.
