and a new medical report, too!

Medical report from YESTERDAY says she is healthy, active, sitting well, starting to crawl. She weighs 16 pounds at 8 months old.

We're coming baby girl!!!!!!!!

WE'RE OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Last night we received a call that our case is OUT of PGN, the final review process!!! This means that within four weeks, WE WILL BE GOING TO GET GABRIELLA!!!!!

This is a huge miracle for us- we were in PGN for 6 weeks exactly- with NO kick outs for problems in the paperwork. To give you perspective, we were in PGN for 5 MONTHS with Antonio, and had three separate times we were kicked out. THIS IS A HUGE MIRACLE!!!!!!

We should be traveling around mid-later part of October!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Funny part of this- I was upstairs last evening putting away laundry- came downstairs, saw my email and saw that I had missed a call from our social worker, telling us we were out!! Just then, Barry pulled up from work- I snatched up Antonio, FLEW out the door, jumping up and down screaming and yelling that we got out of PGN! Barry couldn't believe it! We rejoiced (Antonio is thinking "what is UP with my mother??" I am sure my neighbor was wondering the same- crazy lady! I rapidly made some calls to family, posted on my chat room, made emails, etc!!
Yahoo!!!!!!!!!!

Shout out to Allison!

Shout out to Allison in Japan! Congrats on your new baby boy Rei! Can't wait to meet my little "nephew!"
