And Then There Were None

This is it. The final countdown. (Cue 80s music.) There are no more days left. Only hours. During the middle of the night (our time) they will be meeting in Ethiopia to decide whether or not Baby M will be Baby MJM. (If they decide in our favor, I can tell you what those initials stand for! Oh, and we'll get to bring her home. But some people have been so anxious to hear her name, I know they'll be excited for that news alone!) There are three other families (that we know of) from our agency who will be having their cases heard, as well. We're really hoping to hear by the end of the week. Oddly enough, the longer it takes to hear, the more likely it is that you passed. Usually when you don't pass, they know right away. This may be the wait that finally does me in!

The nursery is nearly finished. We're hoping to get the remainder done by the weekend. Essentially we just need to finish off the molding and put the crib together. If all goes as hoped, we can post pictures when we post our GOOD NEWS!

Would you please remember us -- and the other families -- in your prayers? Besides the obvious desire to pass our hearings, we all need peace while we wait. Again!

Did you notice our countdown ticker above? Its been counting down since we were first placed on the waiting list. It has essentially been nine months. Like a pregnancy. Like the longest pregnancy ever. Its time for this baby to come home!!
