This afternoon we sat down and got all of our documents organized. Tomorrow Kevin will FedEx our I-600, DS-230, I-864, and 2007 federal tax return along with copies of W2s to AIT. It makes me nervous to check, recheck, and triple check that our address is spelled correctly and to make sure that we didn't miss any signatures. I treated myself to a little digiscrapping when we were finished. I haven't had a chance to do this for a little while.
Early this morning we got a little surprise. We received updated measurements for Hannah Claire. On 12/5/08 she weighed 14.5 pounds and was 25.4 inches long. Unfortunately, the message said also said that our pickup date was January 5th, 2009. WHAT?!?!!?! This mama went a little ballistic, as we planned on being home recovering from jet lag and playing peek-a-boo at home on January 5th. After several late night e-mails back and forth, it was determined that the pickup date is still planned for December 29th... but I'm still recovering from the panic attack that this incorrect date caused me.
Is it time to go yet?
10 days. Wow. Can you believe you're now this close in the count down to Hannah Claire?
ReplyDeleteGlad to read that everything worked out with the pickup date. I'll bet your heart really skipped a beat!
Holy Cow guys. I'm super excited. And ready for babydog's visit.
ReplyDeleteWhew! I think I'd have wet myself! I panicked when our agency said that they needed our dossier so no one else would snatch up our Joel! (after we already had him on hold!) That was months ago but I'm sure I peed a little then! ha!
ReplyDeleteNot long now! Hang tight! Life is about to get more interesting...if you can believe that! And blessings untold are soon to be yours my friend! God is good!
10 Days--Woo-hoo!! It's coming very soon :)
