cute baby stuff!

one of the best things about bringing home a new baby is all of the adorable baby stuff! last week on the way home i told cris "i hope we have a package when we get home". he was like "why would we have a package? did you order something?" I told him i didn't order anything, but that i loved getting little things for Juneau in the mail. When we got home there was a package after all! from great-grandpa and great grandma Stickley! and it was the most beautiful little handmade blanket. I can't wait to post photos of it. It is so special and sweet. Juneau has no idea that she is about to join a family with the greastest grand and great-grandparents and aunties and uncles. But i'm sure she'll figure it out pretty quickly!

This weekend was also our baby shower, put on by some of the people I work with. We have so many cute little outfits for her, and toys, and books. Her little room is filling up quickly! She now owns everythign from little tiny sunglasses, to little sandals and hairbows!

waiting is hard. really hard. But every day gets us one day closer to having our little girl home. Being separated by lots of land (and even more ocean!) makes it hard not to worry about her. We hope that someone is loving her, and holding her when she cries. We pray that she is getting healthier and chubbier! We pray that she won't get sick. We can't wait for the moment the Vietnamese government approves us to bring her home!
