Happy Gotcha Day to Kaylee! This is a very special day for all of us. We received Kaylee in China one year ago today. She was waiting for us in Nanchang, China in a big, tall building on the 26th floor. I will never forget what led up to that day in our lives. Mark and I gone to a fertility specialist and I even came home with the liquid med that I would inject into myself. We at that point just said no. It was not just the money, pain of needles, and also not knowing if this would even work. We decided that IVF was not for us. Mark and I had had many conversations about having children, adopting...I have always thought that I would have atleast three kids. Well that did not happen the "normal" way. So we have no problems in making it happen ANY way we can. Now of course we went in debt with our adoption of Kaylee. There are NO regrets. I talked to our social worker today and she told me there was a girl who is pregnant with her fourth and she is supposedly going to give that one up for adoption. Now the old me would be screaming of joy, but I am not at this point. She is about 3 or 4 months along and Michelle (sw) told me, Mark and I are top of the list. I do not know anything about the baby-race, gender...We would be happy with a healthy baby with polka dots...LOL
Our Gotcha Day was nice. We went to Chen's Chinese Restaurant, and had a very nice dinner. Instead of a cupcake, we ordered "chinese doughnuts" Kaylee loved them! I took a lot of pictures but they are not the best. Kaylee has been somewhat of a whiney-baby today. She has more teeth coming in and I would rather blame her fussing on that then on her being a spoiled little princess...LOL We will have to work on this. When we got home, I put the pajamas that we bought Kaylee in China on her. She was actually happy after that. I bought her a lot of small items in China so I could give her something every year on this special day. This year she received a hand carved wooden comb. She likes to play with her baby dolls hair and maybe I can train her to play with mine too! LOL
Tonight was also our Church Board meeting and I have been voted in as the new Secretary and Trudy is the new Vice Chairman.
