A glimmer of hope


We received the camera we sent in our welcome bag back today. I was so very excited. I rushed to Walgreens ordered double prints and a cd of the photos. I was looking forward to filling a page in Noah’s life book with these pictures. We had one photo on the camera, the rest of the film was empty–wiped clean. The picture was in the middle of the negatives. I was so saddened. But one picture is better than no pictures.

I emailed our agency today and requested an update on our little guy. The request has been forwarded to Ethiopia so hopefully next week I should get an acutal update–how big he is, how he is progressing etc, and another picture. But he looks cute. I really just want him in my arms. It will happen soon enough. I am nearing the final phase of nursery preparation–will finish painting saturday and hope to lay the floor on Sunday. I am making progress. WooHoo. Tomorrow is friday and I will then only have 9 days of work until I offically a stay at home mom. It doesn’t matter that they baby isn’t home yet does it?

  1. Dawn, he’s so precious — how disappointing to only get one photo! I hope you get an update soon.And no, it doesn’t matter if the baby’s home yet or not. You’re mothering him from afar — heck, I’m mothering my baby and I don’t even know who she is yet! 🙂

  2. Thank goodness you got the one. We sent a camera too and I have no idea if we will be able to get the film processed in Ethiopia or if I can avoid it getting damaged by the x-ray machines on the way back.
