I will be cruising at 30,000 feet on my way to Addis Ababa via Washington DC.  I am brimming with anxiety and excitement.  We received an update on our little Peepers yesterday and she is still a tiny little thing–even at 6 1/2 months old–11.4lbs and 24 inches.  Tiny.  I think most of the clothes I have will fit her–barely as she is so skinny.  I am going to go through Minnow’s baby clothes for some newborn clothes–she certainly won’t need them very long.  Minnow gained 3lbs in nearly 2 weeks when we first brought him home.  I have to keep reminding myself how little she is–as I see her pictures and she looks much bigger–pictures have a way of making objects in them appear larger.  That is my excuse and I am sticking to it. 

Peepers seems to be developing well.  She can lift herself up when she is on her belly and can sit with support.  I just can’t wait to get my hands on her.  This time is so very different than the last.  I am certainly nervous but not nearly as nervous as I was when we were preparing to bring Minnow home.  I know so much more this time and I know that there are things that can go wrong and when they do–our agency will help figure it all out.  They rock. 

Well, I am off to pick through some baby clothes and see what I can come up with.  I am lucky that most of the dresses, etc that I bought to take are 3mos size–but those might still be a little big on our peanut.  Happy Weekend.
