Announcing!!!

NICCO IS HOME!!!!

May 23, 2008. Well, it has been sometime since I have posted on our blog. I had major computer problems again and during that time Nicco has come home. It was a fantastic trip and we even got to see some of our friends from the last visit as well. I flew in May 1, 2008 and waited for my "pink" from the embassy to arrive. I received pink for Friday May 9th but received a great tip from my friend Cheri (thank you) to try standby at the embassy. I called on Tuesday (11 tries before reaching someone) and was told yes, I could come in on Wednesday as a stand by. I was so excited! But even better was the fortune cookie I saved before I left that said my lucky number was seven! Embassy day May 7th, 2008 and it was my lucky day. Nicco came home pretty sick with an ear infection and has had me running non stop. He is doing much better now and is back to his happy go lucky self. Never a baby with a better temperment than him. Some pictures from the great voyage home!

PGN OUT!!!!!!!!!!!

April 3, 2008. We got the news last Wednesday March 26, 2008 we are out of PGN. My birthday was Friday and what a gift to receive! Happy Birthday to me and to Nicco on his 8 months already!! What a handsome guy he is becoming!!! I have been so behind on blogging and on everything as we have had several challenges the past few months. God gives you what you can handle I suppose. Here's hoping we see you soon big boy!

What a day!!

March 5, 2008. Last night I had a trip to the hospital after suffering chest pains. I spent the last 24 hours being poked and proded, but luckily everything appeared to be fine. Poor Chris had to frantically come home from Chicago in the middle of the night to make sure everything was alright and to play nurse for me. Thank God I have him there when I need him. We received new pictures of Nicco and his full head of hair, but I have not been able to download them yet. I will post when I get a chance.

PGN Quiet

February 24, 2008. Hope everyone had a great Valentine's day filled with Love. I wanted to say "thankyou" to my husband for making it all about me and the special thoughts that mean so much to me. So far all has been quiet on the PGN front. No kick outs (that we know of) and hopefully everything is moving along smoothly. We have been working on Nicco's scrapbook all week and his photo's are everywhere! These are some of our favorites. I have been staying busy and going to the gym with Chris, I have lost 16 lbs. so far. Chris loves to work out and has been taking me with him everyday religously, my motivator! I can hardly wait to get to my pre-baby weight again, LOL! This weekend we will have our 7th birthday party for Nic. 7 months already, I can't believe it! For us everything has worked out perfectly timewise and has given us the ability to assess what it is important in life.

PGN!

February 14, 2008. Happy Valentine's day to all. Today we got the call that we have entered PGN. Hard telling how long we have to go, but we are finally in the home stretch. Things have been moving quickly with the CA registered so we will sit back and hope for the best. I am thinking of making a visit to see my little man soon. Hope everyone has a wonderful day :)

Moving Along!

February 12, 2008. Little man I am missing you so much today. I keep your face plastered everywhere I look because it keeps a fire in my heart. Yesterday we got news that we have been registered with the Central Authority and should enter PGN Wednesday, Joelle's Birthday! What a great present, but I am so sad today without you both. I just have not been myself lately and have been trying to stay busy. I need a good dose of sunshine, maybe a visit, who knows. Just one of those days. Thank you to my "Guat families", you know who you all are, for being so supportive to me with everything. And thankyou for letting me vent when necessary. Everything for a reason, right??
