Today Grandma and Grandpa went to the doctor to get their arms all shot full of needles so they can travel along to pick up Keagan. I don't think they whined as much as me, but their arms hurt just as much:) Now that those are done, I suppose I'd better think about what in the world I need to pack.
(p.s. less than 20 days until court... but I'm not impatient or anything)

My Arm, The Pin Cushion
Today was travel vaccine day. In all I had four needles poked into my arm. The bad news - I still have one more vaccination to get. The good news - it could have been up to 5 more shots. At least it's over.

30 Days And Counting Down
In just 30 days, some big wigs in an Ethiopian court room will decide if I will officially become Keagan's mom. 1 more month of just sitting around and waiting. I've had just about enough of that. I have "tentative" travel dates of May 14-21st, which means we'd actually leave on the 13th - so we can arrive on the 14th. Those dates will be firmed up after the court date of course.
In the meantime, I'm occupying my time trying to clean out Keagan's room and make room for some of his stuff. I guess I really don't need that box full of old college projects anymore anyway.
Tomorrow I'm headed to the doctor's office to get my first round - yes, first round, of travel vaccinations. Anyone who knows me will realize that this idea does NOT thrill this soon-to-be mommy very much at all. I'll find out exactly how many vaccinations I need to get when I meet with them tomorrow. But I'm going to guess there will be at least 5 shots involved. Oh well, a bunch of shots and a very long plane trip is still more appealing than actually going through labor.
I'm off to clean the nursery so it's ready for Grandma and Grandpa to paint when they get here :)

4 Months
Yes. My little guy is 4 months old today. I'm hoping to get new pictures of him by the end of the month - because my adoption coordinator is on her way to Ethiopia as I type.
She sent "estimated travel times" to me last week. It looks like we could be headed over around May 14th. Let's hope it doesn't get pushed back for any reason.

Keagan's First Presents
My adoption coordinator is headed to Ethiopia and is taking a care package to Keagan for me.
It's amazing how much you can cram into a one gallon plastic bag.
