    Congratulations!! That's so exciting! Now the countdown begins. I've been reading good things about wait times. I've even see LOAs in 5-6 weeks after DTC.

    Okay, it took me two times of looking at the pictures to get it. DUH! DTC!

    I am hoping and praying we are DTC by August.
    I am content knowing it is all in His hands.
