Ni Hao Y'all

when east meets south

a recap

Last night:

9:00PM – sitting on the couch, refreshing email just in case China released the new shared list early. Yeah, riiight. But you never know.

9:30PM – eyes beginning to burn, starting to yawn. Definitely feeling the effects of not sleeping the night before.

10:00PM – in bed, iPhone tucked under my pillow. Suddenly feeling wide awake. Praying with Chris about the possibility of being blessed with a new daughter, and seeing her face for the first time.

10:15PM – the sound of the phone breaks the silence. Oh yes it did.

WAAAHOOOOOOOOO!

I’ll share more as soon as I can…

Thank y’all so much for your prayers… they were answered!!

  6. Oh, now that's just mean. Leaving me hanging, before I'm all coffee'd up and all. Ugh.

    And now, I'll have to be stalking you all morning, waiting for that update "later." Good thing I HAVE to finish shopping for BBE, or I'd be tempted to sit and wear out the refresh button all day 🙂

    I just found your wonderful blog and have been trying to read bits and pieces of your story in between our day. We have four bio kids and a little sister from China, and after reading your blog I want to go back for one more!!

  71. Just wanted to say: it's taking a lot of energy to be obsessed with your newest addition. I keep preparing myself for how long it will take before we hear, we see. I tell you, I can't imagine how tired YOU are actually living this amazing roller coaster. 🙂 Sleep well tonight.

    LOL… I'm glad to know I am not the only one who sleeps with the iphone under her pillow. It came in handy the last few months when I wanted to check RQ to see if Europe was reporting any early rumors:)
