Happy 17 months

Ethan is 17 months old today! I know that one month will not mean much in the grand scheme of his life, but right now it seems like so much valuable time we have missed out on. Monday will be day 14 of a wait that has been ranging 15-28 days for our Article 5. Keep in mind that all of China was on holiday for a week for the Harvest Moon Festival beginning Sept 22nd, so that could delay things. Hopefully not. Please pray for a quick Article 5 and an even quicker TA (Travel Approval). We would love to be TA by the end of this month and then on a plane by the end of November. I have been sort of packing a little bit here and there. Just finished picking up the last of our aresnol of drugs. Antibiotics, Tamiflu, my migrane medicine, pedialyte, Tylenol, and a round of flu shots. Suffice it to say that a hospital in China is a very scary place to be, so it's best to prepare for the worst. I've also been smelling diapers (clean ones), testing nipples (fast flow, slow flow, orthodontic), and forcing NiNi into my mod new baby carrier so that I can try it out. I have 7 outfits neatly stacked in his crib. My mom keeps teasing me about the number of times that I have folded, unfolded, re-organized and folded again those outfits. Hey, give me a break...I'm nesting! Let's hope all this nesting brings on some good news from the CCAA!

I'll send you my Meihttp://www.meitaibaby.com/Tai?
Mine is collecting dust and it was the only carrier that I found that took up to 30lbs. (our kids were over 2yo when we got them :) And it's easy on the back and you can manipulate it many ways to carry them--even on the hip. email me if you want to use it-- they can be expensive.
