9/11/06 DTC 1 month

Happy 1 month DTC. This mean that our paper work has been in China for 1 month. We have not been given a LID (log in date) yet. Other people's who dossier went to China the same time as our have a LID of 9/4/06. When we called the agency to find out if they had heard anything they said that for some reason it takes longer for them to get the dates than other agency but our's should be the same date. I will post when I know for sure but that is what I am thinking it will be. What this means by going by what the timeline is right now is that in 13-14 months from 9/4/06 we will receive our referal. That means instead of being in China for our 10 year anniversary we might be getting our referal instead. I pray that the timeline will change there are rumors that it may go up to 18 months and rumors that it will get shorter nobody really knows. I haven't done anything to get the nursery ready yet I think I will wait until after the first of the year to start on it. I do have a theme picked out and have boughten bedding that I found for $25.oo and all of the assesories (window valances, lamp shade, pillows, diaper stacker) were only $5.00 each I couldn't beat this deal and so even though I wanted to do the room in ladybugs I am going to do a day in the park type theme. I think it will turn out cute I just need to get motivated to do it. I have a lot of time. Nicholas started preschool today. I was worried how he would do but he did great. I will have to post pictures when I get them developed. He is going twice a week for two hours and so I will have a few hours to myself every week. I am not sure if I am ready for that I will miss him. I stayed with him today and probably will again on Wednesday, and after that I think he will be ready to go solo. He has a lot of friends he all ready knew in his class.
