Nesting...

Yes, you read that right - nesting. I spent the entire day (okay, okay - ALMOST the entire day!) cleaning today. I was like a woman possessed - had to get some "spring cleaning" done, even though it's November. I have always heard of pregnant women nesting right before they had their babies, but I don't know if it is necessarily a phenomenon for pre-adoptive mothers, but I am going to guess that it can happen...

I still don't have travel dates yet and Monday will be the start of the 13th week of waiting. **sigh** I figured I would be traveling by now, and to be still waiting on dates is working my very last nerve. On the plus side I DID receive information this week from the referral team regarding RP. I had asked for development milestones at the request of the IA doctor when I first accepted the referral of her, but I never heard back. This week I received the following information regarding my little RP:

* She can stand unassisted
* She can play with toys
* She understands simple instructions
* She smiles
* She babbles, says simple words.
* The girl shows good progress, developmentally she is almost on track(very small delay due to her stay in the orphanage). They say she is smart, likes attention , open to contact, gets along well with children.

Not exactly the development milestone information I was looking for, but I was thrilled to hear this nonetheless. Hopefully travel dates will be coming soon - I am about to burst from the anticipation!!!
