I feel really blessed. Not only do I have a beautiful baby girl waiting for me in Ethiopia but I have the wonderful support of friends and family as well. To top that off I have met some truly amazing people that have touched my lives along this journey to peanut. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would not only gain a family member but some amazing friends.
I was fortunate enough to have coffee with this person this morning. It is great to have a local Mom to chat with about ethics, adoption, babies and yes sometimes our husbands. It was a great way to start the day. I look forward to many more such occasions in the future.
I also received a special email from this person today. She is in Ethiopia right now and her email touched my heart. I am so grateful to her and can't wait to hear all about her trip and her little girl.
This weekend I will be meeting in person my Secret Pal. We are getting together for coffee and to chat.
Then there is this person. She has been my wait list buddy. We received our referrals days apart and accepted them on the same day. We both have an April 3rd court date and are hoping to be travel buddies. I have been so blessed to have her to complain to, freak out with and celebrate with. We haven't met in person yet but hopefully we will soon.
And to the rest of my blogging buddies listed to the right, THANKS! You all have been so supportive and insightful. I couldn't imagine going through this alone and it is nice to share this journey with people that get it. If you are ever in my neck of the words, I would love to have coffee with you as well. Notice a theme here....I think I have a problem. I love me some good coffee :) and some good company.
UPDATE: We just got baby girl's new measurements. She now weighs 7.2 lbs and is 20.6 inches long. She has gained over a pound and grown over an inch since last month. :)

I am blesses to have you too, without you I wouldn't know when I need to call and yell at Jackie :) We will meet soon and our little ones are going to be the best of friends-if Bella doesn't try and sit on A :)
Sounds like she is doing great! It won't be long before you hold her in your arms.
Wow, she is growing so well! I can't wait until you pass court and can share her beautiful pics with us. :)
First, I have to say that I would LOVE to have coffee with you! Someday we have to make this happen! Also, Congrats on peanut's growth progress. I think she's doing great. I am a little worried about D's numbers as he is extremely tiny. I'm just praying that our babies continue to grow and thrive! If you have any new insight on weight/height/head cir, shoot me a msg on FB.
