Visa issued

I called this morning and they said our visa was issued! Woohoo! SO now what? We wait for our agency to call with Juliana's flight information! I have spoken to people from my agency and it has taken anywhere from 4 days after the visa interview to 3 weeks later!

I am getting so nervous and so excited at the same time. Everytime I do something I keep thinking "next week I might have to do this with three kids in tow". Wow. I am trying to get my house cleaned because I know when she comes home, much bonding needs to take place, and well cleaning will not be a priority.

I have so much to do! Clean some clothes, buy some diapers, etc. I also have to get our baby stuff out of storage and clean it down. It doesn't sound a lot but with our busy scheduled, it will take awhile.

Carmela and Joey are so excited. I am trying to downplay it since we don't have a date that she will be home. Otherwise they would not be sleeping for nights on end with anticipation. Carmela says she waited all her life for a sister! Too cute! Joey gets it as well, which I am shocked at since he's only 2. He's really excited. I can't wait for him to see us setting up the baby stuff so he gets it even more!

I will make sure to update as soon as I get the flight info..hopefully God willing that is my next post on my blog!

Hi Jackie,

I'm so glad I checked your blog. I've been thinking about you and wondering how the process was going. I'm so happy to hear she'll be here soon!!! I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it's days rather than week(s)!!!
