New Numbers and Shots

Yesterday Julie confirmed our new numbers:

#2 on the boys list
and
#6 on the siblings list

I already had a strong suspicion we were #2. That's because Brian and Heather who were two spots ahead of us on the list received the referral of a 3 week old baby boy earlier in the week! 3 weeks old !! Congratulations guys! It is an honor to celebrate this child with you. It's my hope we will travel to Ethiopia together to meet our kids for the first time!

Knowing we might receive a referral soon, which in turn means travel to Ethiopia soon, also means it's time to get....VACCINATED. On Tuesday we went to the county health clinic to be vaccinated for Hepatitis A & B, and tetanus. Next week will be typhoid.

This picture shows just how much Dodd enjoys shots.

The ladies at the clinic were so excited for us and the adoption. They are standing in the background watching. They probably enjoyed the spectacle of me "shooting" pictures of Dodd getting shots. Ha ha. Thanks for the shots ladies!

    Hi Guys! It's so great to make contact with another family we may travel with!!! So exciting to be at #2!!!! This could be a huge month or so for referrals with 10 families traveling right now!!

    Seeing your post of getting shots reminds me to ask about that! I haven't even thought of it! Oh my word....can't believe we're all this close already!!! Chat with you again soon, I'm sure!

    Exciting, Becky!!! You must be getting absolutely crazy with anticipation! I can't wait to hear when you receive your referral!

    I stumbled across another Ethiopia adoption blog. You've probably already seen it, but it made me think of you. http://babyfromababa.blogspot.com

    I am very anxious to hear about your referral! I too heard that with all of the families traveling and bringing their kiddos home means more kiddos moving in. Referral time is coming for you all!!!! I can't wait. This is an awesome adventure. Still praying to meet you in our travels!
