Seems that we may be included (or may not) in the next round of referrals. We are so eager and at the same time nervous, that we are quite on edge. My daughter had a dream about getting only 3 crayons when I gave her friend 7, so I can tell she is a bit nervous about sharing! I have started organizing the clothing, etc., but we've agreed we won't build the crib until we have a photo.

In the meantime, we are celebrating Chinese New Year with homemade dragons (left), a feast at a friend's house, and some decorating.

I am getting pretty close to believing this is going to happen for us.

It is exciting to plan the trip and the sightseeing we will do before we pick up baby. Beijing, Xian and my daughter's birthplace - can we do that much? Will she become tired and frustrated? Or will she be hitting her stride when we get the little one?
