I am starting to really like the 19th of each month, because each "19th" is a milestone for us. As of today we have been on the waiting list for 7 months! It really is exciting how quickly time seems to be going and I hope that it won't seem like much longer until that amazing day comes when we receive "the call" about our referral.
To celebrate, I picked up a little something for our baby. You really can't go wrong with a rubber duckie! I find it so encouraging to have little baby things around the house as a reminder that the day is coming!!!!
Something interesting I've learned about Korea: On the right is a picture of a podaegi. This is a Korean blanket or carrier that mother's use to carry around their children. Apparently, when our child comes home, this is how they will be accustomed to "traveling".
Next week I am planning our first Korean meal (with a recipe stolen borrowed from another Rachel who is adopting from South Korea - thanks, Rach!) and I am so looking forward to learning more about the beautiful culture and people of South Korea. Wish me luck - I have a hard enough time getting American recipes to turn out right!!!

You are getting closer everyday! The duck is great and you definitely can't go wrong with that! You have to get one of those baby carrying things! And I think it is really cool that you are making a Korean meal, good luck!
