Default It's a girl!
For those of you that didn't know . . . . I'm adopting a baby from Vietnam. Yesterday, I received my referral (assignment) of a baby girl. I'll spare you the details of my hysterical reaction ( I really didn't expect it so soon!).

Vietnamese name: Nguyen Thi Mai (Mai is her first name)
Birthdate: June 17, 2006
Place of birth: Hanoi, Vietnam
Weight at birth: 6.6 pounds
Weight as of Oct 16th (medical exam): 10 lbs
Length (10/16): 23 inches
General health: good, everything normal

Her new name: Josephine (Josie) Mai Carroll (Ha! We have the same initials. Just realized that. Sorry. Moving on . . . .)

So-she is currently 6 1/2 months old. It will likely take about 3 months before I get to travel to Vietnam to pick her up-putting travel hopefully late March or early April.


Go to my website to see the pics of my little cutie!

She is just beautiful! I have a six month old and they are such an absolute blessing. I'm so happy for you! Let us know when you pick up your little baby girl.

Juliemarie - this is all too exciting. I agree that it sure seems to be flying along! Josie is a cute name, and I like the matching initials! She is adorable (okay, I can't say much about her photo outfit....but I certainly understand the circumstances!). I caught up on your blog as well. Thanks for sharing all this with us. You're going to be one busy mama.....Since I cannot offer any baby care tips, can I organize a "virtual" baby shower????

Congratulations! I’m so excited for you and I’m sure March can’t come soon enough. Now the fun of getting everything ready for the baby can really begin! I wish you the best of luck.

Thanks you guys! I think she's pretty cute too . . .ans yes-things have happened really fast-mainly due to the new process that's ahead. They're trying to squeeze as many of us in before it happens.

I have 2 neices and extremely generous/excited family members-so this little girl is all set! I'll pop in tomorrow with more details. Gotta run now . . .
