Well, tomorrow marks 40 days of waiting,in 4 days it will be 6 weeks since our LOI was sent electronically to China. Our agency speculates we will receive our LOA 2 months after LOI. Of course it could be longer, it could be shorter(of which I doubt). We were able to get an update on Katie this week!! She looks very healthy in her pictures, thank you God. She is drinking from a cleft bottle. She sleeps well, isn't crawling yet, but sitting alone. She is very tiny still, only wearing a size 3-6 months clothes. She is a petite 13 1/2 lbs and 26 1/2 inches long. Just a peanut. I've mainly been buying 6-9 months clothes with a few 12 months. I probably won't buy anymore until we have her, with the exception of sleepers, as we have none.
As always, keep praying for all of us, and for our LOA to come sooner then later:)

Hi Shannon, It is so good to read about your update. PTL! To know she is getting fed with the cleft bottle is HUGE! I think back to Susannah's early days and wonder and really believe that somebody must have taken time in feeding her … or she would not have survived those early months. Praise God for the people He has placed in their lives to meet their needs.
Susannah is a peanut too! About 25 lbs. we think! Good news is we are used to peanuts as both our boys are too! She'll fit right in here at the Irwin house! Well I do hope you wait no longer than 60 days! That is 60 days too long! Just think: you are most likely at least halfway there. That is what I thought at 40 days and sure enough, it turned out be exactly halfway. If you get it in 60 days, you are two-thirds of the way there! Even better!
Thanks for all your prayers and encouragement and for the prayers of all your church family! Please thank them for me. They are welcome to follow along. We will have a new site though. It will be up and running in a few days and I'll post the address again on our youbelong site and on the yahoo group! Have a great weekend!
