Thank you...thank you...thank you

I will write again soon and post some pictures, but I just wanted to write a short note and say thanks to everyone for their kind words and congratulations. Thanks also to everyone who came to visit, sent food, gifts or called, we love you all! Thanks to my family...I have the most amazing family in the world. Sheri Lee thanks for everything...staying with me one night, taking Savannah one night, and offering to do everything. Thanks to my brothers who were there all the time and are already very protective. Thanks Mom and Dad for everything...I can't say any more or I will be bawling.
I have been in a bit of a whirlwind since I got home and my brother just fixed our computer for us and we got it back two nights ago so I feel totally out of touch and still have all my favorite blogs to read and catch up on. I feel like I have been away to another planet rather than in the hospital. I have to say that I cannot say enough good things about the staff, doctors and nurses of the PC Hospital where I was all last week. AMAZING wonderful and caring people, I feel very blessed to have had that experience. So thank you to them as well. Ok...gotta go feed Kennah. Just read my sister's comment on my last posting to find out all the details on our little princess...and a big thank you to Crystal Murray for deciding the first name of our daughter for us, without you she would still be No Name Brant... we actually only had the middle names picked and Savannah and I both wanted Kateri for a first name. Her name suits her now and we think she is pretty special. Savannah is beside herself happy in her new role as big sister and she can't wait to bring Tya home to add to the female population. Good thing Jeff loves girls :)

What is the hold up?

Hee hee...I am so touched that so many people are wondering where the baby is...did I have him/her yet?...not yet. I will keep you all posted...I LOVE the countdown suggestion Stephanie and I love it even better that you were doing it for me. Thanks :0). I am so not good at that, keeping track. So the news is that I am going to have my water broke tomorrow...(is that too much info.?) If that doesn't work and I get the feeling from my Obgyn (who is awesome and amazing, so sweet...the very best) that I will probably have to go for a c-section on Tuesday am...bright and early and by all accounts I have heard that usually the babies are born about 8 am on the c-section day as long as there isn't a long wait for the OR or any complications. I had to have a c-section for Savannah so I knew all along that this was a possibility but I decided to give myself a week past my due date and see what happened this time around and my OBGYN was very supportive of whatever decision I made. I asked Jeff if I could bring my laptop into the hospital, he said I could but he didn't think there was internet connection. I am going to anyway and if it doesn't work I may get my sister to try for me, she is pretty savy with the computer and she lives super close to the hospital. Thanks again for all the concern and kind words I could feel the love across the internet... I hope and pray for a healthy baby. I will be in touch.

Check out this wonderful commercial that always makes me cry... just happens to be one of the banks we deal with most.

I like the little girl's name too ;0)

The Clows...with Kennedy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They have her....Kennedy is in their arms. After all this time, all those tears, all those days of wonder and worry. She is where she is menat to be. I am so emotional right now I can't even think straight. I love my dear friend Carolyn and she is so ready to be a mom. I can't wait to talk to her in person. For now I am waiting and watching my blog for updates, just click on their name on the sidebar to read more. Look at these beautiful pictures I just had to post them.
xooxoxoxooooooooooooooooooooooooooxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxooxoxooxooxo to the whole family...I love you all. Hi Kennedy, we can't wait to meet you.

Where are we at in the adoption process???

Where are we at in the adoption process....hmmmm...good question. I have no idea. Are we still adopting? YES!!!!! This was recently posted by CCAA and one of my fav. sites, Rumor Queen. Do I know what it means for us...not really. I can guess, I can estimate, I can pray. All I know is that if March is almost out of the review room, we are May...so I hope it is soon for us to be out of the review room...I will feel better once we are out of the review room and onto the matching room although that may take some time. I feel like it will be sometime in 2008 when we finally have Tya with us...I am just not sure how early or late in the year that will be. It will be when it is supposed to be I guess. That is all the news I have on this front right now.

Clows are on their way to Kennedy

I am so excited and thrilled to know that Carolyn and Marvin are en route to China. I feel like I should be going with them as we have been through every step of this process together. I want to be a little ladybug on their shoulder that minute that Kennedy is placed in their arms. Oh how sweet a moment that will be.
I am also thinking of the Stetson's from Summerside, that are on their way to China as well. Anyone who wants to follow their blog can check out thestoryofyou.com (on my sidebar) and go to the section on travelling and click on their daughter Roshandra's name.
I am thrilled to finally see some of the people I know leaving for China it is a hopeful sign of progress. I hope it continues and even speeds up but there is no way to know or predict that.
Wahoo....Clows, Stetsons and all families on their way to China....I am thinking of you!
