Congratulations Patty! That is so exciting. We still haven't done our second parent adoption, although we did do the consultation with an attorney. We had to wait on the tax return to pay the retainer and now we're kinda holding onto the money in case more expenses for Sandy's dad come up. I can't wait to get the new birth certificate though.

Robin- Glad you got to see the heartbeat. That's so reassuring.

Suellen- I think an early shower is kinda nice. I wished we could have had ours earlier. We had to wait to figure out what we would have to buy and it seemed so frenzied afterwards. I agree with Carrie, don't register for clothes. You'll probably get more than you know what to do with. Seems like that's what everyone wants to buy.

Laura- That woman sounds like a "peach". I would have to try really hard to not reach over and slap her.
