Five weeks in and this is what I know:
1. We have received our I-171 form which means Jaden has received a visa from the US government! This seems like a big deal...at least we are treating it as such.
2. A couple of weeks ago we found out that Jaden had been in the hospital with a nasty virus. He is fine now, but it was really hard to find out about this after the fact. The silver lining is that we received updates on his growth.
3. He was 16.88 pounds and 27 inches long at his 6 month appointment.
4. My leave of absence request from my job is being finalized. I won't be returning to school after our winter break.
5. Dustin and I ordered Jaden's diapers this week. BumGenius 3.0. I'm sure I'll be blogging about the cost/benefit of going this route in the future. Regardless, they are cute. Check them out at http://www.cottonbabies.com/.
6. Barack Obama will be our baby's President!
I think that is it for now. We have our first official baby shower this evening. Things are getting more real by the second.

I found your blog off the CHSFS Korea forum a little while ago. We are also a waiting family through CHSFS' Korea program. We are probably about 5-6 months behind you in timing. I'm excited for you...getting closer. I can't wait to be where you are. The waiting is hard, but I know it will all be worth it. (I just keep saying that over & over.) I started a blog too. Enjoying following your journey. Good luck.
