More Details about Our Little Girl (Part 1)

The past few days have been a whirlwind! I have SO MUCH to "tell" you! First of all, I cannot post "her" picture yet because we need to send in our acceptance paperwork first. But, we will be doing this very, very soon so that we can share her beautiful picture with you!

This all started on Thursday...I was at home, by myself, Riley was with my mother-in-law and the phone rang at 9:30am. I didn't answer it and no one left a message. I didn't think another thought about it.

Later that afternoon, about 4 or 4:30, I was just scrolling through my caller id (because I am nosy like that!) and I saw that my previous agency had called. I honestly was very paranoid since I'd just blogged about how disappointed I was in our process with them. I thought for sure someone must have read my little ol' blog and was calling me to chew me out.

I finally got up the nerve to email the director and I said that I had noticed someone from her agency had called that morning and was it her? She emailed me back immediately and said "yes" and asked if she could call me at home. I emailed her back and said "yes."

At this point I feel like I am going to throw up because I am so nervous that she is going to be upset with me. I am sure that she is either calling me about my blog OR she is calling to finally tell me that they really can't help us and we need to find another agency.

The phone rings. I answer and we exchange pleasantries and then she says, "Erin, I have a baby for you." I say, "You do??" She said, "Yes, but it is a girl. Is that okay?" "YES!"

She tells me a little bit more about this sweet baby girl and then tells me she's going to email me her file for us to check her out and consult with an International doctor.

I am at home by myself, so I call Michael at work and tell him that we just got a referral. He is just as shocked as I am.
