The Cat is out of the Bag!

By the heading of this post, you know that we have spilled the beans about our adoption. On Saturday, I told my sister the news that we are beginning our adoption process. I HAD to tell her before I could tell anyone else. My sister and I are extremely close, and if I didn't tell her first, I would hear about it for the rest of my life. However, the first picture is of the onesies I made to tell her the good news. The onesies say, "I heart Auntie Brianna" "Auntie Brianna's Cupcake" and "Made in Ethiopia." Everyone was tearing up as Brianna lifted them out of the bag! She was so excited. Auntie Brianna has been asking for a niece/nephew since Travis and I got married - for over three years. So, she has finally got her wish! Travis also called his parents to share with them the good news. They were super excited as well.

Before telling Brianna, earlier Saturday, I made my "first" baby purchase (hence the second photo). I bought a Baby Einstein photo album. Travis and I are hoping to fill it with pictures of us, our families, and Puppy Lily and send them with an AGCI family once we recieve our referral, so that our baby will be able to see pictures of us before we go pick her up. It is amazing because it is water-proof and chew-proof! It is so awesome, and I can't wait to fill to it up with pictures :)

One last note, last night Travis and I began a journal to our Baby Girl, whom we like to refer to as our little Cupcake. I hope she will enjoy reading it in future years, and knowing how much her mommy and daddy love her :)
