Waiting, Working and Spending...

Well, we got fingerprinted last Wednesday. Unlike the last fingerprints that I had done (for the Iowa Bar admission)was with ink, but the FBI fingerprints were done with electronic equipment. Apparently the squiggles in my fingerprints are very small, so it took us many tries before we got the right computer image. Now, the fingerprints are with the FBI. Once the fingerprints are analyzed, the CIS will issue the I171-H. Then we just have translation before all the docs go to Vietnam. In the meantime, we are waiting again...

We have been nesting. Clare was in town last weekend, and she helped us rip out carpet and paint. We have a few more home improvement projects we would like to get done before the baby arrives.

Since the agency advised we start buying baby products little by little to spread out the cost (because we have big expenditures at the time of travel/adoption), I have been shopping! Andrea and Matt were in town this weekend, and Andrea and I went nursery shopping and purchased some green furniture and a big yellow rocking, reclining chair. We also decided on themes: stars and frogs in yellow and green (with purple accents, since the room is purple). Matt and Nate helped with assembly...so, we are on our way:) The baby also received quite a few Christmas gifts from his future grandparents and aunts!

Hopefully they no longer have the "unidentified finger prints" from that time Nate and I drove to New York City to watch the ball drop in Times Square... that could be interesting if they make the connection!
