Today my little guy turned 5 months old. It is difficult not to think about all the milestones that we are missing in his life. I have to admit, I was sure hoping to get an email from the consulate saying that our I-600 had been pre-approved or at least some updated pictures. That was not to be.
Yesterday I got to rejoice with Jessica in that she received her I-600 pre-approval. Today she found out that their Giving and Receiving ceremony (GNR) is December 10th. It is amazing in so many ways but especially because her I-600 was received at the consulate on October 28th, the same day ours was. They have up to 60business days to approve it. It gives me hope that maybe we too will soon be receiving our pre-approval. Of course, I don't want to get my hopes up thinking that for sure it will happen because I have learned that in the world of adoptions, anything goes. What might take one family a short time can take another family a long time.
Tonight I did some grocery shopping and bought some more things for Levi. I am not sure how many clothes to take along for him but I know that I still do not have enough. So, I pick up something here and something there. I picked up the cutest Tigger outfit for him at Wal-Mart. Of course, because his room has a Pooh theme to it, I always scope out anything with Pooh or his friends on it.

Happy 5 Months, Levi! I hope you spend your six month birthday with your forever family! Tracy, isn't it so hard not to get overly excited thinking about when you could receive the word of your pre-approval?! Here's hoping it's really soon!
Oooh, not much longer. I can feel it! I can't wait to hear you are traveling.
Happy Belated Birthday Levi!
