Katie, Tim & Cale Nester...

...would love it if you would follow along as we record our adoption journey. We feel blessed to be called to adopt a son from Ethiopia!
About our journey:
- We requested "either" gender, 0-18 months.
- We received our referral of Megersa on Nov 5, 2009; he was 2 months old.
- Megersa's name is pronounced "Meh-gur-sah."
- Our case was submitted on Dec 18, 2009 and our court date was Jan 27, 2010. We were fortunate to pass court on the first try!
- Tim's mom and I left for Ethiopia on March 8, 2010 for an Embassy appointment of March 10, 2010. We passed!
- Megersa met the rest of his family in the US 3.13.10.
- When we re-adopt him, his full legal name will be Megersa Jace Nester.

Frogs

So, I'm not sure if I'm going to keep this new background. I'm not crazy about the little dots in the backdrop. But it really does say "little boy." Reminds me of last summer when I caught a frog and wanted to see what Cale would do with it. Even at 16 months he took every opportunity to be a little boy and was not shy about squishing that frog. Poor thing...didn't stand a chance with my boy around.



Anyway, the print is kinda hard to read, right? I don't know about it.
I thought I'd change it because I need something a little more "manly"...haha. I still can't believe I'm gonna have 2 little boys in a few months. I'm very excited!

We're having a garage sale fundraiser at the end of this month, so it's been a good motivation for me to go through all of my stuff. I even went through Cale's clothes and just couldn't believe that he fit into some of those little outfits! In 2 years he's gone from 6.5 lbs, wearing some newborn outfits, to weighing 34.5 lbs and wearing a 3T. Crazy!! I'm glad that I'll be able to use those clothes so soon.

You know what's funny too, is that I went through a bunch of my old maternity clothes, and realized that I borrowed at least 50% of them. I figured after 2 years, it was time to give them back...so I took awhile to separate them. Every time I pulled something out...I shuddered! Yikes! It's insane the amount of change (and weight) your body is put through for a baby! Of course it's all worth it, but yeowza, I'm definitely not anxious to get into those clothes again! :)
