I-797C, Notice of Action

Monday, August 17, 2009: Received our Notice of Provisional Approval for the I-800. Yeah, we are one step closer to traveling to meet our little Andres. We still have our visas to receive and some other documents to be authenticated. Patience is much needed during this time.

Eco-Friendly Baby Gifts

This evening, we received some gifts from our friend, Monica-my high school friend from Miami. She purchased some items from our registry at www.satara-inc.com
Wow, the bamboo hooded towels are so soft. She also bought us some wooded toys and a bamboo shirt and matching hat in "chocolate." Sooooooooooooo cute!

Starting the Nursery

Today, we assembled the crib which didn't take too long. It looks so beautiful in the nursery. Doug and I had a lot of fun putting it together. The room is starting to take shape, and we think Andres will really like it.
When we are in Colombia, we are going to have my aunt, Ana Maria, create some artwork for the nursery. She is really talented with baby artwork!

Baby Furniture Arrived

Yeah! The baby furniture was delivered this afternoon. The dresser comes assembled, and Doug and I will be working to put the crib together tonight. We also had our friend come over to paint the ceiling in white for a brighter look. The room looks so cheery!

First Baby Gifts Received

This week, we received some baby gifts for Andres.

One of my yoga students gave us a beautiful children's book authored by her and a cute little stuffed crib animal toy made of cotton.

We also received a gift set of "Born Free" bottles which are 100% BPA-free (Bisphenol-A Free Plastic).

Everyone is being so generous! Thank you.

More Baby Items

Tuesday, 8/4/09: I stayed up late registering for more baby items. A friend recommended a wonderful website for lots of organic items. I ended up registering for bamboo blankets and towels, as well as wooden toys. What a wonderful website. Check it out: http://www.satara-inc.com/

Fashionable Baby

Andres will be a fashionable baby! Doug is already making plans to have him wear baby "Superga" shoes, which are sold by R.G. Barry. Very cute!
I love the red and yellow ones the best!
