DNA is at the lab!

I got an e-mail this morning from the nice lady at LabCorp. She said that the 2nd DNA sample arrived at the lab in the U.S. today. I have looked back at many of my online friends' timelines and it seems that for most of them, the time between the arrival of the 2nd DNA sample at the lab and their U.S. Embassy appointment is anywhere between 16 and 22 days!! YIKES!!! That's so soon! I may be staying in Antigua for a shorter period than I had imagined.

We've been busy here, working on Miranda's room. Below are some pics of the boys working on the crib and what her room looks like today...with all the suitcases spread out all over the floor!
We ended up using the crib bumper and ruffle that we used with the boys. It is a light colored denim. We bought cute flowered girly sheets to go with them and they look good together!
Here is a picture of the cute bag that my friend Melissa from work gave me last night for Miranda. It's the first thing we have with her name embroidered on it!! Thanks so much Melissa.
Finally, I have to give a shout-out to our friend Lisa from church. She has basically served as our private notary over the past 9 months, helping us with all of our documents. Thanks so, so much to her for saving us lots of money in notary fees and for being so excited for us in our adoption!
