Some days it still shocks me that we are finally parents! I don't know why this still suprises me but it sure is the best feeling in the whole world!
Izzy is doing great, she has found her feet and enjoys playing with them. She also has started talking and giggling a LOT more. It is so darn cute! I took her to teh doc on Thursday because she had this weird bump on her gums, it looks too far over and high to be a tooth but I didn't know what it was, the doctor said it is just a cyst and will go away on its own. She is 16lbs 130z!!!! In the 80th percentile!!!! My girl is just growing up so fast!!!!
We are taking our first long road trip this week, we are going to Wisconsin to visit all my old friends and co-workers. We are also going to get together with the couple and their adopted daughter that we met in Texas that were staying at our hotel. They live in WI also close to my friends so it will be cool to get the girls together again, they are 2 days apart.
I sent our 5 month update and our last post placement report to the agency on Thursday so I will be following up with them this week to make sure they got it and that they get going on filing the paperwork with the courts for our finalization. I am starting to get anxious about it, I just want her to be legally ours forever!!!
Other than that not much new. DH and I sat down yesterday to set a budget and see where our spending is going............HOW DEPRESSING. Now that i only work one day a week, and we have the adoption loan, money sure is tight! I mean in reality i wouldn't change it and go back to working full time and send Izzy to daycare, but it is a little hard to swallow, since I used to make a really good living as a packaging engineer. We will be fine but we definately have to be careful and mindful of our spending, something that really as a couple we have never had to do before...
Here are a few new pictures, one of daddy and Izzy on the 4th and one of me and Izzy from Saturday hanging out in her little baby pool trying to beat the heat!

Adorable photos!! I hear you on the finace stuff. We are trying to figure out a budget for when the baby arrives. Scary!
Look at that sweet little thing :)
Awwwwwwww
Sooo cute:) I hate budgeting, and unfortunately, I think adoption makes most of us have to really pinch our pennies. But, like you said, it's totally worth it!
