It's offical. Meredith is now a Seales!!!!!

The civil registry held their promise our birth certificate was just picked up. So now on to the next step. What is the next step you ask???? Well as we speak they are submitting the birth certificate to be translated into English this should be ready to pick up tomorrow afternoon or Monday morning. Then they have to apply for Meredith's passport which could take 24-72 hours to return. Then it is on to the embassy to wait for PINK!!!!
Keep in mind all those crazy days the embassy is closed in the next 2 weeks. So we could find out our appointment next week or the following week. I still feel like we won't travel till after Easter. But hoping for a awesome surprise.

Oh Rebecca got her birth certificate too today, so Zachary is now officially a Steen. As it appears right now we will get to be in Guatemala together!!!

COME ON PINK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Todd and Veronica, this is the wonderful news we have been waiting for. We are just thrilled "pink". Maybe you will get that invitation in a few days. We are all praying for that.
I'm keeping the others posted.

Busy Busy Weekend..

Well Todd and I have had a very busy weekend. Ever since we found out that Meredith is here we've been going in overdrive. As you can see we finished up the nursery this weekend. We will put the changing table together sometime this week, the crib was challenge enough for one day. Oh and the border (that one piece deal didn't work too good Becky). Oh and Todd says if he sees one more thing Hello Kitty, he's going to hurl. hahaha But anyway the room is painted, the border hung, and the crib is put together. The only thing that's missing is Meredith!!! We haven't heard anything else since Tuesday, I'll try to get some more information this week, but it's doubtful that the agency will know anything new. They said we would get our next round of pictures in about 5 weeks.

We've made it past the 7 week mark....

how many more to go??? That's the million dollar question. We are just sitting and wondering when will we get out. We are still hoping and praying for a previo free stay in PGN. I find myself hitting the send/receive button on my email every couple of minutes, and ever time my cell phone rings my heart drops. This waiting is almost unbearable. But everyone tells me that NO news is GOOD news where PGN is concerned. On a down note, my friend Keely found out yesterday that she received a previo on Friday for something totally ridiculous. But thankfully she went right back in that day. As for our weekly update, it was the same as it has been for 7 weeks. We are still in PGN waiting for approval.
