Day 2, 12 to Go
Throughout this process I have fought all of my count down urges very hard and I must say I am impressed that I have made it this long. As always in the adoption process I am counting to an unknown time. While we finish our official visitation on the 23rd we still have to go to pre-court, then court which will most likely be on Memorial day. After court we should be able to bring him "home" then take the next flight to Almaty (they only fly on Mon, Wed, and Fri.) Once in Almaty we have meetings with the embassy and we will wait for his passport and visa. Yet this is still forever away.
After lunch we had a wonderful visit with JED (his initials, but not what we are calling him.) He was felling better today but still would be a little fussy and then wa la he would spit up all over me. For some reason John has still avoided this experience. I do belive it is only a matter of time:) He is very funny about his tummy time. When we lay him on his belly he grunts a lot (just like his papa) and tries to push up, then flops down. He is really working his new parents over. Beth I have heard those are good bottles too. We can not wait to get him home with some of the cool baby convineces that will help him a lot. The good news is that he is now very good at holdng his head up and is even pulling away trying to sit up.
After writing we met with a friend and had lunch. He is writing a presentation for a job interview and we are really pushing him to start practicing it with us as soon as possible.
After lunch we had a little down time at our apartment then we attempted to go to the Thursday class at the Eurrasian institute. Unfortunately it had been canceled so we met with some students in frount of the building then went out for pizza. It was nice to stay out late, and sadly I finished my book last night. I am going to have to see if I can borrow one from the American corner of the library to keep me entertained for the next few weeks. We also ran out of battery power on the dvd player last night and ended up watching poorly dubed over ER. That was some pretty interesting entertainment. OK, We are now heading to the Ecology musueum. This should be fun.

Dad and Carol Decker say:
We know it is hard to believe right now, but a year from now as little JED is running around the house, all this time will be a very fond memories.
The memories of what you are doing right now will be with you the rest of your lives as a time of wonder and miracles.
We are praying for you three every day..
You are awesome!

We are joining in on the countdown also. Do you want me to get some bottles and send them to a Seattle address? I would be more than happy to have an official errand. The weather is beautiful this morning. We had wind and stormy weather Wednesday and Thursday evenings. typical baseball season weather:-) Stay busy and time will move along quicker than you think.
Love,
Jim and Beth
***HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY KARON***
I hope you can spend alot of time today with JED and enjoy being a Mommy. Those cool baby things they have out now will be so much fun to use while raising your little guy. Gosh, didn't have alot of that when Kelsey was a baby. Plus living in Scotland, we were quite limited. We can hardly wait till you have him home and we can meet him.
love to the three of you
Jeni
