Bridget,

I Spoke to Erica once and really liked her as she was the most informative. So, what is the update on your case? Did she say what's going on now?

same, though she didn't term it "admin processing". She said, "they're still verifying the information on his application". I don't get what else there is to verify. His parents are dead, check, he lives where he said, check, he works for himself, check, he went to school at such and such, check. Why do they only do this for some and not others? Why don't they trust him yet they trust other people who interviewed?

UGH! I know you had to pick yourself up off the floor after that.

Don't just open your mouth and prove yourself a fool....put it in writing.

It gets harder the more you know. Because the more you find out, the uglier everything seems.

Butterball looks so small in Daddy's arms, but when he is in a picture all by himself, he looks like , well, a ButterBall!

Yassmine...hes beautiful...hope life as a new mommy is treating u well...

I love motherhood. No matter how tired and sore I am, its still the best job in the world :)

Yassmine, what a beautiful little baby. Sara you have a beautiful baby too.

Sara and I are working on an arranged marriage for them ;)

auntie bridget almost screamed "wrap that baby up!!!" but then I remembered you live in Texas where it's higher than 29 degrees. lol.

Yeah that day it was 79 degrees outside. Of course it dips down to 43 the next day. Weirdass-Texas weather. I keep the house at 70 degrees, a degree or two warmer for spongebaths, and a tad lower when we got that heat wave a coupla days ago. I found these neat-o stick on thermometers and have one in his armpit. Its comforting to always know his what his temp is and not have to disturb him to check it. I just look at during each diaper change. Im also religous about socks. The other day I forgot to put them on and his little feet after a diaper change and they turned blue! Freak-out mommy! I keep his feet encased at all times now.

Butterball looks so small in Daddy's arms, but when he is in a picture all by himself, he looks like , well, a ButterBall!

Well daddy's no iddy-biddy. He's about 5 10 with alot of upper body muscle, so yeah he makes Mehdi look pretty tiny. Makes it all the much sweeter to see big strong man turn into oatmeal over a tiny baby :D
