Doctor, Doctor...

I called pediatricians (well, really only one) today. She comes highly recommended by my amazing sis who uses her for her kids. She wasn't accepting new patients at this time, but said that she would be happy to take a look at our referral once we receive it. I also spoke with Paula (our Parents-as-Teachers representative) a while back and she's going to look over the paperwork, as well. I'm expecting some developmental delay, and even minor to moderate health concerns, but we just want to make sure that we're being proactive and facing any obstacles head-on. We want to give this child the best possible start in life, and though we know that the caregivers at the orphanage are doing an amazing job looking after our child until he/she can be home with us, there's no replacement for a family.

We're getting ready for you little one. We can't wait until you're finally home with us!
