Another Small Milestone

We received our acceptance paperwork last week! Very exciting!

We did not have time this past weekend to get the notarized sections completed, but we went through the stack of paperwork and signed all of the non-notarized sections.
One section had 180 pages that we had to sign and date (with date written out). I wish that we were in the month of May rather than February!

I had been told that these papers required more signatures than a house-closing. They were not kidding! Owch.

We are planning to notarize and ship the gigantic stack of papers on Friday due to Aj's work schedule this week.

We had another education class this past weekend. This class was 'Infant Care', and was held at a local hospital.
4 hrs of infant care information... which sounded a tad excessive at first... but it was a great class!! I would highly recommend it to any first-time parent.

We were given info on basic baby care - feeding, bathing, diapering (yes - Aj changed his first diaper! whoohoo!! .. first of thousands.. haha), etc.
They gave us some great info on child safety (did you know that 39 babies in CO died last year from suffocating on a crib bumper??), tips on selecting a pediatrician, etc. A pediatrician came in and talked about baby illnesses.. what to look for.. etc.

Soo.. all in all.. not a waste of time. And very beneficial. I was impressed that the woman teaching the class made a point to explain how certain things would be different for Aj and I, as our baby is being adopted. We were the only adoptive parents in the class.

I wish that all of our education classes would be this interesting and informative!
