Today is one month ago that we got Bethany, so that is a big celebration day for us! :) She is doing really well, but we're still having sleeping problems which is a sign of an underlying issue. We've really scaled back this week on activities and tried to keep her world very small. We didn't make it to church Sunday - her sleeping has been too erratic so we felt like she didn't need any new experiences. It was a last minute decision, but we think the right one to make. We're sure hoping to be able to take her this Sunday, but we'll wait to see how she does. We have trips to New Orleans this Friday and Monday. The Internat'l Adoption Clinic recommended that she see an opthalmologist, just to make sure her vision is fine, so that appt. is this coming Friday morning at Tulane. Then, Monday is her appt. with the ENT at Children's. We really think her vision is fine, but we'll know for sure after Friday.
Todd went back to work Monday, and we can tell people were praying because she really did fine. He's gone when she wakes up, and he calls to talk to her a couple of times a day, but she has done just fine. She is SO happy to see him when he comes home, so he loves that. Todd's mom and I were outside this afternoon with her when he drove up, and she was instantly all smiles and waving at him and saying "Da Da". It was cute. I am loving my time at home with her - especially when it's just she and I. I don't get hardly anything done but we sure do have a good time. When you come to see me, don't expect a clean house because I've pretty much quit cleaning....my baby is much more fun to play with that doing housework. :)
The last pic I'm posting is Bethany watching her new Baby Einstein DVD from my cousin. She was enamoured, as you can tell. Guess that's all for now - or all that my tired brain can remember to type. Thanks again for your interest in and concern for Bethany.

Stacey and Todd, we are so happy for you. We miss Stacey tremendously at work, but we know how much she is needed at home and how much she is enjoying your new little girl. I prayed last Sunday that Todd's transition to work would go well and I am so happy to see it has. We miss you and hope to get to see you as soon as Bethany is ready. Sending lots of love and prayers your way.
