Yesterday I received an email from my coordinator that many referrals came in this week, so I quickly moved up in the process. :) Yipee! Not really sure what that yet means for me, but yipeee! I believe that my paperwork is still being translated, the estimated timeline was 2-6 weeks for that and at this point, my paperwork has been 'In Translation' for almost a month. Sheesh, hurry up! It seems that there are many families at the same point in the process as I am! :)
Tuesday I plan to call to set up an appointment for my immunizations, looks like I will need:
* Tetanus (just got)
* Hepatitis A (a series of 3 shots)
* Hepatitis B ( also a series of, I believe, 3 shots)
* Typhoid
* Rabies (maybe?)
* Tuberculosis (maybe?)
And this is coming from the girl that absolutely hates shots - ugh - I must really be serious about this little girl!!!!! :)
I am told that I should also bring:
stuff for diarrhea, hand sanitizer, flying insect spray, antihistamine, decongestant, anti-motion sickness medication, aspirin, ibuprofen, mild laxative, cough suppressant, throat lozenges, antacid, anti fungal / antibacterial ointments and creams, eye drops, first aid reference guide, mild sedative, anti-anxiety medication and water purification tablets.
NO KIDDING! THIS IS WHAT IS RECOMMENDED THAT YOU BRING, STRAIGHT FROM THE CDC WEBSITE. IF THIS DOESN'T SCARE YOU OUT OF THE TRAVEL, NOTHING WILL. IT SURE SEEMS LIKE ONE OF THOSE NEW COMMERCIALS THAT CLAIM THEIR MEDICATION WILL TAKE AWAY YOUR COLD BUT YOU MAY GET A RUNNY BUTT, MILD HEMORRHOIDS, NAUSEA, ETC.

Izaak, Elijah & Ty 'Bear'
Cousins (Izaak wants to name my daughter (his cousin) Isabella, Sant (for 'Santa') or Hershey (his friend's dog's name.) Hmmmm I told him that if we name her 'Hershey,' that would mean that we get to give her a lot of kisses.
Kolter Matthius Simon
Littlest Cousin......possibly. Kolter may indeed be the same age as his little girl cousin in Kaz. :)

Yeah Christy,
I hope that means you will travel soon. My dossier is at the consulate so I am hoping it gets to Kaz soon. Yeah I have a travel list from my agency and all those items are on the list plus more, no wonder we can only take a few clothing items, their is no room. I too HATE needles and shots, so this process has been a serious one for me, anyone who knows me knows that if I am willingly getting shots and having my blood taken I must be serious about becoming a mom. Hope all is going well, enjoy the holiday weekend.
