9-9-09

So...today started off with a blast! Not!! Rob and I had a dentist appointment we could not forget, it was on 9-9-09 at 9, how funny is that? I had an opportunity at this point to ask when is the best time to start our future child with a dental program. I was told you don't really need to worry until they are 3. I explained about the adoption and all, they were really nice, they suggested that we bring the baby in after we get home and they would check the teeth out. they explained that children start teething anywhere from 4-6 months and that they thought it would be a good idea to bring the child in and they can see if the child had been put to bed with a bottle. I had heard that you should never put your child to bed with a bottle unless it is "PLAIN" water. The formula and "sugar water" can rot their teeth and affect their gums. I felt good that I had asked.

I am over-anxious today, I am not-so-patiently waiting for the draft of our home study. I was told oh 4 to 5 days and I will have it written up. I know how to count and it has been exactly 10 days since our final homestudy visit. If I subtract the weekend and holiday, that is 7 days, where is it already?????? I think I have emailed the local agency 4 times already about it and all I get is, she is typing away, she is working on it. I had your questions on the self study done in 2 days and that was "typing away" and 12 pages later, come on already!!! Sorry to vent but let's get on with it!!!

I am hoping to update very soon with the home study is done and on it's way to NY. Here's hoping!!!

  2. Thank you! I am just so over anxious and I don't want to keeping harping on them but I hate when someone tells me one thing and it takes longer or whatever. I would rather you tell me 2 weeks and it only take a week or something.

  3. I totally know what you mean!

    Oh, for the email subscription thing... The only way I know how to tell you to do it is to sign into your blogger... Then go to my blog and click "Feedburner" where it says Delivered by Feedburner. That'll take you into Google Feedburner. Where it says "Burn a Feed right this instant" type in your blog address (http:// and all). If it says it found more than one address, use the second one that ends in RSS. Verify the info on the next page. Keep clicking next unless you want to subscribe to that other stuff. I didn't!

    When you come to the page with the different blog options (blogger, typepad, wordpress) click on the 3rd tab up top that says "Publicize."

    Then on the left choose "Email Subscriptions." Click "Activate."

    Then go to the second drop down box (the first is English) and choose "Blogger." Click Go. It'll then go to your blog. You can change the title of the widget here if you want it to say something other than "subscribe via email." And that should be it!

    To check on it later, you can just click on "feedburner" on your blog when you're signed in and it'll take you to where you set it up but this time, where you initially typed your blog in, you can select your current blog. Then you can do things like change the time of day the emails are sent by going to publicize, email subscriptions, delivery options... Stuff like that.

    Sorry this is so long, but I had a problem the first time I set it up so I wanted it to be detailed :-) Let me know if you have a problem!
