Early December Update

I'm up again with Little Nahui. She's actually asleep, but now I'm the one who can't fall asleep... I was laying there just watching her sleep. She looked so cute, although not entirely peaceful, because she's all stuffed up and has to breathe through her mouth. Sometimes she seems a little bit delirious when she wakes up : (

I guess I could do something useful like pay the bills, but instead I'm blogging and on facebook! You'll all be happy to know that the kids will be coming with us for Christmas! It's not permanent though, it's just a relative visit. For the permanent placement, the Arizona State social worker has to send in paperwork for the state ICPC (and she's waiting on something from someone, although she didn't specify what). THEN, she will submit it to the State of Arizona, who will process it, however long that takes, and THEN they will submit it to the State of California. Eventually, it will trickle down to our local ICPC Office and then to the ICWA Social Worker, whom I've already spoken to. She says from there, it will be no more than 60 days until they are placed with us.

My guess is we'll get the kids around the same time that Little Huitzil is born, because I estimated how much time everything will take and because the world is crazy that way. I'm sure there are many wonderful as well as challenging times ahead. The process is taking a long time, which is frustrating, but I'm finally at peace with it and know that in the end it will probably be best that we had more time to mentally prepare for their arrival.
