CONGRATULATIONS!! That is so wonderful! And yes- I was a total chicken. :-)

Easy guess, but NO WAY! I'd be afraid that on the remote chance I was wrong, Laura might come hunt me down. :-)

This is great news you guys. I'm very happy for you.

I want to say I was trying to come up with a creative reply that would say I thought you were expecting but like Sandi that really is a no-no in the world of infertility and adoption so CONGRATULATIONS - what wonderful news!!!

Continued blessings!!

I was curious about the other photos, especially the airport shot and the curious placement of the bouquet of flowers, but nothing really jumped out...until you all posed facing the breeze.

Awesome news all the way around!

OK so it what I thought, but you never want to call a woman pregnant if you are not for sure.

This is wonderful news, congratulations. You are going to have one very busy household.

I can't wait to follow along on the next part of this journey.

Congrats on number two and number 3!!! 3 kids are thrilling... but 4 are fun!!! (at least I hope!) I will let you know once we go get our litle guy.

@mark, you got it! After five years of us trying, Laura's pregnant again.

I knew I'd have to wait for a guy to make a solid guess. And don't worry, I wouldn't have set you up like that.

Yes, three kids are exactly what we wanted -- but, we just didn't expect to have the last two so fast.

We chose not to share the news earlier because the in-country staff was really, really concerned about the impact it might have on the proceedings. In hindsight, I think the angst was unnecessary, but it's water under the bridge now.

Thanks for playing.

well, I've never really spoken with Laura so I guess it won't matter if I'm wrong and she doesn't speak to me going forward...but my guess is either the local Karaganda cuisine is/was better than expected or you are growing a third?

Oh and congrats on bringing home your second!

@jennifer m and @sandi: ah, c'mon... you gals are such chickens! :-)

Thanks very much for the continued encouragement. I'm just happy to know someone is still showing an interest in my musings.

I have an idea, but I don't want to leave it as a comment, just in case :-) Looking forward to you unveiling the secret.

I am so happy you guys are all home together. I hope that you can get Vic's visa squared away, why is it that nothing can be easy?

Sandi

Not going to guess. :-) But I can't wait to hear!...

Not going to guess. :-) But I can't wait to hear!

I love Babywise! Totally saved me as a first time mom who had not a clue as to what to really do with a 7 month old other than lots of love and kisses.

Glad things are going so well!
